She Called It, Wolf by Cyn Bagley kindle edition

For the next two days starting on the 1st, this ebook edition will be FREE. It is a promotion for a new book in the EJ Hunter series about shapeshifters and government researchers in the Nevada desert.

EJ Hunter is honorably discharged after an incident with a traitor, who tried to kill the troops when they come home from Afghanistan. She goes to a small tribal community in Nevada and finds out that the place is run by were-wolves. It doesn't get dangerous until a government researcher burns out a homestead and kidnaps the children for the express purpose of using their DNA to create super soldiers.

Cyn Bagley (that's me) grew up in the high-deserts of Utah and joined the US Navy when she was twenty-seven. She traveled the world, Japan, Panama, and Germany, with her husband. She now lives in Nevada and has a chronic illness called Wegener's Granulomatosis. It is a horrible disease. To keep her mind off the disease she writes.

Sorry for the inconvenience - the sale starts on 1 April and ends on 2 April.

CreateSpace and other avenues for Indie publishers

I have been playing with this grand experiment (indie publishing) for a year now. It has had its ups and downs. Nothing like having a Vasculitis disease, but I do get stressed a bit.

I have known that I would have to start doing POD. A year or two ago, I did some research on how I could publish paperbacks. It was discouraging. I couldn't afford 300 to 500 dollars for set-up fees. I couldn't see spending that amount of money to make a few dollars.

It was after reading Dean Wesley Smith's musings about working as an indie publisher/writer and after I read that 80 percent of the reading population still like to turn pages that I realized (ding, ding) that I needed to get my current books into a physical form.

Now I had already been researching POD (print on demand), but someone in my little writing circles suggested CreateSpace. Also, when I asked around, the consensus is that if I was going to publish a fair amount of books, I needed a good program such as Indesign for book interiors and PhotoShop for book covers by Adobe.

My next problem was that I was using a computer that was six years old. I couldn't get either of these programs to run on my computer. It was too old. So I did some shopping for a nice desktop. I know that the general population is gaga over tablets, but I don't find them comfortable for the amount of typing that I have to do. Plus I have oily fingers which don't do well with any type of touch screen. I spend more time cleaning my hands and touch screen than doing my preferred task, which is writing.

I didn't buy one of those cheap models (desktops) either. So now I am in a bit of mola for this venture. I don't regret it. So far in less than one week, I have five of my titles up on CreateSpace. I am waiting for the physical proof and Viola! I will have five paperbacks on Amazon and other places in less than two weeks.

Ain't this writing revolution grand.

Harlan Ellison -- Pay the Writer

She Called It, Wolf

EJ Hunter comes home from Afghanistan when her unit is slaughtered by a man in cammies with an M16. They were sitting ducks. In a rage, she changes into a wolf and rips his throat out. The Army decides to give EJ an honorable discharge and send her home.

At home in Felony Flats, Nevada, her uncle, a Vietnam War Vet, dies leaving her a small piece of land, a silver bullet trailer, and a gold mine. She meets Sheriff Adam, who is also the alpha of the were-wolf pack.

There is a government researcher who is researching were-wolf DNA in hopes of making super soldiers, kidnapped children, and a were-cat. Also, EJ discovers that she is different from the pack. She can shift into other forms besides the wolf.

The story has elements of the West, paranormal, and mystery. It is the first of several stories about a were-wolf clan who is trying to survive in the Nevada desert.

Thanks to my beta readers: Steve Evans and Stan Grimes. Steve pointed out that I really like to use "and" and "but" way too often. Plus Steve,  a Chindi is a Navajo hungry ghost. They are quite scary and are comparable to Japanese ghosts.

You can find this ebook on Amazon Kindle.
