Hi everyone, Today I'm happy to have my friend and fellow author Lyn Cote on my blog as a guest. Lyn is a wonderful author and I'm proud to have her here to promote the rerelease of her “Northern Intrigue” series.
Why I decided to go digital with my OOP “Northern Intrigue” series
OOP means Out of Print. That means a publisher is not going to print any new copies of a book. When an author signs a contract with a publisher, the author only licenses the publisher to produce the book for a set period of years. When Tyndale House Publishers gave me back the rights to the books in this series and it went OOP, I didn't think too much about this–until Kindle and then the Nook took off.
Then last year, I thought why not format these books digitally and then self-publish them? At first I thought I would just learn how to format the books for the Kindle and Nook and that's all I'd have to do to them. However, in the intervening years since this series debuted, I wrote over thirty more books. When I looked over the pages of the original books, I realized that I like how I write now better. PLUS technology (ie cell phones, etc) has changed so much that these books needed sprucing up. Besides when an author writes a story, it feels like her child. And I want my children to look their best as I send them out into the world.
So I worked my way through each book, revising and updating. Time-consuming, challenging, but very satisfying work. So here are my babies–all spruced up and ready for readers!
I've priced Winter's Secret at only 2.99 and the upcoming Autumn's Shadow and Summer's End will be for a limited time only available for free and then at 2.99 also. If you don't have an ereader, you can go to the page of the book you want on Amazon and download free software and read the books on your computer. Or you can join the digital wave and buy a Kindle or Nook or Ipad. Your choice. 🙂 ~~Lyn Cote
