Is Behind Every Piece that is written and published:
A new year a new me…
So to speak.
I was
wondering where my Apple I Book sales had gone, and now I know. Apple has decided that they will no longer
publish digital books where the author uses a Pen-Name that is on
initials. (i.e. D. D.). Somewhere along the way, I missed that
announcement, but now that I know about it, it quickly became decision time.
Do I keep my Pen-Name as it is and walk away from the Apple
I-book and I-pad users portion of the market. (Which, needless to say, is not a
small portion of the market for digital media market.) To make that change is not a small project or
an easy fix. In fact it requires that
every where that it mentions D. D. as the author in every book that I have
published has to be changed. New or revised covers, revised title and copy
write pages for each book, and revised Bio’s, About the Author, and Coming Soon
pages within in each manuscript. Plus
changes to Author Pages for publishers and or distributors that I use, as well
and account changes.
Well the short answer to the long question is “YES” D. D. is
becoming D. D. Story as I write this. I
am hard at work making the changes, and soon you should see my books under the
name of D. D. Story, and since I have the opportunity, some are also getting a
fresh new look as well. It is sort of
exciting, as it is almost like I am getting to re-launch my career as an author.
I will endeavor to keep all of my readers as informed as
possible as books are published under my new pen-name. Keep watching my web-site http://www.suzy-q-stories.net as well
as my blog http://www.ddsbooksblog.blogspot.com
for both my D. D. Story Page Blog, or my Suzy Q. Stories Publishing Blog. I
also will be setting up a new Google page for D. D. Story, which of course will
link to my existing D. D. pages.
To Date the following books have been changed on Kindle, Smashwords, and Google Play:
The Suzy & Katie Series
First Blush - Growing Love - Surprises - Suzy & Katie, Life Goes On - A Piece of Heaven
Five Crazy Days In May
Tales of Vanity Bench
Roommates and Lovers - Lawyers & Lovers
A Nancy Story - Sometime's Dreams Do Come True
My next project is to make the changes to the Suzy Q. Stories Series, followed by my poetry books, and then the Collector's editions.
