I uploaded new ebook editions of The Alice '65 and Porno Manifesto to Smashwords, with A65 also going to Kindle -- typos corrected and all that. It's funny, but I can see this being my version of what happened with the first printing of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are about 25 copies of the A65 hardcover with the mistakes in them, and from now on the copies sold will be good. Same for the paperback, which is next on the agenda.
Hmph, I just remembered a bit from The Big Sleep, where Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe goes into a book shop (that's a front for pornography) asking about books that don't exist.
Ben Hur wasn't published until 1880 and the Chevalier Audubon set wasn't completed till 1844.
As for me...well, I may still correct all the ebooks, but I want to get A65's paperback done, next. It's time for it to be available and that will clear everything out of my way for Place of Safety. The other e-books...all I'd do is clean up the grammar and spell check them, so that can wait.
A job in the UK might come through, to go along with the one I'm already set for. If it does...and if it happens after the already-booked job, I'll have a couple of days to make it over to Belfast and visit the prison museum on Crumlin Road as well as the Castleragh neighborhood. And what's great is, I'd be hopping over from London instead of the northern wilds of England. Nice and easy, relatively speaking, and cheaper.
In fact...there's a service out of City Airport the other side of Canary Wharf, a tiny prop plane, I think. But if I can work the scheduling right, I might be able to make it a day trip. Just have to see. It's for a university so nothing's definite...hell, that might take forever to finally be approved.
Anyway...life just keeps on moving forward...
