Is this a book that's freely available on the author's website, or can you only get it through subscribing to her newsletter? I can't find it listed there, and her newsletter sign-up mentions a free story; I also found a review on Amazon that mentioned getting the story through newsletter sign up.

Hi --You can only get it by subscribing to the newsletter. We got it a while ago over the summer.
Thank you for looking into this :)

Thanks for the confirmation. That's actually not considered published by Goodreads standards since it's not readily available to the public. It may be queued for deletion.
Hi --Would you be willing to set it for now to the 63 pages just in case it stays (but I understand it is not a traditional Goodreads book -- no ISBN or ASIN -- so it may be deleted in the future all together).
We have the PDF and can confirm it is 63 pages.
Thank you for your time and for looking into this :)

Hi Matt-
Unfortunately, for ebooks (in any format), the only acceptable source for a page count is from the publisher. This is the only format for which book in hand isn't acceptable per GR standards; it can vary too much from user to user based on user settings and ereader models. And unfortunately in this case, we have no source to check.
Hi --OK. Thank you for the time you spent on this.

You're welcome, I'm sorry I wasn't as helpful as you hoped!
Hi --You took the time to research this and provide an answer -- that is helpful and appreciated. Although we can't get the page count I understand the reason and respect your decision as a librarian. Thank you and happy reading :)

Hi Nick.
Page numbering was correct,but you entered the edition as 1 - & these fields are really close together. Changed to first & removed series information (superfluous) & url from description, as this is not allowed on GR. (see here https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/404)
That's perfect. Thank you very much! Happy Thanksgiving :) Nick
