Forever and Always – which I co-authored with actress Kelly Carlson of Nip/Tuck – has just been uploaded to Amazon, along with my Author Page. Am I ever proud to have arrived in the realm of Indie Publisher, with the help of our amazing BAIPA network, after years of guiding my editing clients through the process!
Since I was intimidated about the cover (despite the wonderful DYI tools created by Joel Friedlander), member Jeff Brandenburg in SF formatted and tweaked the cover to my specs – a quick, interactive, educational, playful process.
I’ve just applied to Kindle Singles, as David Kudler advised at our last meeting. Here are the guidelines from the Amazon website: “We’re looking for compelling fresh and original ideas expressed at their natural length – high-quality writing, ideas, and well-executed stories in all genres and subjects.”
The story describes the pain of being born into a family that can’t nourish the soul that accompanied one’s body into this life. Any avenue, however weird, is worth exploring to learn that we are loved Forever and Always.
The book is available at Amazon. If you click on the cover image, you can “Look Inside”: Cary receives two birthday presents – a life-size photo of Shania Twain and a past-life regression. The first is joyful for an artist who loves Country Pop. The second leads Cary from high-energy Los Angeles — during the intensity of Proposition 8, California’s political football about legalizing same-sex marriage – on a sleuthing trip to remote Martha’s Vineyard, to discover if the woman whose name and image appeared during the regression really exists.
