It’s been a crazy few days of trying to get the paperback cover uploaded to amazon kdp. When I’ve converted it to a pdf, it’s been adding a massive white space (thanks, but no thanks). I finally managed to sort it by pasting the original jpg into a word document of exactly the same size and then saving it as a pdf. Here’s a print of what the front and back cover will look like. It’s been a hard slog, but hopefully worth it.
I’ve finally got my head around headers and footers (no pun intended) so now all the different stories of the incoming Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles will have their names on the top of the pages. It’s a small thing, but sometimes those things can make all the difference. I’m almost ready to upload the manuscript, and then it’ll just be a matter of making/designing the front and back cover, and the spine. Nearly there…
Getting quite excited now. The new ebook is out tomorrow. Got to keep beavering away though. I’ve got the paperback collection of all 5 of Dave Richmond’s adventures to finish, and then I’m going to finally finish typing up my long running children’s adventure story ‘The Badger Helper Watcher’. Then there’s the spinoff about one of the characters in ‘Richmond’s Halloween Horror’ to work on and the sequel to ‘Bright Future’ to finish.
The editing of ‘Richmond’s Roadshow Revelation’ is going really well. I’ve been adding the changes on the laptop and I’m halfway through. I’ll need to read it through once more, just to check for typos and all that, and then the ebook will be ready for publishing.
Hey there, readers. I’ve had a pretty good morning of editing the fifth Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicle: “Richmond’s Roadshow Revelation”. I must be weird, because I quite enjoy the editing process; hacking away at my work until it’s indistinguishable from the original mess of a first draft.
So it shouldn’t be too long before RRR is out as an ebook and shortly after that, the paperback of all five stories will follow. Should only be a few weeks till all that happens. I’ve got a definite idea for the paperback cover, but there’s no point in doing it until I know the dimensions of the book (mostly how thick it’ll be), because the size of the front, back, and spine has to be exact. Starting to get the new book nerves now, but looking forward to seeing what people think of the new material. I’ll keep you posted.
