Quick completely self-serving update on 'Tell no Tales'

Hey all,

 

I realise it's been over a year since I posted, but I thought I'd pop in and give a quick update on this. The book that I posted piecemeal here over the years has been completed, edited, and put up on Amazon.com. It can be found here:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tell-No-Tales-Lee-Parry-ebook/dp/B00HI3MSPC/ref=sr_1_49?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1388225273&sr=1-49 (Amazon link)

 

http://www.themire.co.uk (Promotional website; fairly simple at the minute, features links to character biographies and the book)

 

Apologies for this new shamelessly self-serving thread, but I believe the old book thread has been archived. If I've broken any rules, Travis, let me know and I'll remedy the situation! Thanks.

Downloading the kindle app for my phone now so that I can buy and read this. I said I would buy it if you ever got it published, and I meant it.

 

Thank you for the acknowledgement too.

 

Are you happy for me to plug it via the site's twitter/FB? and through my own FB? How would you like it described in 140 characters or less?

 

The site looks great too. I really like the style of the writing on it, fits in with the general vibe of the story, and the addition of the magazine(?) covers on the right as well is a nice touch.

 

EDIT: I've just logged in to my Amazon account, and it's telling me "this title is not currently available for purchase."

I'll definitely be purchasing this as well. I read most, if not all (can't remember if I ever finished) of what you posted on the site and absolutely loved it. I look forward to seeing the completed project.

That's strange Brendan. Maybe it's got something to do with the Australian Amazon site? I just checked and it's up.

 

Thanks to both of you guys for your support when I was writing it. I put you in the acknowledgements Brendan, because of course I did! The finished version will differ a bit from the version you both read.

Thanks Ami. I kinda went through self-publishing in two phases, since I looked at it last Christmas, as well. Formatting the book correctly so that the Table of Contents, chapter headings and indentations etc. displayed correctly was a bit tiresome, but only really needs doing once. The process of putting the book up on Amazon was actually pretty painless. I had to fill out some US tax form, add a blurb, choose a royalty option (there are two -- 35% and 70%) and give account details. All fairly straightforward.

 

Brendan -- sorry, I forgot to acknowledge some of your post the first time round. It'd be great if you mentioned the book here. Describing it in 140 characters or less might be tricky... you can just say it's a 'post-apocalyptic steampunk revenge tale'. Cheers!

Thanks Brendan. The book is also available in paperback format now: https://www.createspace.com/4623503. It's a hell of a lot more expensive than a digital copy -- I was forced to set the minimum price at around $20 US.

Well as I said, it's expensive! I'd also appreciate it very much if you could put a review up on Amazon when you're done with the final draft. I'm currently sitting at 0 reviews and I don't think it's doing me any favours!

Yes, I just noticed your review. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Saw the paperback for the first time the other day (a friend ordered it, got hers before I got it!) and it was pretty exciting!
