One morning, I expect to wake up to breakfast in bed--served by Amazon/Kindle. They do everything else for authors with more and more happening all the time.
I've been writing for about thirty years but publishing only about twenty years. Slow starter, that's me! Now, in my later years, I find myself having to ostensibly start over: I'm trying to find my way in a virtual publishing world, after so many years of print publishing only. If I thought my little place was isolated before, it's even more isolated now that I'm tied to my computer. I like it though, very much. I especailly like the freedom of quick, uncomplicated publishing through Kindle on Amazon. Compare having to mail copies of manuscripts to an agent, waiting, waiting, waiting for her to get back to me, then waiting again for some editor to accept or reject one of my novels, so on and so forth. You get the picture. Lately I've been clicking on to the digital platform and uploading precious manuscripts--most written during those other long waits--that I thought I'd never see in print.
Thankfully, I now have a print publisher too--Belle Bridge Books--who has done an amazing job with my last two novels. Both best-sellers in the Kindle Store! The titles are "The Little Known" and "Heir To The Everlasting." We're hoping soon to add the prequel to "Heir..." in ebook format. My e-novel,"A Righteous Wind," is briefly posted for free on Kindle, with almost 15,000 downloads in the US alone (for more titles by Janice Daugharty, see my author's page--almost 100 novels, short stories and essays to pick from).
I write a lot; I write too much, maybe. But now I'm glad I've spent all those hours writing. I'm an excellent typist too.
