Well, it’s Sunday morning in New York and there is every reason to believe that this new website, gallery, and blog for the biographical novel “Fate“ is finally up and running correctly.  It has also been linked to my name on amazon.com (right below the title) giving one-click access to my humble “Author’s Page.”

Surprisingly, the paperback print version of “Fate” will have my new website address at the back of the book within a day or two, but updating the eBook is not nearly as fast. After inserting the new web address into the original manuscript, I then must then submit (with gobs of guilt) the request for yet another updated version from my book formatter Jason Anderson who resides on the island of Tasmania off the coast of Australia. Yes, there really is a place called Tasmania and it is breathtaking to behold. I will insert a pic of it below.

Anyway, Jason is not easy to reach because when I am awake, he is asleep– thanks to the 14 hour time difference between us. I will wait anxiously as he looks over my request, puts it in his busy work queue, and then finally sends me the new version. Once I have my grubby little hands on it (and after a thousand thank you’s by email to dear Jason) I will dash to the nearest laptop computer and officially submit it to amazon’s Kindle books department where it is uploaded to be re-approved. Another day or two after the submission, I should finally receive notification that it has been republished. All this just to insert the new “Fate” web address into the back of the ebook. There aren’t enough daiquiris in the world.
