I’ll be honest, I haven’t used these templates yet, but from looking over the website they look like a great idea.

I know many authors I talk to about self-publishing say they haven’t done it because the formatting scares them off. While that isn’t an issue for me, I do understand. It takes time and patience to get through the different steps for all the different formats required. While I do format my own books at the present time, I may look into Book Design Templates (http://www.bookdesigntemplates.com/) in the near future so I can spend more time writing and less playing with the formatting issue.

Plus, if you are participating in NANOWRIMO you can get a discount on the templates.

So, are these the answer to an Indie writer’s prayer? I don’t know, only time will tell. I do know it can’t hurt to check them out and see if they will hep you take that step into Indie Publishing.

Happy writing!

The Butterfly Connection

Yes, November 12th is the official release day for the next book in the Colorado Skies Series.

The Butterfly Connection is primed and ready to flutter into your heart and mind. The twists and turns promise to make for an interesting ride.

In conjunction with the release, we will be running a challenge to break the code you see on the butterfly’s wings. The prize will be an autographed copy of the paperback of the book to the first person to crack the code. Don’t be disappointed if you aren’t the first. There will be other prizes throughout the first two weeks of sales. Be warned, it isn’t just some random thing like my name. You will need to read the book to figure out the information in the code. I will post clues throughout the first week of the release. Check the blog daily for new clues.

Happy deciphering!
