Huzzah, Book 1.5 of the Goopsverse is LIVE!  Once again the very talented Tomoka Murakami designed and illustrated the gorgeous cover, and I can’t wait to get through the revisions of Book 2 to see what she comes up with for it.  :D

Job hunting has me bogged down, though.  It’s just so over whelming sometimes and so difficult to find something that sits up and speaks to me.  But I shall continue to plug away at it.  Yep.

I’m not too sure what to make of the whole battle between Amazon and Hachette publishing over the price of ebooks.  On one hand, I did complain about the price of ebooks in an earlier posting (and I still think it’s ridiculous to charge over $10 for one), but on the other hand, Amazon should not holding Hachette authors hostage and keeping them in the middle of the fight.  In the end?  It’s a no win situation and the loser will always be the consumer/reader.  Which is why I’ll continue to self publish most of my works because that way I have full control over everything from the cover design to the content.  Downside?  I’m responsible for EVERYTHING, including editing (which gets sluggish after you’ve stared at the same paragraph for three weeks straight) and revisions (which are migraine inducing).

Still, I do the best I can to put out something that’s decent, at least, and most of my works go through no less than five rereads and revisions before I force myself to hit that “publish” button.  And even then I have to tell myself that once it’s out there, it’s out there, and let it go already.  Otherwise, I’d never publish.  Which some folks might think is a good thing.

My opinion about that?  Whatever.  XD
