So I had a book edited but like I said I self published before and have a thousand books that I am hauling around the world so what to do next? I needed to get my books out there. I needed to get my message out there. So I hired a publicist. She didn't like my cover and I had been working with the graphic artist for years so there was a lot of back and forth trying to get the cover right. Then there was an issue with how the titles were put on Amazon. One title was Baited an Espionage Novel for the ebook. The other was just Baited for the paperback. They didn't match. There was miscommunication about the back blurb on the cover. I had sleepless nights trying to work my day job and contacting my publicist and the graphic artist with the time zone difference. I paid for a review on Reedsy's discovery and the book didn't come out on time. I wrote a email telling my graphic artist about all the work troubles and the book troubles and my publicist thought I was talking about her and told me maybe we shouldn't work together. So more 4 am calls to the states to clear that up. Stay tuned next time for more on my journey.
