    Xlibris

    Hey, you guys ever hear of Xlibris? I've got an offer from them to publish my book, but I'm getting some shady vibes from some of the reviews I've read about them. Any thoughts?

    Amazon's changing it's print costs.

    So, as of June 20th, Amazon will be changing its print costs. Specifically, everything is going to be a bit more expensive. If you were on the fence for buying a physical copy of my books, now's the time to change your mind, seeing as how the price is going to increase in a couple of months. Thought I'd give you all the heads up.

    What I Am: Aftermath chapter.

    Hey, guys, I'm writing a conclusion chapter for What I Am. Nothing too substantial, given that a sequel and spin off already exist, but I thought I'd put it down as both a way to let those that don't exactly follow me (or, at the very least, don't follow my blog) know that the second book is out, and also know that A Darkened Sky is about to get a whole lot of chapters.

    Fool's Gambit.

    Man, did you ever go back and just... cringe at what you did before? That happened to me with Fool's Gambit. The story has plenty of potential, that's not the problem. My problem is with how it's written. The prose is off, there are numerous errors, and I feel like the whole thing is rushed. Like, that first part could have easily been 4-5 chapters longer, and it would have been better for

Hey! It's ready, and published! · 4:59am Feb 22nd, 2020

So, I finished editing and fixing up and all that stuff my new book, and due to how Amazon works, the changes will be available any time between the next hour, and the next 48 hours. As for now, I have a bone to pick with Amazon that I'm sure you guys will get a kick out of. It's a minor thing, but it still bugs me, and it's something that I'm sure you guys will catch once you see the new manuscript.

You see this?

That's how the patreon page looks in my original manuscript.

This is what it looks in the preview page:

And I have no clue what's causing it.

So, I'm sorry your name is wonky, Topazmoon, it's not something I have control over. I'll be arguing with Amazon over it, to try and get it fixed, but until then I'm going to have to publish as is.

"Canary In The Coal Min"?

5207716 f. I was sitting there erasing and rewriting things for over an hour, trying to fix things on my end. I guess I missed something. I'll fix it the second I can (the amazon thing doesn't let you make changes to something right after you hit publish changes. You have to wait a few hours before they let you make edits again).

Cool. And its all good. :) Still can't wait till you publish the next one too.

Only thing I can think of is, maybe it needs an extra tab? or maybe there is a tab or spaces on the other side of the name for some reason?

Or hit enter for a new line and just add a few spaces in it. Might make the Amazon thing register a new line that can be off centered but invisible since its just spaces maybe.

Overall, like I said its all good, if its a little wonky does not really effect anything :)

Line Break instead of Carriage Return?

5207831. Nope. Otherwise I could fix it myself.

5207831 Also, that particular program that Amazon has is less an editor and more a previewer, as it doesn't actually allow you to do any editing. It lets you upload a document, which it automatically puts to pages, and lets you see the results, but no actual editing.

5207815 Nope, not that either, sorry. I checked.

I read it when you first published, so I'm wondering just how different it is now?

5207980 Its mainly corrections to grammer, but there is at least one new scene in there, as well as one scene removed. Specifically, it is the scene of Si'feri the seer visiting the high priest of the disgraced noble dakri. She still visits him, but the aftermath of that scene is gone, replaced instead with a changeling scene. A few others have been reedited and reworked for better clarity as well, but that's the biggest one.

If you already purchased it, you'll be able to update your e-copy to the latest version free of charge.
