If You Pre-Ordered Pimpernel

Those of you who pre-ordered Pimpernel may notice that you got more than the average amount of typos in your final book. For this, I sincerely apologize.

The short version for why there are so many typos is that the story took 3 weeks longer to write than planned and Amazon demanded the final manuscript a week earlier than the last time I put a book up for pre-order. Add that to editors taking a Christmas break, and you have my perfect storm.

So, among other things, I learned that releasing books in January is not something I should repeat.

That said, if you did me the high honor of pre-ordering and have a copy of the book with more typos than you would like, try these two solutions:

1. Turn on your Automatic Book Updates on your Kindle. Hopefully, this will allow you to get the new version hassle-free. (Instructions here)
2. If automatic book updates fail you for some reason, message me on FB. I'll get things sorted.

Hope you love the book. And to thank all you who pre-ordered, I'll make it so all those who pre-order The Third Wheel only pay $2.99, and the day after it comes out it will go up to $4.99. Gotta say thank you somehow, right?

Thank you for your support!

Hugs.

Nook or Kindle?

Okay all you e-reading people out there, I *think* I'll be heading into e-reader land in the near future. There will still be some books that I will physically buy, but I'm thinking of taking the dive.

This begs the question: which brand is better? Amazon or Nook?

On principle I like Nook better. They pay the publishers and authors more, which is almost enough to get me to decide right there, but I'm curious about book availability, user friendliness, durability and all that fun stuff of both brands. And since I'm not interested in the Nook Color, that puts Nook and Kindle on a somewhat even playing field.

Since I've worked for B&N I clearly know more about the Nook. Some of the perks I like is that you can loan books to other Nook owners, check books out of the library, and go to a store if you have any issues with the device that you need help with. Does Kindle allow for sharing and checking out books? And how is the customer service?

Those are just some basic questions, but all input is very welcome.

Thanks!
