I just received my rights back to The Protector and Sleeping With The Agent. I'd love to have the time to format them to sell them as edownloads at Smashwords, which, from my research, makes ebooks readable on all e-reading devices, including the Kindle, Sony, and Android. Also, with the right formatting and following of instructions, these titles would also be available at mainstream sites, such as Barnes and Noble (and, very soon, Amazon too, they claimed).
It's not just the formatting part. I'll need new covers (they belong to the old publisher) and new blurbs. I want to change the title of Sleeping With The Agent, which I'd been against since the beginning. I suppose I could also do the same for the novella, The Game, and expand on it too since I could make it longer! And oh, Big Bad Wolf, too, since I wouldn't have to figure out Kindle's CSS instructions all by myself.
My dream Techie Assistant would do all this for me for a reasonable part-time fee ;-). Wouldn't that be nice?
Yes, it's a brave new world out there for authors. Maybe I'll call it Steamy-Print Punk Era.
