I wrote a short story for K one day (well, over two nights), put it on my Kindle and read it to her. Then I procrastinated for a couple of months about adding pictures, but finally decided that any pictures are better than none, and just got on with it.
She's enjoyed it and asks for it again from time to time, so it's done its job.
Since this is the age of THE INTERNET, I thought why not publish it. Last night I took the plunge and published it through Kindle Direct Publishing.
Even though the KDP dashboard says it's still publishing, it turned up on the Kindle Store earlier today: The Story of Ida Know eBook. It's a bit scary to put my own name into the Amazon eBook search box and find something I made within the first 10 results - it feels rather like I have stuck my neck out a lot.
As of this moment I've sold 1 whole unit that wasn't delivered to my own house. If I can get all the way to 24, I can say "dozens of people have read my book".
If you've got a child aged somewhere between 4 and 8, they might like it, so why not help me get to dizzy double dozen heights and stump up the 86p for my book. (I get something like 26p of that). Even if you have no Kindle, there's a reader app for iPad, iPhone / iPod Touch, Android, and PC.
Update: Now also selling over here on Lulu.com in paperback format.
