Paperback Release Day! (And Notes)

Hi Friends,

First and foremost, it’s paperback release day for In Development.  If you are one of those people who just loves the weight of a book in your hands, or the smell of freshly cut paper, or the way a page feels between your fingers, this day is for you!

You can get your paperback copy of In Development now!  No need to read the rest of the blog, go ahead and go!

However, for those of you who have been waiting so patiently for the international eBook, I am so sorry it’s taken this long.  Brisk, the publisher, submitted ebooks for all our domestic and international channels on the same day.  Generally that means they all get published on the same day.  However, Amazon is having some sort of glitch in their system (or so they say), which is preventing some American publishers from uploading to international outlets. The awesome folks as Brisk have been in constant contact with Amazon, and they assure us they’re working on it as fast as they can, but I really hate that so many of my friends living in other countries are having to wait. So, I just wanted to point out that you can buy the ebooks in both ePub and mobi (Kindle-friendly) formats directly from the publisher, Brisk Press, as well as from my distributer, Bella Books.  Again, I’m sorry Amazon is having this problem, but if you really want to read In Development right away (I love you), there are at least a couple of options on the table.

Finally,  to everyone who has already bought their copy of In Development , I want to say a sincere thank you. You all keep me going, emotionally and financially.  I get to keep doing what I love to do because of you. And to those of you who have already read and reviewed In Development on Amazon or Goodreads, I want to give you a big virtual hug.

I won’t go into what those reviews mean to authors in this blog, but suffice it to say, it’s a lot.  Those reviews affect every part of our business metrics right now.  Even taking the time to write a simple statement along the lines of “I liked this book, and I bet you will, too,” goes miles on the road for helping bolster both a book and the author. So, for everyone who took the time and effort to do so over the last week, I appreciate it more than you probably realize.
