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.

    Gina- I just want to say that you should be very proud of yourself. I downloaded All of Me last night and couldn't put it down. You writing was fantastic and the story flowed perfect. You have gained a fan in me and I will definitely will be looking out for more of your books in the future.. Congrats!

    Adelina,

    Why in the world would you want to make me cry like this?! :)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave that comment. And for taking a chance on "All of Me." Oh, and for liking it! :)

    It all means the world to me.

    I read the book today instead of grading my finals. Oops! I couldn't put it down!! I have searched for more books by you already. Darn! Nothing yet. Can't wait to read more of your stories. Thank you for sharing despite the errors.
