Scarlet Letters Gets a Revamp

Cleaner, but not CLEANER, if you know what I mean... 

Scarlet Letters has been on the market for awhile, and a lot of people have downloaded it. This pleases me to no end. What doesn't please me is that the version people have been reading hasn't been as clean as it could have been. Nothing hits an author in the gut more than a review stating that there were too many typos to ignore. I don't know how I missed these on the first several sweeps. I don't fancy myself a slob, but I'm not here to figure out why it happened, only to say I'm very sorry.



Over the last couple days, I have taken time out of my current works in progress to give the book a full re-vetting, and I'm pleased to say that I am very happy with how it turned out. If you have already downloaded the book for your Kindles and Nooks, there are a couple options for you to get the "New and Improved" version.



1. I have made it available for free on Smashwords for a limited time in order to allow people to replace it instantly in any format. All you need to do is sideload it onto your device by downloading the format you need to your computer, and then connecting your Kindle or Nook to your computer and moving the file over. Takes a couple minutes total, and it's very simple.



2. If you purchased through the Kindle or Barnes & Noble stores and don't feel like hassling with Smashwords, you can contact the customer service departments about getting the new file sent to your device. As of right now, there is no real automated way for customers to replace previously-purchased copies. However, you can't do this for a couple days (for Amazon users) or a couple weeks (for Barnes & Noble/Sony/iBooks users) because the new file hasn't officially published through those sites yet. Amazon is quickest, but Smashwords takes about 10 days to propagate through the other retailers.



However, if you want an instant replacement for your ebook, Smashwords is the best route to go. I'm going to be leaving it up free there for the next week in order to give people a chance to make the change if they so desire.



I now return to previously scheduled work plans... :)
