Your Chance to Celebrate With Me

/ Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 17 Comments

Birthdays, once upon a time, were fun. Not so much anymore. However, looking on the bright side of this birthday, I’m still on the right side of the grass or in this case – Fall leaves.

Considering that little upside (pun intended), I’ve decided to let you celebrate with me. Instead, of receiving gifts, I’m giving you one.

In honor of my #?  Birthday, I’m giving away free copies of my Short Story Collection, Maybe Next Time – Stories of Murder, Justice, & Revenge.

Get your FREE  KINDLE copy of beginning today, November 27,  through December 1, 2017.  Enjoy for yourself or give it as a gift! As always, reviews are appreciated.

I’d love to hear what you thought. Talk to me. I’m all ears and look for me on Facebook at SheilaMGood,  Pinterest,  Bloglovin, Twitter@sheilamgood, Contently, and Instagram. You can follow my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

I feel as if I’ve been in labor for months, but finally, my short story collection is here!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Join the conversation. Talk to me or tell me your story. I’m all ears.

Short Story Collections – A Good Investment?

/ Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 20 Comments

word-cloud-compressorI realize it’s been a few days since my last post, but I’ve been busy working on a short story collection. At present, the collection is out to beta readers which has given me time to toy with cover designs (via Canva) as well as consulting with profession designers.

This is my first foray into self-publishing, and while I’m excited about the prospect, I’ve also discovered the process can be costly, especially when you factor in ISBN’s, Editors, and cover designers (if you choose to go the professional route).

Which brings me to my question – Is it a worthwhile investment?

Short story collections are a huge category on Amazon, ranging from literary, romance, erotica, Christian to crime. You’ll find collections and singles from classic authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald,  Mark Twain, and Ernest Hemingway, to name a few and a large selection of Kindle Singles and Kindle Short Reads listed by reading times (from 15 minutes to 2 hours or more). How cool is that?

In doing my research, prices ranged from free to $9.99 for the Kindle version with other formats running as high as $22.47.

Now, I’m no Fitzgerald or Hemingway and probably won’t break even for a long time to come, but it’s not about the money – it’s about sharing my stories.

I’ll tell you more about my short story collection in the coming weeks but in the meantime, here’s a hint.

“Darkness dwells within even the best of us. In the worst of us, darkness not only dwells but reigns.” ― Dean Koontz  (Tweet This).

What do you think? Short story collections- are they a good investment?

There is nothing quite like reading a good book. I especially love those that pull me in on page one and don’t let go. So, if you’re looking for something to read, check out my latest reviews on the Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson and The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza. You can read my reviews here, or Amazon and GoodReads.
