The Acts of 1 - Update

For the past two months, my book The Acts of 1 - A Collection of Short Stories has been available only for the Kindle. Now it's available in paperback format on Createspace and Amazon. Each link takes you directly to the book's page. The price for the paperback copy is $9.99. It is still available for the Kindle at $2.99 and also available for now in the Kindle Owners Lending Library. It will also be available for the Nook next month.

   As I stated in October, there are a total of seven stories. Four of them are listed in the description: The Prayer, The Note, A Flash In Time, and The Librarian. There other three stories are A Wish For Sarah, Waiting Room, and The Immortals. There was a recent movie called The Immortals, but this story has absolutely nothing to do with that movie. My story takes place in a drama class in the present at a fictional university. It involves a silent movie once considered lost, but was recently found and restored. There's more to the silent movie than meets the drama professor's eye.

   Sales have been modest, but the book is selling better than anticipated. The only disappointing numbers come from the Kindle Owners Lending Library. Thankfully, the feedback on The Acts of 1 has been positive. No one has posted any reviews yet, but that's okay.

   So what about this upcoming novel? It's in, what I hope is, the last draft. The name of the novel is The Curse. It takes place in 2010 at the same fictional university as in the short story, The Immortals. In fact, there is a reference in one of the other stories from The Acts of 1 to the two main characters in The Curse. Hopefully the novel will be ready by either the end of this month or sometime next month. Right now, all that's left, other than editing, is the get the cover art and the blurb right. Both still need work.

   When it comes time to publish The Curse, I learned to do it in Createspace first and Amazon second. In the publishing process for the paperback copy, there's a link to publish for the Kindle, so the transition will be smooth. I'll post an update when it's done.

   Hope you enjoy my stories.
