I've published my first self-published book, but ...

[Herb Scribner]

Hi all,

I just released a fantasy/sci-fi novel called "The Pen" today. I've worked as a journalist for Deseret News for three years now, but this is my first foray into published novel writing. Hope you find it interesting and worth reading! You can find an excerpt for the novel here if you want a preview before you think about reading the novel!

Here's the Amazon page for the novel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1535340924

Or you can order it through CreateSpace: https://www.createspace.com/6429871

Enjoy, and thanks!


Just wondering what I should do when sharing it with my friends -- highlight the Amazon link or the CreateSpace one. Thoughts? One gets more royalties, but the other has more long-term benefits. Suggestions?
