Look on the bright side. Maybe versions of "Edition #3" will one day become wildly rare and expensive collectibles. Perhaps they could, at this very moment, be considered NFTs (or would the NFT be the funky file the manuscript is on? Hey, I'm willing to sell it!).
Well, the current edition of 83 in the Shade is once again imperfect. Help me Simon and Schuster, you're my only hope! So, if anyone has purchased "Edition #3"; I apologize for the weird flaws on pages 333-334. I'm working on amending that. Kindle Direct Publishing (formerly Amazon Create Space) seems to have completely dispensed with their QC Department. The first edition of the book, despite the numerous flaws on my end, had a beautiful and seemingly engineered layout. I recall in 2015 that I could reach any number of persons immediately for assistance with any and all problems. Now they don't even have a phone number. I think I'm done with Amazon. In any event, I will not self-publish my second novel 84 on the Floor. It won't be published until I've secured a contract with a major publishing house. So there. So that means I need an agent. Know any? Give 'em my number.
Look on the bright side. Maybe versions of "Edition #3" will one day become wildly rare and expensive collectibles. Perhaps they could, at this very moment, be considered NFTs (or would the NFT be the funky file the manuscript is on? Hey, I'm willing to sell it!).

AUTHOR
Christopher Reidy is from the Boston area. He attended Boston University where he studied TV and film which eventually led him to Los Angeles. There he did the Hollywood thing (which he wasn’t particularly good at) and eventually met his partner Joseph. He was one of the co-founders of the short lived Off Hollywood Theatre Company which staged several of his original plays. 83 In the Shade is his first novel. He also dabbles in screenplays, toys with short stories, and flirts with poetry. Life brought him to bucolic Southwest Virginia where he now resides and is very active in community theatre. It may interest you to know Chris is officially an Irish citizen as well as an American. He also enjoys drawing and painting and looking after a passel of housecats and two turtles. |
