Good morning! My second book, SUGAR RUSH, was just released by Decadent. Pop over to my main site to see how much I've learned since writing Star Captains' Daughter! kimberan.com
I feel really bad about all the stupid little mistakes and am beginning a new edit. Nothing about the story will change. I'll simple by fixing things, like all the 'woulds' I accidentally deleted.
Sure wish I could afford professional editing. (((sigh)))
My sincere apologizes for stupid little mistakes in this book. I've been posting it to a blog and found I accidentally deleted the word 'would' from most of the novel, for example. I shall now hang my head in shame.
Okay, the 'making pretty' edits are complete, although a manuscript never seems to be completely perfect. And, of course, I can't afford professional editing.
Thanks to everyone who has and hopefully will download!

What's the URL for the cover KimberAn ? Here are my recommendations on the formatting: - we auto generate a title screen for you, there's no need to add another one - avoid using multiple blank lines like on the title screen: for small devices (smartphones for example) this will generate several empty pages - if your chapter have names, replace "New chapter" with the name (just click on New Chapter while editing). Otherwise, just leave it blank (click on New Chapter and remove the text) - there seems… (more)

- there seems to be some broken lines in your text, with line breaks where they should be none (for example in the first chapter: She tapped -line break- her chin...)
- I read something about indenting on Mobileread from your part: do not manually indent paragraphs, they're auto indented and you should leave this choice to the user. You can add non-breaking spaces for things like poems, where it's part of the structure of the text, but otherwise, avoid them.

See the little picture next to my name, Kimber An? That's the cover art. For some reason, it won't post to the cover.
The picture was cropped from 'Cupid & Psyche' by Francois Gerard and is a Public Domaine image.

I just posted this novel. I still have 'making pretty' editing to do.
