I'm Too Middle-Aged To Be Trusted With This Stuff

[teddy_radiator]

First of all, thank you a million times to everyone who has purchased Her Minder, either printed book or e-book form.

If you purchased the e-book version, I'm sure you are thinking one thing and one thing only: She fucking needs a beta.

Well, I need someone to beta my head, that's for sure. Because Teddy here uploaded the document, without accepting all the changes I made to the Word doc, so when it converted to MOBI, it brought not only my amendments, but all the stuff I got rid of.  People were telling me it had repeated paragraphs, all sorts of SPaG errors, font changes, etc.

All of which had been corrected, but not accepted.

Yeah, I'm dying of mortification.

So if you purchased the e-book, please let me know, and I will immediately send you a corrected copy. Yeah, it probably still has mistakes, but at least the changes I made have been accepted. I apologise. I'm really a better writer than that.

I can only use the excuse that I've been using Google docs as an editor for the last couple of years, and forgot that Word not only expects you to fix your errors, but to tell them to get rid of all the stuff you don't want as well.

If you haven't purchased it yet, give it a couple of days to upload on Amazon, and hopefully it will be the corrected one this time.

Once you get it on there I should be able to update it via my account on Amazon :D

Thanks, Gels! I cannot apologise enough. It makes me look so bad!

From one middle-aged to another, I totally get it. I am glad you noted this, though! I'm only about halfway through, and I was dreading the moment when I had to bring this up. 😬

Sweetie, if you will message me your email address, I'll send you a clean copy. I am so very, very sorry. The printed version didn't look this way, of course, and I had no idea the e-book did.

Please allow me to fix this for you.

I purchased the ebook from amazon but haven't to had a chance to read it yet as I m working on finishing a series I'm reading before I start anything else. Like Gelsey said once it is updated on Amazon I should be able to update through there I think. Sorry it happened but at least you found out about it quickly.

I think if you upload an edited version, I can get it on Amazon once it is there. I haven't had a chance to read it, but I have it.

I got it, but I know you are a better writer than the mistakes I saw. I intended to tell you, but life got away from me for a bit. Glad someone let you know. Want strangers to know what a good author you are, sorry I let you down on that one.

Sweetie, you didn't let me down. My incompetence let me down. I know damage has been done, but I'm doing my best to correct it and let readers know.
