Ticking Things Off the To-Do List--Check! ✔️
There's so much going on lately, my head is spinning.
I have a to-do list a mile long and every time I check something off, I think of two more things to add.
(Every accomplishment earns me a sip of my favorite cocktail after my kiddos are abed, so let's get started!)
I updated FLUENCY's Kindle file over the weekend. There were two typos and a grammatical error that my proofreader missed. (She's an amazing grammar nazi, but she's also human!).
I grew up using drug as the past tense of drag (instead of dragged). I must tell you, dragged just sounds wrong to me! It's a regional usage apparently, that grates on some peoples' nerves--especially, but not limited to, those who speak the Queen's English. However, I've been told many times that 'drug' is wrong and thus I have painstakingly (and quite cheerfully) gone through all my files and corrected the mistake within the manuscript. Check! ✔️
So, if you would like the more perfect version, please go to Amazon and click on "your account" in the upper right corner. Then, "Manage your content and devices." Once that page is open, you have three headings to choose from.
If you click on "Settings," and scroll down, you will have the option of "Automatic Book Update." If you have clicked that on, then you'll get updates to all of the books in your library when Amazon deems that improvements have been made.
That's all I can do from my end. If Amazon doesn't deem the change I made to the document as an "improvement" then there's not much I can do. All new copies going out now are proper. ✔️
The paperback version is a smidge more difficult to wrangle. I'm still working on that one. It should be available in updated form soon. ALERT: BOOK SIGNING COMING UP
Robots and Rogues New and Used Books I'll be doing another book signing at an amazing SFF bookstore in my state called Robots and Rogues New and Used Books on September 13 from 11 am to 1 pm.
Here's the event's page on Facebook. Let us know if you're planning to attend!
If you're in the area, stop in and check it out. I'll sign your book and you can explore this amazing shop dedicated to all things Science Fiction and Fantasy. There are very few independent bookstores in existence that are quite like this place. Let's keep it open by buying lots of books! It's worth a trip! Check! ✔️
WANT A SIGNED COPY OF FLUENCY? HERE'S HOW: In addition, the owner of this shop has graciously agreed to stock signed books for me and ship them. If you would like a signed copy of FLUENCY, send an email to Tricia at: robotsandrogues@gmail.com and she will send you an invoice.
It will be a flat fee of $19 for a signed book in the US ($13 for the book and $6 for priority shipping with tracking and insurance). International shipping is available. Just ask Tricia for a quote and she will invoice you. I'll go in from time to time and sign her stock so they will always be available.
Please don't ask her for other shipping options. I'm grateful that she's doing this for me and don't want to create extra headaches for her or her co-owner, KEvin. ✔️
That's all for now! The website is giving me fits. More soon!
