I suppose you might think that I have been sick. No I haven't had the flu injection nor have I had the flu. But I have been down in the dumps because my publisher, I felt, had abandoned me. No matter what e-mail I wrote enquiring as to the whereabouts of my hard copy books, I received no answer. But this morning, out of the blue the Public Relations screed written by an invisible expert did appear on my screen. And you know what, it sounded alright...except for a couple of mistakes, so back it goes and another 14 days to wait before the book hits the stalls.
The writer of the advertising referred to my autobiograpic/memoir account as an examination of my family and my experience as a RAW description. Wow! I suppose it is. I do tell it like it is in everything I say. So, I feel better and seeing I changed the names of my family members, they can also sleep lightly because their friends, should they pick up the book and read it, will not be able to identify who ever..unless they are very astute! So am I sorry to have exposed our family history to the world? Of course not! The only thing is that I should have done it much earlier and not self published. The next book should there be one will be going the rounds of the publisher lottery until I find someone who likes it.
