Full Power Aft! Let's Try That Again...

That's a visual representation of the proof I got in the mail last week.

Anybody who's ever tried to get a book through any kind of online system by themselves knows my pain, I'm sure. It's a catastrophe waiting to happen. And that's assuming you've actually done all of your stuff right. Did you forget you added a page? Haha, good luck with that. Was your title a little off center on the cover? You're probably better just recreating it.

So this epic horror got me thinking. I'd love to hear some of your horror stories, about what's happened in your publishing adventures. We'll call it shared learning. I'll tell you what all went wrong with mine, and then you can tell me about your disfigured creatures from beyond.

I did the added page thing this time, and you never realize how accustomed to having things on the right facing page until they're suddenly on the left. Also, if you go back to my home page you'll see the cover for The Mystery of Raven's Moor. It looks blueish to me. It's a purpley kind of blue, but it's still more blue than freaking purple. The cover came in purple. Like wrap a Plantagenet baby in it purple. And then my kid picked it up, started reading it, and found a missed typo.

Yeah. No worries, right? I had plenty of time to add that to the schedule...

So, tell me about your horrors, and come back Friday and we'll talk about a different kind of horror.

    There's a link to my bio at the top of the page, but for these purposes it's probably best to just say I'm strange.
