The Cloudship Club
First a little history. My kids and I have been reading young adult fiction together since they were very little. We've read all the Harry Potter books, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia and many, many others. I eventually got a hankerin' to try my hand at one and so, over the course of the summer of 2007 and then off and on over the next year and a half I wrote this book. As I wrote, I read portions of the novel to my kids and got their input as the story developed. They were very helpful and had a big influence on the final product.
After publishing my first novel, Laylek's Song, I learned that I'm not very patient with traditional publishing; and so, in an effort to save myself a lot of time and frustration, I decided to try out self-publishing through Amazon's CreateSpace. I have to say that it has been a wonderfully straight-forward process so far. Now, after only a few months of trial and error, we've approved the final proof and just now ordered our first batch of copies.
I particularly enjoyed all the creative control I had in designing my own cover, doing the interior layout and, of course, putting together these pages. Now I just need to sell some copies to pay for it all
Buy the book
Although the book costs the same in either place, we make more profit if you purchase it from the publisher (create space); however, if you are making other purchases and want to get free shipping on Amazon, please use this link as it will also provide us with a little extra revenue.
