Yesterday I
received galley proofs of my latest mystery, MURDER AT THE EDGE OF NOWHERE. The
odd thing in up-to-date publishing trends, at least with my small regional
publisher, is that the ebook came out a few weeks ago. I’ve been reading this
version and have been appalled at some of the errors. Did I do that? I ask
myself, or was it the publisher’s editor, the publisher himself?
It doesn’t really
matter. It’s my book, and I accept all responsibility for any mistakes. Which
is what Galley Proofs are all about. The last ditch chance to catch and correct
mistakes.
For those who don’t
know, Galley Proofs are pages of the novel sent to me online. I print them out
on paper, or do a final $3.99 at Amazonedit on a copy online. My choice.
The good news is
that this means the paper version will soon be available.

And that’s what I’m
doing just now—or it will be as soon as I finish this post. And according to
both my calendar and my watch, I’d better get at it. Now!
Cheers,
Jackie
