Buyer be warned!!

Recently I was made aware that my book is already being sold. I have not given approval with changes to some glaring errors so anything you buy will be sold to you on unethical or illegal grounds. It may be just a proof and therefore you are getting ripped off or you will be getting a pirated copy which is illegal. Either way, I am not earning royalties, which in itself is highly dishonest and unethical. The book is being sold at major book distributors as well as on the publisher's website. I simply want my audience to have the facts to make an informed decision. I will keep you posted as to when it will be available for HONEST sale.

Thank you.

PS -- As of 10/4, the publisher was notified of this and assured me he is looking into this mix-up. He also assured me it was never released with his approval or mine.

What's That?!


Why, yes, it is the proof copy of my book which I received in the mail today!!! That term -- "proof copy" struck me today as having two meanings. It is actual, tangible proof AND it is a copy to proofread before printing mass quantities. So there you have it, folks! Once they make one correction, I will have my boxes of books in the mail! Praising my Lord today!


In His time,

One to three days!

Called Advantage yesterday. Mike said the problem at the printers was fixed. Karyn called today and said my copy is in que at the printers and will be off the press in 1-3 days. That's the proof copy which will then be overnight delivered. Once approved, I can place my order.

I admit it was discouraging to build up all that momentum of excitement for the release once the cover was done, only to have it lose steam when it jammed. I will proceed much more cautiously this time, but feel free to get totally pumped up about its release!! Keep praying, too!

Blogger just put a new tab on the dashboard so I can view the stats of my viewing audience. It indicated some surprising outreach information. This blog site has been viewed in the US, Canada, and ISRAEL!! The views have come from 7 different browsers, all of which tells me that before the book is even released, there is a wide variety among viewers. This is my hope and prayer, that God will use Healing Letters to touch lives in ways no one could possibly imagine. When one life is changed, it can change for 10 others by influence.

Praising God,
Lisa

Update -- Another speed bump

For two weeks+ now, the publisher has been trying to send the book file to the printers and the printers can't open the file. So Healing Letters has been hanging in limbo after 4 tries, as I was informed of today. Please pray for this project to come to fruition! Ephesians 6 says it all.
