Apologies… “Friends in the Stars” file wrong

Going to look on my bookshelf “Friends in the Stars” was in review even though I hadn’t undated it recently. It STAYED in review and I had to chat with Amazon and ask it be taken out of review. They promised to finalize that in 24 hrs but took three days. When it finally cleared I checked on it and it had an OLD copy of “Another Word for Magic” mis-published. I do apologize. I intend to re-edit “Friends” soon.

On editing…

A number of people were unhappy with the editing of”I Never Applied for this Job”. I sent it out to a half dozen beta readers and still had quite a few errors returned after publishing. In the past I’ve paid $1k for professional editing and didn’t get as clean a copy as volunteer readers. I also used Grammarly with so-so results. That ended after a Windows update stopped it working for me. A couple of days ago, I loaded Grammarly again, and not only does it work again, it seems to be improved. I’d applied it to my last two books, mostly getting changes of punctuation. I’m looking forward to applying it BEFORE sending out the next book to readers.

Kindle issues

Several people have described not being able to save books under the new file type. I understand the program Epubor can do that for about $30. I haven’t tried it. If anyone else does please report back to us.
