Well, I finally bit the proverbial bullet and self published.

Tales From Under the Bridge is available at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/81404


Tales From Under the Bridge, all you ever wanted to know about trolls, and a few things you probably didn't. Life and death, myth and legend, magic and mayhem, all rolled up into six fabulous stories that lift the lid off the dark world of these wonderful, horrible creatures. With a supporting cast of drunken gnomes and angry fairies, Tales From Under the Bridge drags trolls out of the darkness, kicking, fighting, biting, drinking, belching and farting, into the light of day. Just don't expect them to be happy about it.

Join these marvellous monsters as they practice their own, well, different, flavour of magic in a school for troll wizards. Observe them prepare for parenthood, question their morals and fight for their bridges. Experience their seasonal festivals and intrude upon their mating habits. Prepare to witness secrets never before revealed.

Thanks. I'm sat here having kittens and imagining typos and bad formatting all over the place. Thankfully Smashwords give you alot of different formats to check and and, so far, I've not actually found anything wrong.

I was mostly amazed, and pretty terrified if I'm honest, at how easy and fast it all was

Congratulations, pdblake.

So many Hatrackers are publishing these days. I'm really getting annoyed at myself for not working on my own stories more.

Thanks If they do well, they might even come back.

Can someone check out the kindle page for me? I've gone and published it at Amazon, but due to the way they detect where you're from, I get a page that tells me to bugger off back to the UK and buy it Reckon's there's no pricing available.

http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Under-Bridge-ebook/dp/B005HF7I80/ref=sr_1_1?i e=UTF8&qid=1313484808&sr=8-1

They really don't make it easy there. No wonder people go to Smashwords first. There's no stats on page views, sample downloads, no real help and a flat out refusal to help non-US writers with ITINs.


ETA: Just looked at it from work and it seems fine, though the price is higher than I set it, should be $2.99 (for you guys only - you can get a mobi version over at Smashwords for less than Amazon). Obviously no cookies on this machine.

Ah, go ahead and have a look anyway
