One week until the Fortuna Release!
**Final versions of the e-book loaded to Amazon, Kobo, ipad, and Nook? Check.
**Product page live on my website? Check.
**Goodreads listing updated?Check
** Physical book formatted for Amazon and proof in the mail? Check.
Proof in the mail? Yes. I spring for a physical copy before going live. With Transgressions: The Apprentice, Volume 3, I discovered the hard way that the image in the digital proofer may vary substantially from the printed version. It wasn't a problem with The Cartel: The Apprentice, Volume 1 or Bright Star: The Apprentice, Volume 2. The printed copies were identical to those in the digital proofer.
Not so with Transgressions. The copies I ordered for giveaways came with covers that were almost black. Createspace admitted the printing was out of spec, but couldn't correct the problem. Jim O'Connor, my gallant cover photographer, went three rounds with photo manipulation until we found a version where the printed version looked like the e-book cover. So this time, we're not taking any chances. The proof is on its way.
If the proof is off - no worries. The e-book will release as scheduled. Physical copies may take a little longer.
Fortuna: The Apprentice, Volume 4 is coming!
Hopefully, it will be greeted with more enthusiasm than winter. :D
