Short stories coming to Kindle

I don’t just do games you know! I’m currently prepping a short story collection to self-publish on the Amazon Kindle Store. It will contain three stories (two modern fantasy, one science fiction) of about 3000 words each for just 99p.

I am also in the process of writing a full novel but wanted to get some material out there first for exposure and also to get my head around the technicalities of creating a Kindle file. Took me a whole day to work out a process from beginning to end that resulted in a properly formatted eBook with a cover, table of contents and .ncx file.

Once I’m 100% sure it works (the collection has been uploaded and tested) I will upload a .doc/page on www.hungryblackbird.com detailing the process, which should hopefully be of help to others attempting to get into self-publishing.

And for those not sure about self-publishing who would rather keep sending manuscripts to the big publishers in the hope of winning their lottery, please read some of the posts here for enlightenment.
