I wrote a book!

Well - oh my stars & garters! I'm published!

(Five maritime-themed short stories of fantastical fiction set in the deep past, present and far future).

(Kobo ebook for now, coming to Kindle/Amazon soon.)

Sweet!
Self-published electronically?
How did you like the publishing process?
How did you arrive at the price?

Through following some links from that one in post #1, you seem to have participated in the writing of other books, too, and not just fiction.

I'll give it a read. Not a good start with Kobo, created account, six attempts to sign in and a password reset finally got me that far. Entered my payment method, downloaded Kobo reader to phone, but tried to buy the book from the laptop where I started - got oops, try later over and over.

Fortunately it did work, after a bunch more steps via the mobile phone app.

Note that I can be hard to please!

No. There are other Dave Collins authors.
I only saw that after my publication went live, so I've gone back and changed my name to Dave F. Collins.

Sorry, I cant speak to their purchasing system. My account is linked directly to my reader, so for me it's almost one-touch purchasing.

But yeah, if you give it a read I'd love to get your feedback. (And don't sugarcoat it. I can't improve if I don't know what I'm doing wrong.)

So it happened! Congrats! Looking forward to reading it!

EDIT: You really have a way with the maritime stuff. Your stories merit publishing on that fact alone, IMHO. I'm not saying that's your only trick, it just impressed me.
