Good News!

Monday, March 24th, 2014

Carolyn Crane said we should enter The Carolyn because we are both named Carolyn. Well, I entered My Darkest Passion and it’s a finalist! That is very gratifying and exciting news. Ms. Crane did not enter, which is a shame. She ought to have. Her books are wonderful.

Woot!! My Darkest Passion has been Uploaded

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

Serious face of a Southeast Asian (Indian) man looking to the left. He is extremely handsome.

Cover! Hot!

OK, folks. It’s REAL.

I’ve uploaded My Darkest Passion to:

Amazon
B&N
Kobo
Apple

Smashwords and ARE are next, then the print version.

It’ll be a couple of days before the files are actually on sale, and, naturally, I am now wracked with nerves that I uploaded the wrong file or missed some major formatting problems, or that the book just isn’t any good.

Down To The Wire

iPad screenshot

screencap

This is a screenshot from my iPad where I do my first round of proofreading before I start preparing the different file versions for an eBook.

BookProofer makes it really fast and easy to make corrections, and I find that reading through on the iPad helps me find html errors as well as typos and other issues. No matter how meticulous I think I’ve been, there are ALWAYS errors, and I usually say, more than once, “How did I miss THAT?”

This file isn’t (yet) customized for various devices, though it will be the baseline for the Apple version. Right now, I’m just finding file-specific errors. When that’s done, I’ll start viewing on many other devices and tweaking as much as possible.

Update!! Revisions for My Darkest Passion are Done

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

I have just sent the revision MS for My Darkest Passion to my copy editor.  I expect that will take a couple of weeks. But after that, more or less, it’s a matter of file preparation.

Thank you to every one who’s written to ask when the book will be out. The answer is soon! Really soon!

After this, I can say that I will be better about my estimates. This is the first novel that’s not backlist and because of that, people like editors and copy-editors are essential.

So, again,. SOON! REALLY SOON!
