The Word Cloud

Guten Abend Cloudsters,

The Eye of Sayf-Udeen is my second novel, gently crafted with the help of WW and Debi Alper (wonderful) and is a kind-of Da Vinci Code story set in Portugal. Unlike DVC, the chapters are all more than two pages long and ,also unlike DVC, it hasn't been picked up by an agent yet, but the signs are good. Harry did a free read and wan't sick and I'm waiting to hear from a real live agent. I wait...and I wait.......

Whilst waiting, I published it on Lulu (see http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/the-eye-of-sayf-udeen/6298920) but again, I find Lulu prices too high; 20 euros for a 10 euro book. Nothing I can do about it guv. As I said in the Miracle thread, the Lulu experience is good but you have to be very careful with proof-reading, etc. They used to offer live help but that has gone, unfortunately. If you have a problem you send an email and wait.....and wait. I did the cover artwork myself but they have plenty of new templates to choose from. Why publish? Well, it's so much nicer to have a real book-shaped, book-sized book in your hands!

Regards
Roger

As you know, Roger, I strongly feel this book is publishable and is a lot better than many in the genre.

One day, I hope to see you post here with news of a traditional deal. I'm convinced you'll get there.

Just to wish you the best of luck. Let us know how you get on.
