I've just gone through the third proof copy of my rock n roll epic, Rising Star. It's not perfect, but it's workable. A few of the most recent corrections I made did not work out as I'd hoped. In one instance an blank line now appears. Some of the extra spaces I'd closed between words still seem wider than the rest of the spaces. As expected, the text on some pages doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the page. Since the file looks fine, I don't know what could have caused it. I'll leave it as it is. Unfortunately, a new problem has arisen regarding the Kindle version. A message warned that Adobe files might not transfer well. Recalling that I'd used it to upload Adjustments, I thought I'd give it a try. Sure enough, it's shon-gahd, as Italians would say. Since the program recognizes only Word and not Works, it's back to the drawing board. Fortunately, this does not affect publication of the print version, which should be available at Amazon in three days.
There was a reprieve from the wintry weather today, allowing the floating book shop to open, despite back pain. My thanks to Alan, who bought Kay Hooper's Chill of Fear. I also had a visit from one of my favorites, Laura, a Romanian immigrant, mom of two teens, who is in her final semester of college and has begun applying to medical schools. Good luck, sweetie.
