I’M PUBLISHED!! (almost)

90 Comments

And now I’m at a loss for words.

It’s been an interesting time to get to this point, and someday I’ll write about it. For now, I’d like to introduce you to my amazing cover, designed by the even more amazing and lovely Belinda Borradaile, to whom I’d like to express my profound thanks. You can find Belinda’s stunning artwork and her amazing writing at https://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/

 

Book Cover For Linda G HIll

All Good Stories is a romance novelette that was begun as a project for the A-Z April Challenge in 2014. It was originally written entirely off the cuff and posted on my fiction blog unedited.

As best friends, Xavier and Jupiter have always been supportive of each others’ romantic relationships. But when Jupiter meets Bob online, Xavier can’t help but feel he needs to come to her rescue. There’s just something about Bob. In the process of preventing Bob from wooing Jupiter away, Xavier realizes he’s been in love with her all along. Can he keep her safe and win her heart? And will he ever get to read her manuscript?

Join Xavier, Jupiter, and a quirky cast of characters in this fun romantic comedy novelette with a twist you won’t see coming.

A few kind comments from my beta readers. With sincere appreciation:

“You got a couple of laughs out of me, and seriously, I do not laugh when I’m reading.” ~ Maggie Wilson, Writer/Blogger

“A lot of fun!” ~ Bee Halton, Blogger/Poetess

“A fun, easy read. It had me chuckling many times.” ~ Jeanne Owens, author of Kismet and Tell, and Chronicles of Riss.

Since All Good Stories is less than 50 pages in length, I’ve decided not to print a physical copy. The release date is Wednesday, August 10, 2016. You can pre-order your eBook for just 99¢ at Amazon worldwide for automatic delivery to your device on that day. Please find it here:

USA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JQWMQAE

Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01JQWMQAE

UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JQWMQAE

All Good Stories will be available on Kobo by its release date!

  5. Congrats Linda! Wishing you much success. And just an FYI, you may want to think about a physical book. Even though short, it just won’t have anything on the spine. There’s nothing like holding your newborn book. 🙂

    It’s such a wonderful opportunity and I’m really amazed you have managed to finish. I struggled – stopped at one hundred pages, it’s so difficult to push through, so I really admire that.
    All the best for you – your novel – and your future!

    • And an honour to work with you too, my friend. Hehe. One day I’ll go back and count how many emails started with “…you’re going to kill me, but…”
      😀 It was all worth it in the end though, right? 😀

      • …and I never did. Good thing we live a far ey? 😛
        Yes, it was – believe it or not..I ACTUALLY enjoy it! 🙂
        Collaborations are always interesting. To try also to replicate someones mental vision and sense of feeling for what they want, on a ‘canvas’, whilst crossing all the design t’s etc, is a passion my dear. You know, telling a story but not telling a story WITHOUT words! It pleases me to know, you feel, I did it the justice your writing deserves. 😀

    The extremely wonderful Linda G Hill is about to publish her first work and I can’t think of anyone who has been more instrumental in nudging me in the direction of writing fiction than Linda, so I’m glad to present her introductory post here.
