Last post, I said I was ready to start marketing Wolf Legend, my next contemporary romance novel with a supernatural theme. Maybe the truth should be that I’m almost ready to start marketing Wolf Legend.
I’ve still got to do one more run-through for editing, typos, etc. Most of all, I must justify the margins. When I first started e-publishing, I tried writing first drafts with justified margins so I wouldn’t have to go back and do it later. It didn’t work. It drove me crazy. All those letters jumping all over the place whenever I made a change. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try it. You’ll go blind very quickly. Or insane. Or both.) And I changed at least a few things in every chapter. Even if I was on rewrite number ten.
So I quit creating with justified margins and must go back and redo the entire book now that I’m finally, finally truly done with it. Actually I justified it twice already and then un-justified it so I could make changes without going blind. But this time I’m sure I’m done.
Really sure.
Pretty sure.
Almost sure…
Okay, I’m a writer and that means I’m never done. I just reach a point in the creative process where I send it off whether I’m satisfied or not. My husband often threatens to tear my latest manuscript from my clutching, ink-stained fingers because that’s the only way it’ll ever go out into the world.
When you’re absolutely, positively, 99% almost certain sure your book is ready to publish, don’t forget to let me know it’s release date and I will promote it on my blog Florence 🙂
Also, sorry I can’t touch base with you on FB, I’ve contacted so many authors I know and been referred, by them, to authors I DON’t know, that FB thought I was spamming and locked my friending / Fan functions for 30 days 😦
Managed to connect with over 250 of them though 🙂
Maybe if you send me a friend request, I will be allowed to accept 🙂

I tried sending it to Samhain last evening and received an error message saying the address wasn’t valid even though I copied and pasted the address from their website submissions page. Oh the joys of being a writer!
Follow this link to their Contact Us Form Florence, fill it in and tell them your problem:

Remember to always make sure you have SEVERAL copies of your work before sending it to them, in case the cyber gremlins eat it 🙂
I already did as you suggested soon after it didn’t go through. I’m still waiting for a reply. Hopefully it’ll come soon.
