Sorry I haven’t been around much the past week or so. My excuse is I’ve been busy with some exciting projects and I’ll do better now that I’m past the hump!
I finished formatting the e-book version of LADY DEARING’S MASQUERADE. It took longer than I expected, but now that I have a detailed cheat sheet it should be much easier for my other backlist books.
Anyway, LADY DEARING’S MASQUERADE is now available for Kindle, Nook and other e-readers at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords!
I also just did some major renovation on my author website at www.elenagreene.com. I’ve made it more elegant (IMHO) and I also cleaned up the HTML so it is no longer “deprecated.” If you do not know what it means for HTML to be deprecated, don’t worry. I barely know either!
I’ve also brought myself into the current century by getting myself a Facebook Page, which also was more complicated than I expected. Maybe I should’ve gotten a teenager to help me! If you get a chance, please stop by and visit.
Have you risen to any recent challenges, technical or otherwise?
And look to a contest next Saturday, once I figure out how to do that with e-books. Right now I need to go find some celebratory chocolate. 🙂
Elena
Congratulations on your victory over technology! I worked in the high-tech field for 20 years, but still find it somewhat intimidating… Must eat chocolate now…
Excellent way to celebrate, and you definitely deserve it. The website looks very clean and easy to navigate, and the FB page matches nicely.
I learned how to add a meter to my writing blog, for keeping track of how close my book is to done. I also learned how to add pages. I still need to learn how to do that ebook think you’ve done. Good for you!
Congratulations on your ebook release! It looks great
Love the website redu and liked the Facebook page ….and yeah..sometimes I have to ask for help with technology…lol
gorgeous cover, Elena!!!! I bought my copy! Website looks nice and Facebook is already hopping.
You have been busy and definitely deserve a celebration.
As for the e-books, like so many things, the first time you try to figure it out and do it seems to take forever. After that it goes much faster.
I avoid technical challenges. I usually get the basics- I can turn on my computer, access e-mail, surf the web, and type papers. If there is a glitch, I’m in trouble. I’ll call my oldest daughter for help. My other two children and husband know less than I do about computers.
I know there is much more my computer, phone, and TV can do, but I don’t know how to do it. If I ever do get an e-reader, I’ll have to lock myself in a room with no distractions to learn how to use it. Even then, I am sure I will underutilize it.
Good luck with all your new and improved projects.
Thanks for checking out my new “spaces”, everyone. I’m glad you like them. The Facebook page is still something of a work in progress, as I figure out what I can do with it!
Congratulations on conquering the electronic frontier! I can barely manage my computer so I am in awe!
And that cover is GORGEOUS! Off to check out your webspaces!
Chocolate is definitely in order!
As for new technology I think I’m going to have to get a Twitter account. Not because I’m going to Tweet, but because I want to have access to this website: http://kindlegraph.com/books
Elena, maybe you should see if you can be one of the authors. I’d ask for a Kindlegraph.
Artie Mesia, it’s on my list to go look into Kindlegraph.
By the way, if any of you have suggestions for the website or Facebook, please do let me know.
