As of this moment, Carli's Kills is 395 pages long and 83,210 words. There are 18 chapters, and I think I pretty much have it in the formatting I want. Basically. I'm still doing Courier 12 pt. double-spaced. For the paperback, that will change to Palatino or Times New Roman 10 pt. and 1.15 spaced in a 5.5x8.5 size. This will also determine the cost of the book. When it comes to e-books, this don't matter.
I think I'll try and get another pass done on the book before I print it out. Something quick and dirty to see if there are any glaring errors. I already have a couple notes on things I didn't address near the end, so will handle those, as well. Then comes the red pen, probably while I'm in LA since just about everyone I know is unavailable to get together. Then when I get back, I will input/rewrite the story again before seeking comments.
I'm still debating issuing this under a pseudonym. I'm hearing Kindle gets itchy about such things so may not be able to. Which I don't really mind; it's a vague form of cowardice to do so, and I'm at that age where I don't have time for that. BUT...I also don't have time for simple propriety as regards what's best for my books. If putting it out under Michel Grasley will help it, I will.
I honestly have no idea why they had a problem and wouldn't let me fight it. You don't see his ass, except for a hint below the title. You don't see his dick. Is it the knife...which is more of a ceremonial blade than dangerous? Good luck getting them to explain.
I need to find a way to be more provocative without being more provocative.
