A good while back Kait Nolan called me out for not having a book page listing all my books. I promptly obeyed her command and set up such a page. I just realized today that I have published THREE books since I updated this page. *blushes in shame*. I can’t believe my mind wasn’t in a place where I think about those things. I could use the excuse of my day job, my household chores, my family, my kittens, my new puppy…. But my mind needs to be on my business, too. And I fell short. Today (yes, while I was supposed to be working!) I fixed my book page. In doing that, I also realized that Kobo had changed the URL for the books where I had links to Kobo. So if any of you have links to your books on your blog, please check and see if those links are still good, especially on Kobo.
I still have one glitch on my book page. After I inserted Vampires’ Curse after the individual Libby Fox novellas, My Haunted Lake cover picture is askew. Every cover is supposed to be left adjusted, but Haunted Lake is sticking out, farther to the right, like a sore thumb. I’ve looked and looked at the html on Vampires’ Curse, and I can’t find the problem. I experimented and inserted it in a different place, and Haunted Lake was fixed, but the book after Vampires’ Curse was then affected. So it has to have something to do with Vampires’ Curse. I reinserted the cover image, and I reinserted the Kobo link (since it’s the last thing), but to no avail. I can’t find ANYTHING wrong with the html. Grrrrrrrr.
So, do any of you drop the ball on things like this? I hope I don’t do this again. As soon as my next book is published, I need to get it on my book page!

Hmmm…maybe you could put an extra return or two after Vampires’ Curse and see if that fixes it?
Glad you got all your books updated!
I’ve added extra paragraph codes, but that doesn’t work. You can’t just hit enter to return in html. I’ve tried all I can think of. It looks just like the other ones. I’m going to look again at home and see if there’s some little thing I’m missing, because just a tiny thing in html can affect the way something looks.
I’m glad I got those on there, too. I can’t believe I forgot!
I don’t know about dropping the ball, but I am slow to get things added and learn new technologies. I should be better about this too. You’re not alone! Ha!
Sometimes I just feel like there’s so much to do, and I don’t know how I can do it all! I will say, I’m pretty good at technology. I have to have the new shiny and learn all about it. But I’m slow about updates like the book page and getting reviews written. Some authors say authors shouldn’t do reviews and that we should leave them to the readers. But when I read a book I really like, especially by someone I know, I feel like I should say how much I liked it. It sure can be time consuming, though, when you post reviews on multiple venues. There’s just not enough time in the day to do EVERYTHING, so writing things need to be closer to the top of my list. I’ve been trying to get the Libby Fox trilogy in print for a long time, but I can’t find the time. TIME! Grrrrrr.
I just had a look at your list of books. You’ve done an impressive amount of writing!
Thanks, Emma. I haven’t felt too impressive these couple of months, but I think I’m back on track. I like to at least publish 3 novellas or 2 novels in a year. Sometimes I make that, and sometimes I don’t. It’s been easier since ROW80.
I do that quite a bit. I’m especially bad with updating things if I change them, like descriptions, new covers, new works in progress, deleting projects I dropped, etc. As for pictures not being where they should be, I’ve had that happen, too, and it’s frustrating, esp. when everything is put in correctly.
Sometimes my friends don’t understand there’s more to writing than just writing, so they don’t realize how busy I am. Keeping up with a website is time consuming. And it’s frustrating when things don’t work correctly. I’m going to try to do better about updating things.
