Publishing a book that's been published by a Publisher (Say it 3 times fast)

Formatting my book and designing the cover was much easier the last time around, and I got a little savvier. This is a bit different than Sahara simply because this book was already published in the ebook format by a publisher under my pen name Liberty Allure.

But I retained the print publishing rights to the book so now there are marked differences.

1. The book cover is different

2. The book is published under my own name not Liberty Allure

3. The book now has a dedication and acknowlegements.

There was a little weirdness in the formatting though. The margins I used in the last book didn't work in this second book. The template was off somehow. But other than that, the process was much smoother. Still I was so amped up, I couldn't get to sleep until around 5 this morning. Since it is now 8 in the morning, it's obvious I am totally sleep deprived.

I need coffee.

Oh and here is the new book cover:


Now, it might not look it, but those cherries are very suggestive, especially on the back cover where they are reversed and sort of remind me of a pair of er . . . you know. lol.

Considering in this book, we have a "green" male rather than a virgin female, somehow two hanging cherries seemed perfectly appropriate.

Another difference is that with this book, I didn't "clean it up." There are very graphic, detailed sex scenes, such as chapters titled:

Emmet Takes a Dive (His first experience with cunnilingus)

and

Fellatio 101 (I think this title speaks for itself)

but it is completely couched in all the fluffy romance we ladies like. It's more of a feeling of being a fly on the wall than a randy cheering squad when things between them get intimate.

It's dirty, but in a good way.

I might talk a little about Emmet later.

Contraception War Goes On - NYTimes.com

Contraception War Goes On - NYTimes.com

Great Article! Everyone should read this, it's history and it's important!

Watching a perfectly awful movie and LOVING it . . .

I have a thing for B movies. The worse they are, the better I like them. :) I'm watching a real stinker called "The One Warrior," and I just have to share the awfulness with you!





Enjoy . . . or cringe. Whatever. :)

Funniest Quote of Yesterday from my fbf Jodi . . .

All right, my fbf Jodi is an enigma.  She can apparently bake anything, but swears she can't "cook" anything.  I guess baking isn't cooking, per se.  She makes marvelous bread, pies, truffles (chocolate with bacon), cakes, brownies, muffine etc.

AND

She eats like 3 things.  Period.  And I think they come out of a box. XD.  Yes, my friend Jodi is a true enigma, but I love her (and her choco/bacon truffles.)

Anyway, the funniest quote of yesterday came from Jodi upon being informed I bought a muffin pan last week, and haven't used it yet . . .

Jodi:"Come to the dark side, Ruth. We have muffins!"

How could something so benign sound so decadent?  And hilarious?  Jodi, the Darth Vader of Baking. XDD

Skivving off . . . le sigh

I have an assignment to do, but am skivving off.  I do better writing when it's not forced so I'm going to wait until tomorrow.  Beside I don't feel good.

Whine. Moan. Whiiiiine.

I have an upset stomach or something.  I hate being sick.  Not the most interesting post, but at least I posted.  Oh, I read someplace that Mitt Romney made another verbal gaffe concerning poor people.

"I love poor people.  They taste like chicken."

XD  I can soooo imagine him saying that. lol!

Got the proof of my book, it's big, beautiful and was out the door in 5 minutes

I took it right over to my neighbor and asked her to read it.  She's very opinionated so she'll tell me what she really thinks.  You can't give your books to friends or family to read.  It's always going to be "great!"  You need someone who doesn't love you. lol.  Sad, but true.  It'll probably take a week if not two, because she's gone back to work and doesn't have the time she had over the winter.  But I can wait.
