I’ve received my first Amazon review! It’s on the UK Amazon site, and I’m still chuffed about it!! It was strange to see four stars all lit up for something of mine and awfully humbling to read what he wrote. I’ve always liked to see how readers interpret my stories, and it’s no different for…

Chapters.Indigo Has Listed Me!
Yay! I’m finally listed on the Chapters.Indigo website! That means that people can now order directly from iUniverse through their online store too, if they so wish. Oh happy day! Of course, this now means, time to join the Chapters community, the one all us Torontonians have been inundated with ads for on the subway.
Whoo Hoo! The Books Arrived!!
Today, at 6:17 pm I heard a bang on the door. It couldn’t be, could it? I raced to the door, and holy cow, there was the UPS man! I didn’t expect UPS to be delivering this late, but I am so not complaining. Apparently, they’re short staffed and work crazy hours until Christmas, but…

It comes with a large instruction booklet for how to use the materials and to have them printed professionally, each on a certain kind of paper. This is familiar territory to me as…
The Final Stage
What a day! From the high of receiving my final proofs to the low of seeing two stupid errors to the relief of my PSA saying send the changes in and we’ll fix them. The spelling of the award Judy received really challenges my brain. I have to check the spelling every single time I…
Lifeliner Proofed
Proofing done! iUniverse sent me PDF files for the paperback cover, the hardcover, and the book block (the internals). They looked very good. I was impressed with how they styled my chapter titles and harmonized the spine and back cover with the front cover. They made one small change to the front cover — my…
Upgrade Website
Time to upgrade the website and test the Events Calendar.
Publisher’s Choice! Wow!!!
Lifeliner has officially been awarded Publisher’s Choice!!! I also saw the cover copy for both the paperback and hardcover editions, and it’s really good!
