My First E-Book is now Available!

EVEN IN SILENCE, THE JOURNEY OF A LADY PREACHER is my first E-Book. I am actually executing my publishing plan! But not without a step or two backwards first... It was easier to create my Rogue Rose blog site than it is to grasp the reality of letting go of a hard fought for dream of having my work published by someone in the 'accepted' publishing industry. Oh, how determined I was when I was creating that blog! "... not looking back ..." I best remember that a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways!!!

And a good report! I have my first comtestants for my First Annual Rogue Bud Writing Competition! Except for one of them sent me a query instead of an essay telling me why I should publish their work... I've been getting good traffic at my blog, but not a whole lot of entries!!! Go figure! I'm a nice lady, and I'll do a good job for whoever ends up winning the competition!

The E-Book is in PDF format. I'm going to check out Kindle and see if it supports it... I know that I-Pad has its own format, but I've chose not to go through the changes of learning how to do the formatting. From what I've read I want to just keep it simple. Maybe down the road I can experiment, but not now. First I have to continue to educate myself about E-Books and protecting my copy rights... I guess if someone wants to run off with this memoir then it's pretty much a 'free' target. I'll know a whole lot more before I even consider releasing my novels. I have to find out about the ISBN numbers and all of that 'legal' stuff that I have to do before I can actually distribute my books... Ah, so much to do, and so little time (or energy) to do it!!!

Anyway, I'm one step closer to actually carrying out my massive marketing plan! I hope that my writing contest is a good distraction, and while I'm at it, I hope that it brings some awareness of my writing and publishing worthiness and capabilities!!!

After I told my daughter that I've gone rogue she asked a very pointed question: "Where's the money going to come from?" "Oh, yeah," I told her... "That part..."
