Rookie Mistake

I feel really badly about people having to trudge through editing errors while reading "All of Me."  I've since corrected the issues (I think) and Amazon just re-published the new version.

I wrote the book in Microsoft Word, entered it into a different format, and then submitted it to Amazon (who then re-formatted it again before publishing).  These transitions resulted in weird editing errors and I - being the newbie I am - did not check the final copy as thoroughly as I should have. 

I'd like to beat myself up incessantly over it, but, the truth is, there's nothing I can do about it now.  I went back in, fixed what I could, and now the more polished version is available for download.  It's an error I'll never make again!

That being said, I am thrilled "All of Me" has gotten lovely reviews despite the editing shenanigans.  For that I am extremely humbled and grateful.
