Blurb:
Poor Kat. Her best friend Debbie insists Kathleen-the-Klutz wear
her ugliest bridesmaid's dress to Debbie's wedding. Worse, Kat must bring a
plus one! Much worse, if Kat can't get up the courage to ask her new boyfriend,
Gary, Debbie threatens to set Kat up with Kat's childhood nemesis, Luke, as a
substitute. Can Kat avoid staining her new relationship with Gary long enough
to see Debbie down the aisle, or will her trademark clumsiness condemn her to a
bridesmaid's worst nightmare?
Review:
It’s
been awhile since I’ve read a short-short “waiting-room” story. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to
write a story with a beginning, middle and end, with fully-fleshed-out
characters who engage a reader’s attention, making you laugh, cry, feel what
they feel and know the story’s over, even if you do want more. (All good books leave you wanting more.) I admire anyone who can do it and revere
those who can do it well. Ms. Douglas, I
revere you! I hope my neighbors don’t
hate me, because I read this story at bedtime, which for me is around three
a.m., and it made me laugh. I don’t
laugh quietly, as my friends and readers know.
What’s
worse, I’m a lifelong klutz and I identified with Kat. I’ve never been a bridesmaid, but at my
wedding I took a header and slid the length of the room during photos. My (now-ex) hubby and the photographer argued
whether I was safe or out. But I
digress. For a great short read and a
big huge laugh, grab The Bridesmaid Wore
Stains.

You’ll
notice I always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40% of
the book price from the publisher.
Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes &
Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author,
editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book
Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author
will receive about $0.83.
Downloading the file from your computer to your Kindle is
as easy as transferring any file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB
port on your computer and simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to
your Kindle/Documents/Books directory. I
actually download my books using “Save As” to a “Books” file I created on my
computer that’s sorted by my publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and
then transfer them to my Kindle from there.
That way, if there’s a glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my
computer. Your author will be happy you
did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
Thanks
