Then comes the marketing, then the sales! The whole process of publishing a book resembles more and more having a baby.

I had a (naive) thought that I could get the equivalent of an epidural for the book format, the uploading and conversions. No such luck, I did it all. No time for pain killers (or pre-orders) the blood pressure rose and I pushed my baby girl out onto Amazon and Smashwords.
