Celebrate!
If zombies could dance, they'd be getting down to celebrate the publication of "Biggun" my zombie short story! Woohoo!
Check it out - it's in the right sidebar --->
I was upset to learn Amazon-Kindle won't do bank transfers to Egypt. Bulgaria and Latvia are on their list, but Egypt? Uh-uh. No way to pub with them. Luckily my super-wonderful CP, Kate Larkindale at Fiction + Film, did me a HUGE favor and I was able to publish on Smashwords. Smashwords offers books in epub, Kindle mobi, PDF, HTML, and a bunch of other versions.
Only $0.99

Congrats Lexa! Sorry to hear about Amazon not making transfers to Egypt. Gotta admit, that's surprising! Glad to hear you got it all sorted out with the help of your wonderful CP!
Sorry about the Kindle "thingy."
Congrats with success on using Smashword.
Whoa, I didn't think there was anyplace Amazon didn't do business. Pooh on them. Glad you got it done with Smashwords.
Ultra-creepy cover.
Congratulations! I'm sure the zombies are dancing somewhere...well, more or less. Amazon can be so frustrating, but it looks like you found a way to ease around them. Good for you!
Congrats, Lexa. Don't know what the problem is with Amazon. Nice of Kate to step in and help!
Congratulations, Lexa :)
How cool that you got your Zombie story published. Congratulations.
It's no problem! I'm just glad you get to have your story out there because it's awesome!
That is SO WEIRD that Amazon doesn't do Kindle publish with Egypt. It sucks that that's the case too. But yay that you were able to publish Biggun anyway!! That's so awesome. Zombies would totally be dancing over this :)
A Zombie short, heh? Do Zombies dance? I'm trying to get an image of that in my head. Congrats on the publication. You can dance. That I know.
Congrats on the short story!! I wonder, when zombies dance do one of their limbs fall off? I am surprised about Amazon-doesn't make sense to me
oh, I love horror stories, as soon as I have a free minute, I will have to grab this one - looks like we have something similar to celebrate this week! Blessings!
Sorry to hear that Amazon won't work for you- but awesome that you found another venue to get your book out there! Yeah for Smashwords and your CP. :) Love the cover by the way- super creepy. I don't have an ereader- but I will spread the word. Good luck!

Congrats on your short story! Bummer about Amazon, but Yay! for Smashwords! Enjoy the weekend Lexa!
Hey Lexa,
I'm a big Amazon and Amazon Kindle fan. So I'll deal with the restrictions as an author when it comes to publishing with them. ~~~~~ Congrats on your recent publication(s). ~~~~~ I joined the blog hop. It's a big commitment to post every Friday, but your hop is a positive hop, and I want to encourage positive things in my life. Thanks!
