A bit of an update.

I've been busy learning to integrate the blurb and Ad copy into various forms of advertising. I'll not bore you with every version I made.

I spent several days uploading the ePub file to all the various distributors. That was an interesting lesson in patience. But, as of now, it looks like it is set to go live at the end of the month.

I'm still waiting on Google Play Books and Apple Books to verify my accounts for their ePub divisions.

I am also waiting for Ingram Spark to approve my Print file. As it is my first time with them, it can take up to seven days.

Kindle Direct Print sent me my Proofs for their end of the publishing of the trade paperback.

I noticed a couple of things I needed to fix in the print versions and made the necessary changes yesterday. I'll need to do that for the Ingram Spark edition.
It's not a lightweight book.

It's a 6x9 trade paperback size 10 font. I stretched it as thin as I could. Stepping it up to size 12 font would have made it close to 900-950 pages.

Congratulations.

I'm still playing with a revised blurb.

How does this sound:
I know I did not cause the failure of Dillon Dimensional Gate and the deaths of two people.

My boss does not want to hear it, and fires me while placing the Gates's failure solely on me.

I have a path forward to clear my name. All I need do is travel untold dimensional worlds and return with my mind intact, a feat only I have done, once.

It's attention getting, sets the stage for what happened and what journey the book will take you on (without having read the book, I assume it follows the blurb).
Short and sweet. Not bad.

Put a the in front of Dillon is about all I can say.

Wow, thank you. I've been so heads down working on the continuity edits of book three that I've not checked in here.
