E-Publishing Process Back to Blog

Update:  BOUND BY BLOOD is now available for the Kindle–properly formatted, with some fun bonus features.  As of 4/9/11, the updated copy of BOUND BY BLOOD is in the Amazon system and ready for download.


I’m learning a lot through this e-book publishing process.   🙂 BOUND BY BLOOD is now available on Smashwords & on the Nook.  The indent  formatting was stripped out of the Kindle version (see, said I was learning a lot!), so I am re-uploading that file.  Once the correct file is available on Kindle (we actually snazzed it up and added extra features), I will let you know with an official release notification. But, if you are one of the people who already bought the story from Amazon  on Wednesday, April 6 or Thursday, April 7  (the book isn’t listed as being “Live” but I’ve received reports of sales), then email me at cynthia@cynthiaeden.com, and I will be sure to give you the correct version (with indentions).

I’m logging all of my work as I go for this publication. I want to be able to share what I’ve learned with other writers–good tips and the pitfalls to avoid.  I think e-publishing is such an amazing development for writers and readers.  I know I can’t seem to go anywhere without my Kindle these days! What was carpool like before I had it?

    Just thought I would let you know that I just finished this surprise project on WOW! Keep writing will you!? I am going to pass title this on to my book club – we like to read books by authors we like published by the authors themselves!

    Still not up on Kobo yet but I keep checking.

      Hi, Diane! It’s slated to be added to Kobo–it just has to process through the files first. As soon as I get notice that it has been cleared for them, I will be sure to let you know. Have a good weekend!

    Cindy, I got halfway through it last night. I’m hoping to read the other half tonight.

    Did you use the format web page, filtered? That’s how I save it for Kindle. I know there’s a more difficult way, but I like easy. lol

    • Cynthia Eden says:

      Oh, Edie, we went HTML wild on it the second time. Just had a big old HTML party. I also wanted to experiment with the table of contents, and that’s added now, too.
