Stop In the Name of the Kindle Police!

I found a new feature in Kindle.  Apparently readers can report errors in books.  This in turn gets fed back to the writer by Amazon Kindle.  A bit embarrassing, but there is no point in pretending my book doesn’t have mistakes…  The feedback I got was very specific and allowed me to delete several repeated paragraphs!  Maybe one day I can pretend!

Anyway, version 6 is published.  Once Amazon reviews the changes it will go live.  It also has a new cover.  I previously mentioned that I bought some royalty free photos.  Well, I edited them a bit and I think its pretty decent.  I wanted to mix in a cityscape but after several wrist breaking hours with the photo editor, the changes weren’t saved.  A bit disappointing.  I used Cyberlinks PhotoDirector and it doesn’t allow saving while removing backgrounds and you can’t edit the foregrounds once isolated.  Still what I have is better.

As a side note, the original dragon cover is actually a wooden carved figure I own.  It was a gift from my wife.  Not really a realistic dragon or what I picture my main character to be, however I thought it was decent as concept art.  Its actually a varnished brown color but I thought grey scale hid several flaws better.
