Author's copy is finally in hand- arrived yesterday, via UPS (one day delivery, free-pretty good). I read it again and it still holds up. Two typos, six formatting errors (hard returns) and one minor, I hope, plot inconsistency, all of which are my fault. The formatting errors were hard to spot on a computer and, although BookSurge recommends printing the document out on 11X17 paper (the size of two pages), fixing any errors found would have forced another month of delay. So I can live with them. The plot problem is found in just one paragraph, near the end of the book, a hold-over from an earlier draft where I was going in a different direction. I'll pass the book along to a few readers and, if they don't get thrown by it, I'll live with that,too.
Now we wait to see how long it takes to get the copies ready for distribution and sale. Still not up on Amazon, but I'm checking every day.
