Accountability time!

My year of success is chugging right along. I sent out ARC emails (and ARCs) this week. If you’re on the team and didn’t get an email, or didn’t get a reply, let me know. The paperback would be completely ready to be crossed off, if Ingram didn’t send a cover template a tenth of an inch smaller than they want them to be, then complain when those files return at the dimension they asked for. Promo got briefly sidetracked due to my anxieties over these wildfires and their proximity to my son and his girlfriend, but I’ll be back on that train later today.
