After a lot of trial and error (mostly error) I think I've formatted and converted a short story for Kindle with reasonable success!
My first self-published short story is LANA HALLIDAY, written under the name LuLu Sullivan.
(Available at Amazon for 99-cents.)
Consummate meddler Lana Halliday is part detective, part guardian angel, part trickster. When her friend Ronnie Acton loses his gold-digging fiance -- and the huge diamond engagement ring he gave her -- Lana steps in to set things aright. Her methods aren't always quite ethical, but they're always comical.
I'll give away a free copy to everyone who comments on this post. (Though I reserve the right to change my mind about that offer if it gets to the millions!)
LANA HALLIDAY is an original -- never before published. I hope you enjoy it! Soon I'll be putting out some of my short stories that have appeared in literary and horror magazines.

Congrats on getting it published!
The short story I remembered really striking me was the Snows of Kilamanjaro by Ernest Hemingway. I am not a big fan of Hemingway but that story really stuck with me.
