When I awakened this morning I found a friend
sitting at our kitchen table.
“Your book is out,” she said.
“It is?! They didn’t tell me….You had to buy it then…”
“Yes. I’m reading it.”
“Well thank you. My first sale.”
I’m surprised for yesterday they told me I could
make the corrections I want. I assumed I had slipped through the window of
opportunity before it was out. Oh well, I’m doing the corrections anyway—they said
"If you think it may gnaw at you we can make the change." (For a fee.)
Perhaps this will be like a mistake on a dollar bill.
An error in printing makes it more valuable for a collector. I feel strange
though knowing there are errors in the book, and it is out on Kindle and when I
checked Barnes and Noble I found it was available on Nook as well. (I bought it.
My second sale—rather neutralizes the first doesn’t it?)
Regarding the Nook—it’s ON SALE, 12% OFF... First
day out and already on sale. $3.49 instead of $3.99
Also my friend told me that there are other books
with the title of Don’t Tell Mommy. I
had not checked Amazon.com. That’s okay, perhaps people will look through all
of them, read excerpts, and LOVE mine.
Daughter Dear said I ought to have another challenge,
a prize for the person finding the most typos in my book.
