MEGACON!!!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's official! "Diamond Heels," in its Special Edition version is going to Megacon! :) I will be sitting next to my own dear mother who is advertising her book, "God's Still Small Voice -Screaming from the Bassinet at the End of the Bed." It's about me. And a little about my brothers. Buy it.
Anyway, moving on, "Diamond Heels -Special Edition" (DHSE) is different from the original "Diamond Heels" novella because of a few things.
ONE: The book itself looks much less like a novella than before. Let's face it; there is now 373 pages of information now. That is quite a stretch from the humble 182 it was before. Now, I would like to say I really did just add that much to the story, but alas, that is not exactly the case. You see, I wanted to keep the text as much the way it was as possible. I know it is not nearly the level of quality writing at which I perfom now, but that is kind of the beauty of a Special Edition -glorifying the old days. Besides, it is a very good peice of writing if I must say so myself, and I only get this from the many customers I have already served. Anyway, moving on again.
TWO: I added a couple scenes. Yes, yes, I know I just went over how I wanted to keep the story as it was -and I did. I simply added a little more foreshadowing for the big, climactic ending everyone was caught so by surprise by before. A little extra intrigue never hurt a book. The scenes do not change the story; they merely support it and make it a bit smoother.
THREE: I increased the font size from twelve to fourteen. It occured to me, watching my poor, elderly (don't kill me XP) father crane his neck and stretch or bend his arm in order to read the text, that an increased font size would be most diplomatic and more politically correct than passing out magnifying glasses.
FOUR: There is a new cover. My sweet, darling husband, who is also my graphic artist, has gone to basic training for a couple months, therefore I was left on my own to create the cover. That is my excuse if you do not like it. If you do like it, then I designed a very mysterious cover, being mostly black with some different shades of violet for the lettering. I also updated the catcher summary on the back cover so people will stop buying it for their poor, innocent children. Let me restate my warning. THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK! I mean, it is a clean, Christian book, but my bad guy is a bad guy, okay? There is some material not suitable for children under 13 years old.
FIVE: I added an introduction, thank-you page, and an about-the-author section.

Well, that is about it for my part of the blog. You can purchase "Diamond Heels" or "DHSE" on discount at lulu.com for now. Later I hope to publish it through Amazon. So I will next paste the summary found on the back cover of the Special Edition.
