The one from MIT- Deja vu!

I was out in the bush today and came across this private hut.

I looked in the window and there was the hut from MIT- down to the old books and the ancient sofa. Just as I had pictured it in my mind...

One year with Smashwords

The three books crossed the 2500 downloads mark today. Downloads are currently a steady 10-15 a day.

What is good is that the other books in the series are proving popular, as well- which means I'm getting folks back for more!

I never dreamed that many people would have read my stuff- and the files keep going out the door...

Why is it?

That the only ones that comment on various review sites have ADD or poor comprehension skills!

Finally!

Smashwords have raised the bar regarding formatting standards. I discovered this when I resubmitted my profiles to get then listed in the sci-fi category and they were flagged as having a variety of formatting errors.

I had to take the whole Meddlers in Time manuscript, paste to notepad and then copy back to Word and reformat, thus stripping out all the hidden Word formatting- a mess, as I wrote this on five different PC's!

Formatting for scrolling ebook readers is different to formatting for the printed page and the 'smarter' readers wind up adding spaces and breaks if you don't keep the formatting very 'clean'

Still, it's done now!

Still more editing

Smashwords raises the bar and I finally get a copy of Word, so I have been reformatting to appease the gods of Apple.

I had to get extreme with the first book, copying it to notepad, then back to Word and a total reformat. This is the trouble with using five different machines to write a novel using cut & past!

This DID have the effect of making me dream about the characters- even if they were doing stuff not seen in the books- although I may use the dream one day, should I want somebody to have a slow and nasty demise!
