  I have a book for sale on Amazon @  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1999442601  for $11.95. I think this is reasonable, but when Amazon adds their shipping costs, it becomes costly.  In order to save my customers money, I have been looking for a Print On Demand service in Calgary.   I have contacted several companies here for estimates, and have recieved back per copy prices ranging from $16-$29. What!? I cannot sell my little paperback book for those prices.    KDP's price for authors copies including shipping is $6.50/copy.   I recieved one quote that was below this price, but unfortunately, the minimum run I could do is 100 copies. I might be able to sell 100, but at this point I can't pay for them.   Maybe I should go to Staples and investigate building my own books. :) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mjmauthor Blog: https://mjmpublishing.blogspot.com instagram @michael.mathison2

Hello,   Thank you for coming back.   "Sounds of a Cricket" is up, and for sale at www.amazon.ca/dp/1999442601, in both paperback and ebook versions.     My final, final ebook version is done, and I'll be uploading that soon. In this version, I've gone through and eliminated a bunch of formatting code, using CSS. That should make the download smaller.   I am 5 short stories away from having "I'll Try Anything Once" fully edited. After that, the read through to see if it sounds as good as it reads.    As I said before, "Sounds of a Cricket" is out, but the sales are lagging. Now I have to teach myself how to market my book. 😣

   I just finished editing one of my short stories, Once Upon A Romance , and it was hard.    Even after all these years, it still brings up emotions. I can still recall her face and the way she talked.    In Once Upon A Romance , my main character, Mitchell, meets Dianne from Texas. They fall in love, and then, because of a family secret, she leaves.
