The book proofs arrived. THey look great. Fantastic actually. It's quite snazzy. I should change a few things, but I think it's good for what it is. The numbers are off, they're on the inside of the pages rather than on the outside. But it takes a few days to get approved once I change and who cares. Rock and Roll. In retrospect I will probably regret it but hey, 1st gen.
I'm now waiting the few days it takes for Amazon to approve the whole thing and then I can announce. Once up, I will order a few copies. Actually I won't announce. i will wait until I finish my record, and acquire one more boom arm & mic setup for the podcast to really do it up big. I'll release the record, pawn my books in person on people, and have an avenue in which to do it. IE, the podcast. I need to pay rent first. After that, I can pony up for the rest of the equipment (second condenser, boom arm, shock mount) and start scheduling guests. Or so I hope. We'll see where it goes. Here's to the future.
