@Suzanne Smith Lol, next time! I’m happy you were able to join. ❤️
Changes in Printing
Have you heard the news about the upcoming changes to the cost of printing? Draf2Digital will now be charging an upfront fee, and Barnes & Noble have added new fees to their publishing options, too. This is all coming after a bunch of authors have jumped ship from IngramSpark. Even though they gained more authors after they got rid of their printing fee last year. Granted, they added new fees on the backend... Let me know your thoughts on printing costs, what platforms you have used, and what platform has the best quality.

@Elara Stroud I wish there was a better, all around option. I used to swear by Ingram, but over the past 6 months, their quality has been horrible. So many printing issues! Books with upside down interior, bold white edges when the pictures go to the bleed, interior for a different book that doesn’t match the cover, angled printing. Just BAD!

@Rebecca Phillips I liked this so I could UNLIKE this! They are forcing us to up our prices. It's wild.
Tomorrow's Coffee Chat
Here's the thing...(that's how all unfortunate news is delivered,) I can't make it to the scheduled LIVE tomorrow. Look, (another good indicator that more bad news is coming,) I've got three kids and all of them are playing different sports. You know the drill, games every Saturday and games every Sunday. I wont be able to make the next few. 😩 Please feel free to meet up via the calendar video link without me! My feelings won't be hurt. In fact, I'll be so happy to hear that more people are connecting over publishing! I will be adding another weekly call to the calendar starting next week. For those of you who have wanted to join but find the timing doesn't workout, hopefully Wednesdays will be a bit better for you!
Come say HI!

@Ram Hadji Hey! Thanks for being here!
It's Live
Hey... Just got excited and thought I would share that my new novel, "FOUND" has just dropped on Amazon. This book has been in my head for years. Inspired by true events of 2005, when a young boy in Ireland went missing. Hundreds came from all over Ireland and the UK to search for him. He was found 9 days later wrapped in plastic 12 miles from his home. FOUND is not his story. That belongs to him. But, it's a story that deserves to be told. I was just a bloke that got on a bus. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GV1BY6T2
