Let’s talk currency exchange rates

When self publishing, there are a lot of things that you can affect ( editing, cover art, pricing), but there are also things you cannot affect. And sometimes, what you can affect is hit by factors out of your control. For much of 2014, the dollar was at 7.70 SEK ( there was dips, but […]

Exile is available for Kindle

After a long wait, Exile is finally available for Kindle. Yay! At the moment, the price is 2.99, but it should drop to 1.99 soon. If you have been waiting for Exile to be available, go and buy it. Tell your friends.  Tell…well, not your cats. It is a good story that have become better […]

Kindle versions ahoy

Ever since I published Exile I have wanted to publish Exile on Amazon  but I thought I needed to get either an EIN or an ITIN to do that.  Today I logged in to KDP and poked around. I was delighted to discover that one of the options were “foreign tax number”. This means I […]

Archipelacon!

I am not going to many cons, due to time and money, but since I just booked the hotel room, I can announce that I’ll  be at Archipelacon in Mariehamn, June 25th-28th.   I think it will be a fun con. I don’t expect to be at the programme, but I look forward to visit Mariehamn. […]

Just like with Exile I designed the cover myself. Mainly because if you search for ancient warriors on Depositphotos, there are a […]

First non Kobo sighting

While Exile has been available at Kobo for a while, it hasn’t been available in more places. I have checked Omnilit regularly, to see if Exile was listed. And today I found the listing.  Woot! I know that Omnilit is an itty bitty store( even if I like it), but the important part is that […]

Social Media and other things

I am still on hiatus for another week, but I thought I would poke my head up and talk about Social Media.First, I am on Blog Lovin now. Second, I am on twitter as @mikaela_l, and have been for awhile. I mostly babble about books, and reading and writing.
