misspelled words
Unfortunately, I don't have the funds at the moment to fix a misspelled word in my paperback book, Chasing Dragons: Vengeance. Hopefully it is the only one. I did fix it in the ebook file though. The word is, and I am embarrassed to admit this, dieing. My spell check on two different programs didn't reveal this slight overlook. But that is only because the word is spelled correctly. For the sentence I used it for, it is not. Dieing or dying. I wrote dieing: to cut, form, or stamp with or as if with a die. I intended (wink, wink) dying: to cease living; become dead; expire. How is it when you proofread something fifty thousand times, you can still miss the most obvious. Ridiculous to the point of mortification. Sorry, about that. And no, I will not tell you where. You will just have to find it yourself. I secretly hope you pass it and wonder where the word could have been.

Chasing Dragons Book Release
I am very happy, and somewhat scared to death, to announce that Chasing Dragons is released. At this time you may purchase the ebook in the form of the kindle on Amazon.com and the nook on BarnsandNoble.com for only $0.99. The paperback will be available on Amazon.com for $8.99 in about a week. I will eventually have some on hand that I will sell, signed if you'd like.
What it takes: for sure prayer.
It amazes me that even when I am at my most tired, I am still able to dig deep and pull myself together to do the things I need to do. In the past few weeks, I have worked very hard on my book, Chasing Dragons: Vengeance, (many nights past 10 p.m.) trying to finish the final details for its release. And, at the same time, go to a job six days a week that starts at 4:45 a.m, be a mother, a housewife and all the other hats that set upon my head. The process has been an eye opener to all that is required, (and it is a lot) to being a writer/editor/publisher. Word by word, line by line, page by page, chapter by chapter, until after studiously examining every little detail of every aspect in the hopes of having a story that people will read and love, and with many prayers without any grammar errors. This book is very much for me, but it is also very much for those of you who read it. I hope it is a story that as you read, the outside world disappears for a little while and you feel an affinity for the characters and their situations. So please know, as you read, the story is for you. I hope you enjoy.
