The actual launch of Closed Circle is getting close enough I’m going to spend time this evening actually assembling several e-books, notably Faery in Shadow<\/em> and The Writing Life: A Writer’s Journal vol 1-3<\/em>. Those will be the first out. Rusalka is ready, but Jane is not ready to do the cover yet. She’s prepping her own books and doing her own covers. I’ll let her tell you about those.<\/p>\n

What I have to do is: 1. assemble the book in mobi format. 2. assemble the book in its entirity except the cover and get it into Calibre (ePub). 3…and here’s where inventiveness fails me: you guys that want rtf, how do I get the cover and internal artwork, maps, whatever, into that format? I don’t see it.<\/p>\n

Then 4) I have to copyright all of them, a little adventure with the US Copyright office involving fees and applications and the transfer of files.<\/p>\n

Hmmn. Maybe instead of trying to do this in the evening when I’m already tired, Jane and I need to go through this process while I have a brain, in the daytime.<\/p>\n

At any rate, we are getting that close. There’s a whole lot left to do: I have to compose the text on the site. I have to upload all the downloads and be sure they work with the payment mechanism. So does Jane. So does Lynn. Lynn’s got more than we do that she has to do, because she’s running the technical end, plus she’s doing a new feature of her own, on which she will raise the curtain at the appropriate time. I left all my files in pieces, because I still have to insert the copyright info and other things and knit everything together. Mobi wants it in pieces, Calibre wants it in two pieces only, and who knows what I’ll need to do with the rtf. Ideas are welcome. We hope to have it glitch-free by the time we fling the doors open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
