After waiting for my contract with the publisher to run its course so I could regain publishing rights to The Boy From Buzby Beach, and after many hours of formatting, revising, and editing, and after tweaking the cover art to be similar to but, IMHO, better than before, the paperback version (and the new Kindle version) of The Boy From Buzby Beach is finally available on Amazon.
It is a good feeling knowing all 5 of my currently published books are available in both formats now.
My next publishing goal is to meet with me editor and get her notes and corrections on my next book, A Boy and Two Islands. Once I get that, I'll have plenty to do over the rest of summer.

Thank you very much. It did well when the Kindle version was released three years ago. I am hoping for similar success with the paperback. I've been told by a number of people they wish to have a printed copy as they don't enjoy reading off a screen.

@TiarasOceanView Yes, I believe you have read my first book, River Dream. There are two more in that series. The Boy from Buzby Beach is part of a new series of books set in a fictional town I "created" along the NC coast.

This is Awesome!! I am afraid I guess to continue to want to pursue my Writing career, even though now I am thinking maybe a collection of short self help stories to begin with, and then maybe expand more from there on what I want to consider for future books, etc.

Congratulations, I am so impressed by the fact that you are a published author, as I realize are many other writers here. I always thought I would write a book but I realize that it is too long for me, I don't have stick to it ness but I admire it in others.

When I've self-published I've always launched both versions at or near the same time. The publisher I signed with put out the e-book first and was going to do a print version but got backlogged, and then, when they finally did send me a draft, the formatting was awful. I told them I'd rather do it myself and they agreed to revert both the ebook and print publishing rights back to me. I found this odd as, according to my contract with them, these rights returned to me at the end of the contract term anyhow.
