Okay, Chaos is now edited, formatted, uploaded and ready to go live on September 1.  I just need to wait until D2D generates the ISBN and then I can *fingers crossed* get it up at Goodreads.  Why is it that the backend is so much more stressful and takes longer than writing the damn book? I always managed to screw up at least one part.  Did I double check for double spaces? Did I double check that none of the editing comments got pulled across? OH FUCK. I forgot italics. I have to go back and put those back in, and now I can't get to the print version for 90 days (at which point, I will have forgotten it). Well, I guess I'm not done and print folks may have to do without the italicized words.  Lord this is wearing.

Anyway, why such a lead in? Amazon gives preference to frequent flyers--authors who put out at least one book a month. Now my goal is to write my ass off so my Regi books can go out on Oct 1, Nov 1 and Dec 1. I don't know if I can make that deadline, but I'm sure as hell going to try. Now I have to go fix the italics. This is why some authors pay for formatting. I'm just cheap.

Good luck! That's an aggressive schedule. I'll be glad to help however I can.

Agreed on the cover. The creepy look on the models face really suits the story.

I have two of the books written, so hopefully I'll be able to hit at least some of that.

Dazed Design did a great job with that one. I do love the model and the generally creepy vibe.
