I finally solved a formatting problem on Floozy & Other Stories that had baffled the folks at Lulu and Amazon. Between pages 60 and 61, I had four or five BLANK spaces that were coded for a different font.
Yeah, that's what the problem was. I was amazed that little bit of coding caused all those problems. Of course, it caused those problems because the coded font wasn't embedded -- and it wasn't embedded because I wasn't intending on using it.
Nine or ten people looked at Floozy and attempted to solve the problem, and none of them caught it. And they format books for a living. I guess I was the first one to go line by line through the book. I'm very lucky I found it.
Anyway, things should go faster on Floozy now. I'm looking forward to it finally showing up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. And that's what I've been doing, besides the regular housework, putting up Christmas decorations, job searching, maintaining all my blogs, keeping up on Twitter and Facebook. Oh, I added a copyright statement and legal stuff in the column to the right. Read when you get a chance.
Speaking of Twitter, I'm thinking I may drop it. I don't think it's serving any productive purpose so far. Not taking up much time, but still.
Anyway, that's it for today. Talk to you tomorrow.

Congrats on finding the formatting error!! Things like that are almost impossible to root out. {{huggs}}
Well done on the formatting find!
Thanks, Tammy and Jean. I find it amazing that something so small could create all the problems it did. I suspect there's a life lesson in there somewhere.
