My first contracted work is now a short story on Amazon
My second published work, Her Accident Angel, has quite a history! I wrote an erotic romance angel/demon paranormal because I wanted a break from vampires. It was fun and action packed, and

Publisher number three was viable for a few years and my book actually made a little money. But then that publisher died the death. I had the file, of course, but epublishers were dying like flies. I suddenly had the rights to about seven books!

OOOOh! Pretty indeed!! I'm with you, get those old gems out where they can sparkle! There's a whole new audience to find in this new self-pub age. For me, hunting down new covers is an added adventure. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Great cover, Melisse. Very savvy to self-pub your backlist. I discovered what you did about the money. As much as I love to write, this is a business. We produce a product and expect to be compensated for it. Yay, you, for finding a way to do that! Best wishes.
I haven't taken the plunge to self publishing yet but I am looking at it.
Shared your post.
Thanks for sharing. I think you need to be persistent to get anywhere in the publishing arena. Good luck with this new release.
Love the cover! And yay to all the benefits of self-publishing! :)
I've been considering self publishing for awhile now. It's nice to hear your story & results!
I agree with you, bringing old stories into the light is the best. It's like revisiting an old friend. I wish you much success for your series.
