Adventures in Vellum for PC Users
To format my fiction book, I chose to use Vellum.
What is Vellum? It’s a program that allows you to create print and ebooks, but only if you own a MAC—which I don’t.
If you don’t own a MAC, you can create an account with MacinCloud. The site offers pay-as-you-go or monthly plans you can cancel at any time.
You will also have to purchase Vellum to generate your books, and the cost is $199.99 for ebook

A previous novel, Enemy Women, made me a fan of this author. Her historical accuracy sweeps you into her stories, rather like the dust storms in this book that is set before and during the Great Depression. The story is of the Stoddard family, with fa ...more |

| Original Review: Perhaps it was because of my expectations around the author's previous book, the Martian, but this book didn't do it for me. The beginning seemed tedious, and I began to skim read. Perhaps because the start didn't catch me, it colore ...more | |
