Major OMG!
I kept staring at it. Everytime I went to the webpage and couldn't figure it out, until today! The picture I was using for my cover was WRONG! My cover designer had originally misspelled the title of the book and I was posting the wrong picture on both Amazon and here!

Thank goodness for Amazon! The correct one was there, so I simply deleted mine. Infinity had come through and sent the cover that is on the book! Talk about a moment of panic. I had even texted my spouse to tell him we had majorly messed up.

But once again all is well in bookdom and I got my first royalty check for the second book sales. It's a moving. I am doing nothing but concentrating on publicity (and maybe a little scrapbooking) over the holiday!!!!

If I don't post before Christmas...everyone have an awsome holiday!
