I think the thing with Amazon is that by just being on there, a book gets a kind of respectability through that familiarity, and people who aren't writers are happier to buy it than from somewhere like Smashwords, which they'd probably never heard of.<br /><br />I'm not relying on this book to pay the bills or anything, I just wanted to make the stories more easily accessible. I'll see how far I get with this approach.<br /><br />Thanks, Lizy. You'll get there, I'm sure!Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-31812064414458939482012-12-13T10:40:59.427+00:002012-12-13T10:40:59.427+00:00Good luck with the new edition, Dan.

Still, I do enjoy working with images, so it's been a fun exercise.<br /><br />Fingers crossed it actually gets a few downloads!Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-35636048487496197172012-12-11T19:33:05.413+00:002012-12-11T19:33:05.413+00:00Hey Dan, it looks great!

Even if does look like a textbook (and I'm not saying it does), it looks like a darned fun one!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183206722136871230noreply@blogger.com
