All ebook formats supported

I've been hearing about smashwords and I intended to go there to look around in the last few weeks, but I was busy getting my book ready for the kindle and paperback. I finally did it... It was easy as pie to upload and they assigned an ISBN number for free. My book, The Killer's Co-op, is now in ALL eReader and eBook device formats, for a limited time set at only $0.99

If you are wondering what The Killer's Co-op is about... Bob is a horse riding and horse training detective...
A murder staged as a railroad accident soon leads Acting Sheriff Robert Schwimer to the cold-case shotgun death of a sociopath teenager and a series of murders, and kidnappings. With the current sheriff’s corruption scandal; a State Coroner fighting the County Medical Examiner. Bob is racing across the Massachusetts South Shore to neutralize the killers before they neutralize him.

Good reading!

Not Stuck any longer.

Well, Julie is well on her way to fighting zombies and finding herself again. Moving towards a grand ending! You'll be surprised.

So I need to post...

Writers write... So I'll write...
I'm a little stuck on the new zombie book. Thought up a good title and main charcter name, plays into a nickname that she (the protagonist) hates. I'm writing... This is writing... Okay, back to writing my novel. Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to market a book and get people to buy it? I'm starting to understand.

Why do I have 123 views of this page and zero views on almost all my other longer and more interesting blog posts? Okay then. I won't argue with success! I'll just use this moment to advertise that my zombie book is on amazon and kindle at:

The Terror, a new book idea, 30% written, four days old

Okay, so Sully from Sullyland is on temporary vacation. The murders, the tailing of suspects, evidence collection will all have to wait. I've got a great idea for a new novel that I'm provisionally calling The Terror, for lack of any good ideas for a title. It's for young adults or adults who feel young. I'm in the second category incase you were wondering. It has Action, Romance, Drama, Clash of Personalities, and Zombies. I've written over 18,000 words in four days and my target is 60,000 to 70,000 words - a short novel. My books tend to grow as I write them. (Getting off that first page is the hardest thing! Then it becomes easier.) So 18,000 words means I'm about 30% done. I know I probably cannot keep up that writing pace. I actually wrote 10,000 words in the first 24 hours. Now, I'm averaging a bit less than that. I hope you like 'The Terror' when it comes out. Keep an eye on http://www.richardhowesbooks.com/ for excerpts.

I've decided that this book will be an ebook for kindle, nook, ibooks, and lulu, plus maybe a few others. If it does well there I will consider putting it as POD, such as on createspace.com along side The Killer's Co-op. On THAT note, I've got to get Killer's Co-op onto lulu, and nook, and ibooks.

Hope you are all well.

Richard

String of Pearls and Get Smart

Okay, this is gonna be eclectic and "totally random" but listen to it for yourself...

Did anyone ever notice that the Get Smart theme music sounds exactly like the Glenn Miller Orchestra playing "String of Pearls" at time stamp 1:12 to 1:18?

Let's see what youtube has to say...
Go to String of Pearls time stamp 1:15

And let's compare that to Get Smart Time stamp 0:08
