title: Publish Your Book On The Amazon Kindle: A Practical Guide
author:  Michael R. Hicks 
description: A lifelong fan of science fiction and a self-proclaimed geek, Michael R. Hicks spends most of his waking hours working or playing on computers and other gadgets, like his tricked-out Kindle and iPhone. Involved in designing a variety of web sites since the early 1990s, he has extensive experience with HTML and a wide variety of computer applications. When his first novel, an epic fantasy called In Her Name, was ready for publication in early 2008, he decided to go the self-publishing route as a learning experience and personal challenge. During the course of getting In Her Name published, he learned how to prepare and publish books on Lulu.com, CreateSpace, Lightning Source, Mobipocket, and Amazon's Digital Text Platform (DTP). Since then, he spends a lot of time on the Amazon DTP and Mobipocket forums, helping other authors and small-press publishers get their books onto the Kindle and Mobipocket. His other pursuits including working out with his friends at the Beachbody.com community, bicycling, kayaking, and - of course - reading on his Amazon Kindle. He lives in Maryland with his gorgeous wife, two awesome stepsons, and two rambunctious Siberian cats, enjoying the chaos as he works on his next novel.
