Today I worked up the cover for the next edition of Porno Manifesto. It like it...though I did notice a couple of phrases I'd like to make certain are in the correct size font. But the mysterious feel and the model's cool gaze add to the sense of what the story is about.
Right now, I'm going through it to do some reformatting and correcting typos, as I see them. This makes it officially a 3rd edition. Price will be $9.95, which is cheap for a paperback, these days. I may even bump it to $10.95. It's worth it.
I'm tired of undervaluing my work. That's why I bumped my ebooks to $2.99 and charge $3.99 for Hunter. It's worth the money. They all are, dammit. In fact, as I'm going through PM I'm finding my treatment of the book has been unfair. It is well-written. I'm reminding myself I do know how to write. How to tell a story. I kept telling myself I'd rushed through it, but it's a nicely complex story that fit together without an outline.
In reality, all I did in the screenplay version was change a black gay man to a black lesbian, and add a bit more background to Alex's family history. I do sort of skate over that. But it's a fast read and is perfectly happy with itself.
A writer can't ask for more than that.
