Phantom character
Not a character in the book, but in the manuscript. When submitted to Smashwords, one chapter heading kept vanishing from the contents list, the NCX file, when converted to epub format by them. (Although Lulu had managed perfectly well.) After several efforts at correcting the error and uploading again, I ended up deleting the last sentence of the preceding chapter, the chapter title and the first sentence of that chapter and retyping them.
At last, this time it passed the test and The Clouds Still Hang now has premium status on Smashwords.

Thanks Sherry. Done all those so now we'll wait and see. Luckily I'm not seeking to make a living from the books, I just wanted the story out there.The Clouds Still Hang

My non-fiction book (Outshine: An Ovarian Cancer Memoir) has been out since March, and marketing it has been a full time commitment. I agree with everything that Sherry has said. I signed up to be one of your followers and I invite you to be a follower on my blog, which is about relationships, spirituality, and living life to its fullest. It is not just about ovarian cancer. www.outshineovariancancer.com.

I think you are right about having the blog. I used my blog to find my voice and ultimately write my first book. I wonder how many writers have traumatic childhoods? Some say suffering spurs creativity... many great writers suffered from depression. I don't know... I love live and I still write. Back to the blogging, as an indie writer, your main focus now has to be marketing. Blogging is one way to connect and create relationships with prospective readers and fans. You also need to be on twitter, facebook, linkedin (which you are) create your amazon author page and your facebook fan page. I also find niche specific social networks, for example my books are about practical spirituality so I found Spiritual Networks, a FB like site that connects like minded people. I post my blog posts there as well. Wow, I got long winded with this reply. Sorry...
Best of luck,
