I've Finally Published a Book of My Hive Stories on Amazon!
The other day I was looking through some old boxes and found an old book. I threw it to one side for the grandson, and when we opened it, we realized the reason I'd kept it all these years was because of the inscription. It was given to me by my teacher a very long time ago. She encouraged me to keep reading, and said maybe she'd find my book on a library shelf one day.
Now, I've finally put all my Hive stories together in an Amazon self publish book, with some major tidying up and editing. I even added some of my poems to break up the stories. I don't even care if anyone reads it. I just want to give it to Mum for her birthday next month, as she is the one that encouraged me to write stories.
I'm yet to publish as an ebook, or even receive my author copy, but it feels good to finally get organized enough to do it. And it's nice to have all my stories in one place as well, for posterity.
It's not a novel, nor any big deal, but it's something.
