Simple Face Lifts for All My Ebooks #barrioblues

On Sunday, I spent most of my morning reformatting the ebook for The Long Walk.  Then, I had to reformat the printed version, which is still being processed.  The content is the same, but after I published my freebies, I realized I had to reformat the other ebooks on Amazon to make them compatible on various ereaders. 

When I first designed my ebooks, I added too many graphics, around the headers and between chapters sections.  I do like some of the dividers, but I am getting rid of all the fancy crap around the titles and scenes or sections.  For Zona 5, I just used asterisks because withe death of my computer went all my graphics. 

I don't know why I didn't bother to reformat the books before. I guess I was focused too much on getting the software for the cover redesigns. 

I also made a decision to put Zona 5 on Amazon for $.99; it should be published later on today. The story is one of my favorites. I am only selling it as an ebook, but you can still get it and set the price on Smashwords.

Next week, I am also working hard to finish copy editing Not Your Abuelita's Folktales.  I am only on page 30.  I have 120 pages to go, but I should be able to focus a few hours a day.  Then, I can plan my release party.  At the rate I'm going, I think the party is happening mid-May.  One thing at a time or else I'm going to overthink the venue. 

Keep getting better, and don't get mad at yourself if things don't go perfectly the first few tries.  #barrioblues
