Now I've gone and done it.
I finally went ahead and published my novelette "
Out of Joint" over at
Smashwords.
It's a weird little tale that runs 8,691 words long. I hesitate to call it horror, but I guess that'd be the best description. The
cover image above is one I took on my cellphone about an hour before I uploaded the whole thing to the Interwebs, and I think it looks pretty good for a first try. I guess we'll see how I feel about it a hundred stories from now.
"Out of Joint" is only available at Smashwords now that "
Dawn" has been
published. And as of September 30th, the story is approved for inclusion in the Smashwords Premium Catalog, meaning that it will automatically be distributed to major online retailers including Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, Borders Australia and Angus & Robertson Australia, Whitcoulls, the Diesel eBook Store, and eBooks Eros.
