Waiting on distribution from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. I am excited. :mrgreen:

Each episode is short at 40 pages or more in the print version and flows like a TV show. Each episode can be enjoyed in one sitting.

I will, I ordered the proof and should be here soon. I have to fix the bar code as you can see in the image above. Otherwise the cover was done in Blender 2.63a and Paint Shop Pro.

Awesome news! I've dabbled at writing over the years. Have 3 finished novels, but they are all terrible. Glad to see someone make it through :)

Thanks guys!! I also just published a eBook version earlier today. :D

You can get the eBook on my distributors page here: The Skabrun Legacy, Episode 1 - eBook

You will also be able to get it on Amazon Kindle, Nook and a few various other places when it is approved for final distribution. Both the print and eBook are waiting, but went ahead and made the eBook available NOW!

I am writing the series like that of a TV show. When you watch a new episode of your favorite show, for my series, that is a new book. If that makes sense!! ;) Already starting the 2nd episode.

Was it hard to get published?

No, I am using Lulu.com. It's a self publish, print on demand website ( meaning, they only print when someone buys it ). Getting onto their store was easy, its getting on the other channels that is a little more painful. I had to order a proof ( which is cool ) to look it over and either approve or deny. If I reject it, I have to fix and order another for proof again. When that is done, then it goes to the retail channels for approval. I am waiting for my proof to get here.

The eBook was easier, as there is no need to order a proof. However, you do have to download it and make sure all is good. That right now is awaiting approval for retail. Otherwise, they are both listed on Lulu's website available for purchase.

The complete hard work, because it is self publish, I will have to handle getting it out there so to speak. I have to promote it unless I pay a ungodly amount for them to do it.
