The Cat's Fancy

I love this new cover!

About five minutes away from finalizing the formatting of THE CAT’S FANCY, my first full-length ebook release (which, coincidentally, happens to be my first full-length novel!).

Originally published in 2000, CAT holds a special place in my heart. It’s a light fairy tale about a cat in love with her master, and it was published in a time (was there such a time?) when folks said that paranormal just couldn’t sell! Read all about it here and look for it on Kindle, Nook, and at other retailers soon! (Maybe tomorrow, fingers crossed!)

After that, I have to burst through a bunch of school with the kids, then schlep (in the rain no less) to Austin for Isabella’s pre-surgery appointment. She has a lip revision and nose revision next Friday. There will be much pampering in her future.

But throughout the day, I’m giving Kathleen O’Reilly grief. She said that Game of Thrones Season One pretty much wrapped things up. I couldn’t disagree more. So I’m calling her out. I think she owes me a coffee! You can read all about it over at our Whine Sisters blog.

What are you doing today?

Using Scrivener to make .mobi and ePub files (for Kindle and Nook etc.)

I recently mentioned how easy it was to use Scrivener to create the ebook files for The Demon You Know, and several folks asked me to go into more detail.

I am nothing if not cooperative :)

So here, for your viewing pleasure, is a video I made of how to set up Scrivener to make your .mobi files (and the ePub is just about the same). Smashwords files must be created outside of Scrivener, but I’ll post a video on that soon, too. (The Smashwords guide is great, but sometimes just seeing the visual helps).

And, of course, I should point out that the sample I’m using for the video is the raw Scrivener file for Dead Friends and Other Dating Dilemmas, which is brand spanking new on Kindle and the Nook and Smashwords. Only 99 cents, folks. Hope you check it out!

I hope the video is helpful! I did the cover for Dead Friends on the fly, and will be posting soon about how I did that. I’m learning as I go and happy to blog about the process. If you have questions or topics related to eBook publishing, formatting and/or marketing, drop me a comment and I’ll see if I can address it!
