Okay, when I said I was shooting for October 1st, I had no idea things would come together so fast for my Victoria Square cookbook, Recipes to Die For.Well, not exactly. Amazon uploaded the book in less than six hours, which has to be a record. Smashwords is always fast, but then you wait for a long time to see if you make it to the Premium Catalog (which means they distribute it to places like Sony, Kobo, Diesel and Apple. Still waiting on that.) As I write this, I'm still waiting for Barnes & Noble to upload it for Nook. The last time I uploaded to them, it took three weeks. I nagged and nagged, but they weren't going to put that story up until they were good and ready, I guess.
The print version could be ready as soon as next week.
I decided to do a print version because so many of my readers have said they don't have e readers and don't plan on getting them, either. The only problem is, the price tag is higher than I would have liked. And I decided NOT to make the book available to libraries and other bookstores simply because I would lose 23 cents for every book sold. I just can't afford to do that. So, the price tag is $5.99, which still seems high to me, but it was the cheapest I could make it and not lose money.
So, if you'd like to purchase the book right now, it's available on Kindle and (for all e formats) Smashwords. I'll let you know when the print version is available.
I hope you'll like getting to know not only Katie Bonner better, but her vendors and friends on Victoria Square. And ... maybe try a recipe or two while you're at it.
Thank you!
