A client's nonpayment is your gain.

Here's the first three (3) of five (5) short fiction titles I did for a client, who hasn't paid, so I'm publishing them to my sight as additive new title content. One day I'll expand them and print/ebook publish them.

Ebooks Versus Print Books

Please, people, stop confusing yourselves and denigrating the newer form. Ebooks are print books for the screen! The same file you use for your print book is the same file you can use for--and should use, barring formatting conventions--your ebooks.

The SAME FILE.

The only things that need change or things which need to be tweaked for each specific ebook software you use so that it works properly and LOOKS correct to the human eye. Check for punctuation formulas, like for curly quotes and such falling apart and displaying its codes every time a character speaks in each ebook packing. Or paragraphs not being indented and smooshing together, so everything looks like one tediously long paragraph.

Other than things like that, the text, your story, all that is what you truly wanted to say and publish remains the same. An ebook is a print screen publishing.
