Stealth Release

If you’re the super-snooper-sleuther type, you’ll find First Step already available on Amazon even though I’ve not officially released them. I uploaded everything yesterday so I can do final checks of the formatting and all-around quality control. I first uploaded the paperback version since it requires a lot more work to format correctly. It looked good, so I hit the ‘Publish’ button, which would then allow me to order a copy for myself for the final look. On to the eBook version and sure enough, I found an extra line break in Chapter 13. Easy enough to fix, but then I had to wait for the paperback version to make its way through Amazon’s approval process before I could fix that version. This morning, I struggled with MS Word because the page numbering was not correct, or at least didn’t start on Page 1 like I wanted. I finally gave in and uploaded the manuscript just to see how it turned out, and lo and behold, it doesn’t look the same in Amazon’s Print Previewer. In fact, it looks the way I want it to. Not sure why my version is acting the fool, but I’m not going to complain as long as it comes out all right. In the meantime, I have work to do to update this site for the New Release and to get ready to enter some contests.
