I read books anywhere from 300 to 600 to even 900 or more.
Once I get into a book, I never want it to end.
Me, too. It becomes a problem when the books in question are the ones I am writing, though,
@Malik & A.E. Lowan: product descriptions are a bitch. I just spent an hour cleaning one up, that I had already outsourced. Someday, I hope to find someone who can do the entirety of it!
(Here's part of mine)
The Countess Of Shimmering Bay:
A sorceress has cursed him.
A countess of profound beauty with a rare ability is his single hope.
To avoid becoming a monstrosity, Duke Filip Durand of Ilesia devises a plan to draw near the countess and learn her mystical secrets. There is only one small problem—he never intended to fall in love. Now she knows the truth about his affliction and after all they’ve endured together, it may be too late for him.
Some suitors have desired her riches.
Others have coveted her power.
Therefore, Countess Ida Almassy of Kalmar protects her heart behind a veritable wall of ice. Even from the charming duke visiting her castle, with whom she shares an inexplicable chemistry. His proposition of marriage promises to align their lands against a menacing darkness that threatens their future and the welfare of their people. However, she soon discovers the man she loves harbors a deadly secret—one leading to heartache and the destruction of the magic sustaining her life.
Together they must band against the evil that plagues their homeland and promises to destroy their most valued asset: each other.
(And of course, I had to add in a sex warning, since some readers would probably like to know what lies between the covers heh)
Ronald T.: Thank you kindly. My main 'problem' is that I have a lot of background information that is really interesting but not really related to the story.
I just received the first formatted version of my second novel, A DIRE ONUS, last evening. And now my work begins again as I go over everything with a fine-tooth comb.
If all goes well, and there are only a few typos and formatting corrections to be made, I will be able to e-publish the second volume of “The Blood-Rune Saga” series in the next week or so. You can watch for it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all the Smashwords sites.
After all the endless hours and hard work, I must admit, this is always an exciting time.
As usual, my best wishes to all of you.
I'm hoping to publish my first book in the coming months. I'll see what happens, though.
