Capt. Picard, one of my favorite Star Trek Next Generation characters, has such a way with words. But I like the philosophy behind it. “Do it,” as Yoda would say, “Do not. There is No Try.”
Next on the writing agenda is creating a physical book for my e-book, The Protectors of Tarith. Late March I plan on releasing it in multiple formats, and I think having a print option (my first love) is a great idea. Amazon offers a print-on-demand service that I may take up, called CreateSpace. The price will be higher than the e-book; however, due to printing costs. Will this increase the e-book price a bit? I will probably keep the price reasonably low.
CreateSpace has options for covers and designers, and some interesting possibilities. I like the idea of a professional looking product that is ready to go. I may have to pay a fee for design upfront, but I wouldn’t have to front the initial publishing costs. As soon as the book is ordered, it will be printed and shipped. It seems more efficient.
Don’t know much about Createspace but I have used `Blurb` several times. I had books with images and text. Fantastic service although not cheap. Good luck. Although I downloaded your book it will take me time (several months!) To get around to it. Life is very hectic at the present time.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! I haven’t thought of Blurb, but I’ll have to check it out. I’m still weighing my options.

I will buy 1 in hard copy. However I would want you to sign it!

I have several ideas about the print copies, and that’s definitely something I can do!
