I has wrote a book

post #1 of 6

Well, strictly speaking, the Skinny Man wrote it on account of him having opposable thumbs and thus the ability to type.

Still, it is my book, about me - a tale of drama, suspense and thrown-up-in slippers. It is available from Amazon for the Kindle-thingy (or Kindle-thingy apps for iPhone, iPad and PC). It is called "The Secret World Of Fluffy Ratbag" and if you read it, I would be really pleased if you would leave feedback.

I might even let the Skinny Man write another for me.

Once he's sorted out my supper....

Hi Fluffy congrats!

 

 

I am interested in publishing non fiction as well. Could you tell me how you got started?

Hi Nebula

 

In my case I pestered a Skinny Man until he finally got his lazy backside into gear and started typing up the pearls of wisdom which I have been gracious enough to impart. That bit done I left the rest to him on account of my needing to go and have a lie down and a bit of a lick. From what I can work out, he tried a couple of author-community type pages to get feedback on his efforts and made a few changes to sort out his useless spelling. He then did a Gurgle search on Kindle self-publishing and went from there, ending up with a book what is now on Amazon and can be downloaded for the Kindle (or iPad, etc) and is a guaranteed rivetting read though I says it as shouldn't. A story of passion, struggle and raw emotion laid bare upon the page.

 

Or something like that. Honestly, he can be such a drama queen....

 

Whatever. People seem to like it and quite a few have even been kind enough to buy it, although yours truly has yet to see any of the proceeds in the form of premium-brand cat food as I still seem to be getting the same old kack plopped into my bowl twice a day. I tell you, if I don't start seeing premium meaty chunks in jelly with sleek coat and healthy teeth guaranteed very soon, there's a Skinny Man can write his own stories and I'll start looking for an agent.....

 

In addition to the above, he tells me that he also sent a few of my pieces to local newspapers and got them published. He reckons it's because they're always short of stuff to print and will even give over space to the demented ramblings of a psychotic cat. Personally, I reckon they were lucky to be given the chance and that said Skinny Man is lucky to have any fingers left if he's going to take that sort of an attitude.

 

Hope that helps and good luck with whatever you do!

 

Your Friend

 

Fluffy Ratbag

Nebula, if you want to publish a book, the easiest place to go is createspace, its a division of Amazon. I published a book with them and I'm working on book 2. Its pretty easy to get started if you need any help just ask. I'd be happy to help.

I would love some information.  Would it be okay if I send you a PM?
