Today I have self-published my first book!
This was a long time in coming. I had attempted this book in 2008-2009 when I wrote it as a Nanowrimo novel and used the winning promotions to self-publish. However, I was in too much of a hurry and submitted a draft rather than a polished copy. Ashamed, I let it stagnate.
I tried to do a full re-write but lost that document in a computer crash. I was devastated.
Until I found the original.
This month, I woke it back up. I did some research and made it better. It has a new title, new cover (or two), and a little bit of new content. The bones were good. It didn't need all the change I thought it did. I'm happy with it. It makes a good first novel. It may not be huge, but it is not terrible.
It is now LIVE on Amazon (link coming), Kindle Direct, CreateSpace, and Goodreads (link coming). There will be a promo or a giveaway.
Also, I have a shiny new facebook author page. https://www.facebook.com/elshahawk . Please go and like it.
I've also tried my hand at NO Content books. I made a couple of cute homework planners.

In the works is a new short story for free on smashwords, and the beginnings of a new manuscript. :)
Stay tuned for more!
