How we came to publish this one
This is a CaféLit serial. These consist of episodes that stand alone well enough but also have a story arc that spans all episodes. This is in fact the third by one of our regular writers Dawn Knox.
The title
Dawn’s first serial with us was The Basilwade Chrionicles. In fact I suggested this title. Dawn has named her town as Basilwade. I thought “chronicles” had a nice ring about it. Dawn now refers to this series as the Chronicles’ Chronicles. The second is called The Macaroon Chronicles.
Some notes about the process
Just as with every CaféLit story each episode is given a short copy edit before it goes on to the site. I also did another copy edit / proof read as the book was put together. Once the camera-ready design was finished it was passed back to Dawn to check. Before it was released there was a final proof read by two of us in-house. It’s a slightly shorter process than with many of our books but this is in part because much of the work is done as we publish each episode.
The cover
The cover was designed by Neill C. Woods who in fact designed the covers for all three books, at Dawn’s request. The style of the picture really picks up the style of the stories themselves.
Some notes about style
These stories are quirky and fun. Dawn is getting quite a following for these stories. She is a prolific writer and covers a variety of styles. I’m curious as to whether her readers follow her in all of her styles.
Who we think the reader is
These stories will appeal to readers with a certain sense of humour. Somewhere between The Vicar of Dibley and Blackadder.
What else
We are using Amazon KDP for this book. It makes distribution to other countries a lot easier. It seems the appropriate choice for this book.
