I have to say that I found publishing my e-book "For A Smile" a VERY steep learning curve! I'm really really not a tekkie and there were a lot of swear words flying around my writing desk, I can tell you! It was extremely rewarding though and exciting to see my book up there on an Amazon page and in the charts. I would encourage anyone to give it a go. This is a revolution guys: writers doing it for themselves!! x<br />www.lydiajones.co.ukLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580243616937466192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-84279346863957787312012-03-22T19:16:10.372+00:002012-03-22T19:16:10.372+00:00Good for you, Caroline :-) x
