For years, I have dismissed Lulu as irrelevant. They do good work, but they're too expensive for the service they provide. I have been waiting for them to reinvent themselves or go broke.

Suddenly, they're relevant. Sell print/ebook combos direct from your web site, anyone?

It's been a while since I posted about my novel, which is available on Amazon (and soon other places). If you like a strong female detective with plenty of mental problems, give it a try! Boosts are always appreciated.

A Memory of Murder

Some people envision the future. I envision the past.

Die letzten Tage hab ich Band 5 bis 7 noch mal durchgehechelt, immer noch Vertipperlis gefunden und den einen oder anderen Wortdoppler gekillt.
Jetzt die Beta-Anmerkungen in Band 8 einarbeiten, und danach noch mal über 9-12 drübergehen, damit auch alles konsistent ist. Paar kleine Ungereimtheiten hab ich noch entdeckt und hoffentlich gelöst. Wär ja peinlich …

Band 4 ist praktisch fertig. Cover noch. 1. Juni sollte klappen.

Heute hab ich das finale Cover zu Band 4 bekommen, bei Tredition hochgeladen und die Freigabe erteilt. Die erste Version war um einen ganzen mm zu breit. Schlimm …
Jetzt bin ich gespannt, ob auch pünktlich am 1.6. die Veröffentlichung klappt. Ist ja das erste Mal bei Tredition. Aber nach dem massiven Preisanstieg bei BoD wollte ich es mal versuchen. Und so brutal gebunden ist man da auch nicht.

When you see writers begging you to rate and review their books there's a really good reason for it.
Positive ratings and reviews work out to be the equivalent of thousands of dollars of ad revenue.

If you love an author's book, the best way to show it is to rate and review their books.

Also, spread the word.

Manchmal trifft man über Social Media Menschen, die einfach nett und hilfsbereit sind und dann steht jemand wie ich da und weiß gar nicht, wie man damit umgeht.
Dann müssen diese Menschen so introvertierte Sozialisierungschaoten wie mich auch noch stupsen, damit man Hilfe ohne schlechtes Gewissen annimmt.

Somit an dieser Stelle: Danke an @khzimmer2 ,der mich nicht aufgegeben hat und sich generell für die Schreibcommunity einsetzt :plume:

Contacting Us

Most writers are not experts in IT or formatting and would rather spend time writing. Self publishing is really self marketing. Traditional publishers are really marketing companies, few do their own printing, traditionally a Press. Volume paper printing is now mostly China and Eastern Europe. For small numbers of paper copies it’s best value to use Lulu or a similar Print on demand (POD) company.

Authors that want help with formatting and eBook conversion can contact Booknook.biz as we only deal with some local people face to face.

You can contact us here.

All offers of SEO or any other attempt at selling us stuff is junked. Corvids are smart, so no spam.

Ich bin kein Freund von Dark Romance, die in den Bereichen von Consent grau ist.
Lese gerade die Date Szene in und ich bin froh, dass ich eine Szene geschrieben habe, in der ich zeige, wie ich denke, dass man das Erfragen von Consent spielerisch ins Flirten einbauen kann.

Sei wie Ranold: versichere dich, was dein Gegenüber möchte und höre zu.

Consent is sexy😘
