Teaching an old dog new tricks!

Hi, my name is Juanita Olson.

My grown children tell me I need to learn to blog.  Since I plan to have an ebook published and the sites recommend a blog to introduce myself and my writing, I decided I needed to get started.

My oldest son asked me one day, when I would finish one of my stories and have it published.  I realized if I didn't get started that dream of having people read my writing would disappear in a puff of smoke.

I have finished my manuscript.  It has 64,328 words and it is a mystery/romance.  Title:   Second Chance.

A woman wakes up in a hospital room and a devilish handsome man tells her, he is her husband.  Problem is the name he calls her by doesn't feel right.  Who is she and where is she at? 

Hopefully now you will be curious about the story.

I have been doing a lot of research on having an ebook publish and also about publishing my own book.

I did find out I need a cover for both and I am working on that right now.  Problem is I am all thumbs when it comes to manipulating a computer program.  LOL

One question that has been bothering me.  I found there are other books out there with the same title.  Should I change my title?

Do I place my ebook with only one place or do it at multiple places such as Amazon and Smashword?

Do I copy write the story without the cover or do I need the cover for that also?

It has turned out more complicated than I thought it would be.

But I figure the more I learn this time, the less I will need to learn on my second book.
