In the Company of Elves: What you Need to Know

As the author of, In the Company of Elves, I highly enjoyed writing this fantasy story. It is one of my full-length novels, other than the Chandra’s Quest trilogy books. Even though Chandra’s Quest was my first book, I was inspired to write, In the Company of Elves by watching movies like Legend, Willow, Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland to name a few. I published In the Company of Elves in 2009 but started writing the story back in 2004/2005. Yes, I came up with the title for this book many years ago. The first copy of the book was published through Instant Publishers, a subsidiary company. It only had 120 pages. 

Then I decided to revise the book, so I re-wrote it and added more chapters to it. For those who have downloaded my book and enjoyed it, Thank you. If you have a paperback copy, thank you for purchasing it. I recently donated 1 copy to one of those Little Library Boxes, in Menifee Ca. If you read it as a Summer read, please be sure to leave a review on Amazon or on my Facebook page or Instagram. Thank you. 

NOTE: In July, I will be publishing The Other Side of Things Part 2. It is a non fiction book, with issues on Health, Social relations, Romance and Fashion.Visit my Facebook page and my Website for more info.

Chandra's Quest New Cover

Since CreateSpace and Kindle merged many authors made changes to some of their books in order to keep them up to date. I did not want to change the cover for Chandra's Quest (book 1) but basically I had no choice. So this is what it looks like now:

Not much different than this image (2017)

One exception is that the first image shows more of the picture, including background. I am a little miffed about this but it's the best I can do for now and I don't think I will be changing it in the future. I may have to change the book cover for Chandra's Quest book 2: Twisted Embers as well.

*There's an old saying: "Never judge a book by it's cover."

That much is true. Look at the book cover for Saints and Sinners: Affairs of the Heart

Yes, it's the same design, which most authors are picking this design only because it's easier to place their own image on the book cover. The other designs are not as agreeable on how the author wants the book to be presented visually. Some book covers can be simple, plain, not much of a pop, but those are probably the ones that readers will remember because the story is good, by their standards.

Anyways, about that whole, "Don't judge a book by it's cover," well, Saints and Sinners may have a nude woman on the cover but the content is far from explicit. I categorized it under relationships and romance, for 18 and older, however even a 16 year old can read it. 

Some people may judge this book strictly by it's cover and assume that there is explicit sexual content in it, but it's far from it. Remember--don't judge a book by it's cover. This is a perfect example. 

In conclusion, I will be making changes to Chandra's Quest Book 2 cover. I probably will use the same design, it is quite popular and the only design I can use for my books.

CreateSpace and Kindle Merged

Most recently, CreateSpace and Kindle merged, leaving some Indie/self-published authors having to make changes on their kindle books. 

I don't know about the rest of the authors, but on my part, I had to create two of my books as new paperbacks, for Kindle. I  changed the book cover image and on one book, I decided to change one or two things within the manuscript, so for those who have uploaded Saints and Sinners: Affairs of the Heart, please do upload the book again or buy the paperback. The image is awesome, and it does say a lot about the story in general.

NOTE: the eBook version of Chandra's Quest Book 2: Twisted Embers looks like the picture below:

I believe that any changes that I've made to any of my books, won't show up on Amazon's display list for a week or two. 

Saints and Sinners

(Facebook would not let me boost Saints and Sinners because of the cover image. Personally I've seen worst. Just saying. Since Saints and Sinners and The Other Side of Things are novelettes, boosting them, really doesn't matter but it's my full length novels that matter, so I will continue to boost them)
