Fortunately, I have both arty and entertainmenty leanings, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. <br /><br />So far, I've not been setting the world on fire but it's early days. I've just added a novel to my list of available Kindle books - the mighty <i>Fatal Inheritance</i> - and I'm in the planning stages of my next novel, which is my first story written specifically for Kindle.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-43208405568234623722011-12-10T14:57:46.214+00:002011-12-10T14:57:46.214+00:00I hope you have better luck with the Kindle experi...I hope you have better luck with the Kindle experience than what I've been having, Steve. I made available my 2004 chapbook of tanka and haiku, October Twilight, a few months ago; I don't think anyone has noticed its presence as of yet. <br /><br />Does your stories have boy-wizards? Vampires who lust after pubescent girls in thong knickers? If so, then your work may have a fighting chance in the electronic universe. If one can capture that prize audience of young women aged 18 to 28 who still think like 10-year olds, then one may well be in the money. <br /><br />I think building a reputation with the aforementioned prize audience by churning out a few commercial titles may be the way to go. From there, the readers may take an interest in one's other, more serious work.<br /><br />Whatever the case, I have two more old haiku chapbooks of mine to make available, as well as a collection of dark semiautobiographical short stories, and a book of essays on Laird Koenig's old novel/film, <i>The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane</i>. I'm probably wasting my time and energy.<br /><br />If you any success, please share notes.R. W. Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660716315419914578noreply@blogger.com
