A to Z stories of Life and Death
So, here’s the book cover, designed by the super-talented Marcel Heijnen at www.chemistryteam.com. The image is by Jake Garn Photography .
The book should be out on all sorts of e-book retail outlets in the next few weeks, and then the great e-book experiment 
I seek to learn the ropes of the fluid publishing market. I’ve been traditionally published, and hope to be considered for publication again. But in the meanwhile, I mean to explore the burgeoning new avenues of publishing.
The idea of the book was suggested by the kind and generous readers of my posts during the A to Z challenge, and to them, and all others who have supported me since, I owe a million thanks.
To those who helped bring about this book, and you know who you are, I cannot hope to ever repay the favor, but please know that I’m immensely grateful.
Hey girl! Congratulations! The book cover looks super awesome. So where do I get a copy? I’m so glad i met you through this A-Z, and look what you’ve accomplished!! So proud! You know I’ll keep cheering you on!
hugs,

Am going to DM you your link and code now 🙂
I’m visiting your blog for first time, and I’m very impressed with your profile and work.
Congratulations on your A to Z e-book. I learned about it through Lee Bird given that I have published my A to Z posts as well.
Looking forward to following your blog.
Welcome to my blog Doris, and thanks for your encouragement. Will look up your A-Z posts…I’m sorry I missed you during A-Z. Look forward to getting to know you and your blog better.
Wow, congrats, how exciting! Please keep sharing what you’re learning along the way. I’ll try to be a more consistent visitor. I do wish I had more hours in a day. 🙂 Blessings!
Thanks Petra, I do need blessings right now 🙂
I think the design is pretty amazingly awesome. I bet the contents within are just as good, too!
I hope you like the contents Amberr 🙂
Well done!
Thanks, Aneeta!
That cover is great! Perfect! I’m SO looking forward to the book. 🙂
Thanks Marian. Love you for encouraging me!
I love the cover! It captures the atmosphere of your A to Z stories really well. Can’t wait to read it! 🙂
Thanks, K.C. Have changed a few stories, but a lot of the April A-Z stories are included.
Can’t wait to see it on the e-book ‘shelves’.
Thanks Juliet, me too! 🙂
Keep me posted on the release date. I’ll be sure to make mention of it on my blog. (As well as download my own “copy,” of course)
Best to you and the book’s success!
Thanks, Bryce. I’ll really need to help to get the word out, because I’m a novice at that. I’m just lucky to have wise and clued-in friends 🙂
The cover looks great!!. Eagerly waiting for the book to arrive for reading!!..Siva
Hi, thanks for stopping by, and your words of encouragement!
Hi Damayanti,
Congratulations. The cover looks great. It is really good that you are experimenting with modern avenues of publishing like ebooks which I think will take over from print one day and hopefully be a boon to authors.
Do share your experiences with us, especially marketing experiences, on your blog.
Also, do let us know when the book is out so we can spread the word here. I trust it will be available on Flipkart.
All the Best
Regards
Vikram
Thanks, Vikram. This will be an e-book, so not sure I can make it available on Flipkart :). I’ll make sure I make PDF versions available for download, however. Have to figure out how!
I’m not a marketing whiz, so that will be hit-and-miss. This book is going to be a huge learning curve for me in terms of e-book publishing….which, as you rightly said, is going to play a part in the future of books.
Congrats!
Waiting for it to come out =)
Thanks, working on it! 🙂
Your humility will keep you working hard, and your talent will ensure the results you seek. This book is proof of that. I am, at once, very proud of you for what you’ve accomplished, and grateful for the ways in which you inspire all of us to accomplish, too.
Charles, I’ve good reasons to be humble. When I read the writing of some of the folks I know, and you, I realise how much further I have to go. I’ve recommended your blog to more people than I can remember.
I’m not sure this book will be an accomplishment, but I’m hoping it will teach me a few things. Writers these days have to hawk their wares, and I suck at that.
Congratulations Damyanti ! The cover is gorgeous ! I look forward to reading your stories …
Thanks, Mish. Will let you know when the book is out!
That’s a cool cover! Let us know when it’s available.
Thanks, Alex. Both the designer and the photographer were amazing. Will be working on getting the book out this month.
The cover looks good. I’m looking forward to the book. You can count on me to help spread the word.
Thanks…I’ll need my friends to teach me marketing, because this e-book is all about learning from my betters! Thanks for the offer to spread the word…I welcome any advice and suggestions you may have for me 🙂
Wow, that looks GREAT Damyanti! BEAUTIFUL cover! I’ll have to visit the link and see what they’re doing over there!
Good luck! I hope you sell MILLIONS of copies! 🙂
Darc, Marcel is a cool designer, photographer, musician. You should check out his work!
First: LOVE the cover!!! I’ve shared all this already. Will have the interview questions to you by this weekend.
YAY!!!
Stuart, you’re awesome, as always 🙂
The great thing about ebooks is that they can instantly reach right around the world minus postage and packing. This, together with no print costs, makes them far cheaper, which is especially good for those with lower incomes. I am considering investing in an IPad to help reading easier so eBooks get the thumbs up for me. (My own books are selling better as eBooks too.) Of course I would not like to see the demise of printed books — they are such a joy to hold, read and place on one’s bookshelves.
Gladys, I want to figure out what e-book publishing is all about, and hence the experiment! WIsh me luck 🙂
I’m sure you know that I’m cheering you on with this. Congratulations on this great achievement and please keep us posted as to how it all goes.

Tossing It Out
Thanks, Lee, you were the first to see the cover besides family :). This is more or less an experiment in e-books, and since I’m not the best of self-promoters, it will need all your help:)
