SO AWESOME!!!!

We have our calendars marked, marked, marked - we'll be there!

May 11th Hollywood Heritage Barn Event
 

The barn event is definitely ON in May. At their website it's still listed as an upcoming event with no details. The event is (sadly) not free, but $10, proceeds go to the Heritage Museum which is a good thing.

The evening will have about a 20 minute powerpoint presentation I'm working on Valentino Behind the Screen and there will be a Valentino film (tba). I'll have books to sign and expect there will be a Q&A, too.

Lastly, blurb has just updated their booksmart software and it now allows me to actually change the size of the book (HOORAY). This will save endless hours of recreation of a new book in the large, true coffee table size. Won't be cheap, but it will be a nice 11x13 HB image wrap, signed and numbered edtion of 50 copies. $150. If anyone wants to be on the list for a copy, shoot me a message. Don't worry, I won't care one way or the other, my LoT friends have done more than their share!

Change of Date for Heritage Barn Event - May 18th
 

So, they got it wrong or changed their minds....

Attachment 1611

So which is it? Changed date or wrong date on the flyer?

Changed to May 18th, sorry!

&#%@()@^@!!!

They screwed it up, yes. The real supposedly correct date of the barn even is May 11th.

Watch this space for further cockups!

I know that this is not the publisher that Snowflake used, but it seemed like the best place to post this (without starting a new thread):

Hinesburg police uncover alleged publishing fraud
The whole story

The bad guy's web site

That is sickening.

And to put a more positive angle into this thread:

John Locke is First Independently Published Author in ‘Kindle Million Club’

The story (ironically, in a printing trade magazine)

I'd love to kindle mine, but the formatting of it does not work well with photos. blurb is hinting at iBook publishing, and for distribution (we hope SOON).
