Arcane Ops
Page 20
I woke up at 2:30 PM.
Well, that’s not true. I went to bed (local CST time) at 2:00 AM, alarm goes of at 8:15 AM to get on an 8:30 AM call for folks up and meeting at 8:30 PM back on the Eastern seaboard of the United States.
I’m awake until 10:30 AM getting some projects done and then go to bed thinking ‘I’ll try to take a small nap.’
I wake up almost five hours later, really not wanting to move at all.
BUT, these author notes need to be written so that Zen Master Walking(™) Steve can do a pre-order and hopefully correct a few Amazon issues of late.
I’m a bit mentally foggy, still. I’m going to allow Steve (ZMW™) to add a few comments about why he had me get out of bed in the middle of the afternoon to do this ;-)
Normally.
For the past two weeks, things have not been normal. Last week each of our books took between eight and ten hours to publish. Yesterday’s book, ONE WITCH TOO FEW, took nearly 18 hours. And each of the past two weeks Fan Pricing days had at least one book that didn’t price change for at least 24 hours.
So… Since next Thursday’s book, ARCANE OPS, has been through the editing process, we decided to set it up as a pre-order to be sure it’s released on schedule.
Easy peasy, right?
Well yes, except we needed Michael’s author notes. And he and Judith have been on the road traveling for the past month, and it was one more thing I needed to ask for. (And this was before I learned about their heroic effort to buy and transport enough American junk food to feed the Chinese National Basketball Team over a 15 hour train ride.)
So, I took a chance and interrupted Michael’s slumber in the middle of the afternoon.
He has forgiven me. I think ;)
Now, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled author notes…>

HOW TO MARKET FOR BOOKS YOU LOVE
Review them so others have your thoughts, tell friends and the dogs of your enemies (because who wants to talk with enemies?)… Enough said ;-)
