You see, I was checking to make certain my books are properly priced. Working through Ingram, I have to maintain a certain value in the face of rising printing costs, so I can get something of a royalty, and a couple of my books were down to pennies above the cut-off.
I also need to work up new versions of the dust jackets on the hardcover editions of The Vanishing of Owen Taylor and The Alice '65. I used to put the price on the book jackets, so what I'm charging for those is underwater. If I sell one, I have to pay for Ingram to supply it instead of making any money.
So I've gone digging for the original Photoshop files of those two...which means going through dozens of thumb drives seeking them out. Talk about tedious.
I've finally come to an understanding as to where Taking Nicky is going. Rett is going to take him, with the covert assistance of Vance. And I'll let Rett go as far as he wants. I don't think he'll do real physical damage to Nicky or kill him; he just wants to have sex...but I won't know till the end.
Still not sure what that will be, but I have to let the characters do what they want. If I try to stop them, they get pissy.
I've been sleeping till near noon, lately. Not sure why. I normally get up between 9 and 10 am, even when I stay up till 2 am.
