8: Eight-word Poems: Now in the marketplace!
The print edition of 8: Eight-word Poems is now officially available! I do not have any copies myself yet, but the book is available for ordering on Amazon and Barnes & Noble—and Barnes & Noble is still discounting it at $13.86. The links appear below…
8: Eight-word Poems Update
Files for the e-book editions have been uploaded to Smashwords and Kindle Direct Publishing for review. I have also uploaded a slightly revised interior to IngramSpark, since I found a numbering error as I was formatting the e-book documents—just the excuse I needed to fix the remaining seven-word poem (which is now eight), and make a word substitution to another poem (so it would make more sense).
I have set up the e-book editions to become available on 27 October from Smashwords and several Amazon sites (US, UK, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Australia); they should be available for pre-ordering next week.
The pre-order links and preliminary info from the last update are repeated below.

E-book adventures, February 2017, Part 2
Update: After a brief exchange with the very helpful Kevin (also a poet) from Smashwords, I exercised the ‘nuclear option’—i.e., I saved my Word document as a plain text file, then re-applied all the formatting from scratch. It worked, so everything now looks the way it should. (As a precaution, I re-saved and uploaded the updated document to Amazon as well, so that the files will be consistent with each other.)
On the title thing, I chose to capitalize the only the first word. My updated file is now being reviewed, so I should know soon whether or not I have to do anything else.
Whee!

I am taking advantage of the snow day, and the current break in my copy-editing work, to generate and upload the e-book editions of …but for the thoughts running through my mind. It is turning out to be a pain… Continue reading

My new collection of poetry, …but for the thoughts running through my mind, is now available. I haven’t yet created a page for it on my website (that is on my to-do list for this week), but it can be purchased from CreateSpace and Amazon.
