Hey Folks,
Guess it’s a good thing I got off my fanny yesterday with only three days left in the month (two now). (grin) It’s good to be writing again, playing with my little imaginary friends.
I have other things I have to get done today, but I plan to write as well.
***
Well, I ended up doing those other things instead of writing. I did write a little, but not enough to count.
And I remembered that my previous novel, Keeper of the Promise, was not yet published. Sigh. I actually forgot about it.
So I searched images, created a cover, wrote a promo document, and uploaded the thing to Draft2Digital.
In so doing, I learned something very interesting: D2D now distributes to Amazon!
So from here on out I truly am a one-distributor guy.
I mentioned in the past that D2D hits all the major retailers, and I’ve never had so much as a single sale through the smaller ones to which Smashwords distributes. So I stopped using Smashwords.
If I ever go back to them, probably I’ll distribute only to the Smashwords store itself. I have several novels I could add. Maybe I’ll do that soon.
Now on to other things and (I hope) back to the novel in the morning.
See you then.

See “Google Changes Images Policy” at http://www.thepassivevoice.com/2018/02/google-changes-images-policy/. You can click through from there, but I recommend the Passive Guy’s take because he adds several more resources.
