My Published Book and Goodreads Author Status

So, Project Death: Resurrection has been out for a week now. I wish I could say that the excitement of holding a copy of my book was diminishing the tiniest bit so I could actually focus on writing the next book, but so far, it is still amazingly surreal to pick up that 5" by 8" bound collection of 276 pages. I probably stare at them more than I should, but hey, it is something I have been dreaming of doing for the past 13-14 years.

I still really love this cover. I took it at one of my local cemeteries and it is a really cool statue, even without me removing the color from the image. I haven't seen it myself, but at night, her eyes glow, which is a really cool creepy factor. For the Project Death series, I plan on all of the covers being cemetery pictures, from the paperback of Resurrection that is currently available on Amazon and CreateSpace, to the ebook version that I am currently working on since I have to reformat everything.

The most exciting announcement about this series, aside from the fact that the first book is available now, is that I am planning on releasing a special edition of the books, which will be available from Barnes & Noble. The special edition of Resurrection will actually have a bonus short story, as well as the first chapter from Revelation, the second book in the series.

I am hoping to be able to reformat the whole manuscript per Smashwords criteria in the next couple of weeks so I can get the ebook out soon. In the past week I have sold one copy of my book, and I am honestly thinking that is mostly because there is not an ebook version available yet.

It will happen soon, I promise.

Okay, so once again, I will say that the book is available on Amazon for $9.45 and on CreateSpace for $9.95. When I have the ebook available, it will be $3.99, and the Barnes & Noble special edition will most likely be $11.95, depending on what costs are taken out by B&N's PubIt! program.

My dream has come true by having my book published, and I am absolutely thrilled to have sold it to one person already. Now I just have to keep spreading the word and hoping that other people find interest in the books.

Oh, and I almost forgot, I am also on Goodreads now (with an author profile and everything). You can add Project Death: Resurrection to your to-read list there. Thanks for following my blog through all of my book reviews, my rambling about my writing process, and my constant talk on the road to publication. If you think that my book sounds interesting, hey, I would be thrilled if you would buy a copy. If it doesn't hit your fancy but you think a friend might like it, then by all means, spread the word. And if you are a book blogger/reviewer and you would like to read/review my book, shoot me a message via Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads. I do have PDFs I could send you in exchange for an honest review. That would be awesome.
