Self-Publishing

I have done a scary thing.
I spent this afternoon grappling with the mechanics of uploading my Young Adult Fantasy novel onto Smashwords (the text was easy - it was the cover that gave me trouble).
So I am now a self-published author (gulp).
To go with it, I have created a new blog, called Gateway to Ytir (the name of the fantasy world) - it's down there on the sidebar, and will be updated soon with background on the fantasy world and some of my favourite books, authors and other influences.
The book is called Raven's Heirs, by Lesley Arrowsmith, and it's possible to sample the first part of it for free (hopefully by the time people have read that, they'll want to know what happens next!).
