Computers, grrr...

So, I've been working really hard on Alone (that's the name of the book I'm releasing really soon, I hope). The formatting is going a bit better, but when I went to save after some more edits, it saved in the wrong format and I lost a lot of what I'd done. I'm not a computer person, thus the issues. However, we do have a book cover, which I'll be putting on here with a blurb about the book in the next week.

So, again, I'm really sorry about how long things are taking. It's horrible and I feel totally awful about it. Please, don't hate me, I promise it'll come out soon.

Formatting sucks

So, I have been formatting for forever. I am not a computer person and get confused very easily. But I also don't have the extra money to spend on paying someone to format my book for Smashwords right now, so I've been trying to do it myself. Let's just say it isn't going well.

I finally finished, I think, tonight. The last thing to do is the cover of the book. Problem there is, I have no cover.

The cover shoots have not been going well and I will not publish something that I don't feel captures what I'm trying say.

I should be doing another shoot sometime this week and will hopefully get the shot I see in my head. It really isn't that hard of a shot, we just can't seem to get it right. Maybe I'm asking to much, but it's my book, I want it right.

Once I have the shot, my photo editor will have the picture back to me very quickly and I'll be able to finish the formatting completely.

Then it's just uploading it to Smashwords and praying all goes well.

I am sorry that it's taken so long. I really hate that I didn't get it out sooner and it's now the fifth of November. I wanted it out before Halloween, but like I said, computers and I do not get along.

So, I hope that you out there in reader/web land are still interested. I'll post in the next few days a blurb about the book, which is still eluding me.

Other then that, I hope all is well with you out there in internet land.

Goodnight from California!
