This morning I was at Wade's house at 9:30 and together over the next three hours we finished putting Black Coffee Fiction, our collection of fourteen of our best short stories, into e-book format on Amazon.com. Now our fans can get the book on their Kindles.
When I say "we", it was mostly Wade who did the work, navigating through all the instructions and forms until we had a book.
I helped with the dedication, our autobiographies, and decisions about how the book should be presented on Amazon.com. Mostly, I waited for that magic moment when Wade clicked on "enter" and our book was born. At that moment, I wanted we shouted "whoopeeeee!" and shook hands.
Then it was waiting time, because it takes up to twelve hours before anyone could buy the book. At 8:00 this evening, I could wait no more and bought our own book just to see if it was ready and it was. I already had the book but what's $2.99 to an author who will get some of that money back in royalties.
So now it is there, and any of my readers can order it by clicking here.

In another couple of weeks we plan on putting out a paperback edition but we agreed to take a week's vacation so that we can write our next short stories. We are already thinking of the Volume 2.
