That sounds awesome! I noticed that YOU are the publisher too. Can you share more about the process?

It actually sounds kinda cool.

Quote:
Earthquake and Volcanoes have erupted across the country. Death and gangs stalk the land. Families head for home to survive, or anywhere there is safety. Some will band together only to be torn apart and killed by marauders. God, family, and trust becomes an important part of peoples lives again. Most have to relearn the old ways to survive. You will follow the Stephens family as it restarts the Scottish Clan system to bind theirs and other families together. Mean while conspiring men and women continue their plans of world domination.

I'll read anything that has "recipe" AND "cannibal" as the keywords.

I was reading too quickly, and I thought you wrote, "The cannibals didn't use parsley." Well, imagine that! :baby04:

That's great! I'm sure a lot of hard work went into the book. Are you working on another yet or planning to take a rest for a while?

One thing I noticed, though, is that there are a number of grammar errors in the summary on that page. You might see if you can get those fixed, it makes the listing seem unprofessoinal, in my opinion.

Thank you for pointing that out, but another thing is, it is suppose to be a story written by someone as more of a journal. I didn't mean it to be perfect. Sorry if this turns some off on the story.

I've been exploring Lulu's site and I have to say that I'm having a hard time finding things I'm interested in. I'm concerned that, should I choose to publish that way, people won't be able to find my book among all the others. I haven't been able to search by genre (i.e. historical fiction, Christian fiction, suspense, horror, etc.)

How will people find your book if they have to wade through everything?

yes

Yes i have another book in the works about 60% finished. The book is about a young woman kidnapped by a gang now calling themselves the new Huns in a post world.
The other book went retail and they upped the price on it, but i make the same amount off of it, (which isn't much) the book place's get the money. It is Down The Hole. I am planing a second one for this one.
And yes it is hard to find things on lulu but they are trying to improve it.
