Which means open each XHTML file with notepad and remove the line that mentions charset windows-1252 or whatever. Hope this helps. Last edited by Guns4Hire; 04-19-2010 at 03:15 PM. |

Ive gone through each XHMTL file and removed it. So I have the corrected epub if anyone wants it.

Actually. What I will do is offer to the author and he can go through and make sure he is satisfied with the file (that I didn't make any other changes) and then replace his epub on here with mine.
Basically his file lists two character sets in each XHMTL and I have gone through each one of these and left only UTF-8. So Steven please message me with your email and I will send you the corrected file. * I am not sure what actually causes this type of thing. Why a file would end up calling for two character sets is beyond my limited knowledge. Last edited by Guns4Hire; 04-19-2010 at 03:18 PM. |

Hey, for those who couldn't make donations on my tips page, it's fixed now so you can resume donations if you so choose. I discovered that Paypal boned my donation link, so I had to go in and recreate it again. So it's working again. Sorry about that guys. I wish someone would have pointed out the issue sooner and I would have gotten it fixed asap! But either way, it's working again. So if you like the novel, by all means shoot me a donation in appreciation. And a mass thank you to the others who have already donated.

Hey, fyi everyone, I've got the fully fixed and tweaked version of my book available now. I'd update it here, but I can't seem to change the file attached to the post. So I'm waiting on HarryT to see if he can update it for me. Or maybe one of the admins could just beat him to the punchline and update it for me. ^_^;;
The updated copy is available here. Many thanks to Dreams for doing the original conversion and allowing me to learn the basics of how to set one up by studying his work. ^_^ If you've already downloaded it and don't want to download it again, that's fine. The only real changes are a few typo fixes (gee, imagine that! After all my months of editing, I actually still had typos! lol), corrected some invalid characters (stupid microsoft character sets! Augh!), and fixed the scene break problem. Otherwise, it's the same as before. |

Oops, nevermind. I see you fixed the epub. Thanks.

Pranananda, I finally got this figured out. The new file is now available. (so much for me being a tech guru if I can't even figure out a stupid forum feature. lol) Just go to the original post and click on the new file. I was able to tear it apart and clean up the bugs inside.

Also remember that it doesn't make as much difference what some folks are charging for your book as it does what PEOPLE WILL PAY for your book. That said, hope you got a good number of author copies to sell! And furthermore... KUDOS for offering your novel for free. If it reads well, this will be to your benefit when further novels come along. (IMHO) |

Yeah, it was recommended to me to release my first book for free to drum up interest in the series.

I have read the first two and partway through the third. Great series, lots of action and the characters add to the enjoyment. Well done Hopefully once the next book is released I do not have to go through hoops to be able to purchase it due to GR. |

Thanks for the compliments!
And as for the ebook store issues, I've been working with RobertB to help them iron out all the kinks in their system. I'm just as eager as you to make their site the best it can be. Also, once my publisher sorts out some stuff he'll have my books available through other ebook stores as well so that you have a choice. |

I think you are ready to get a major editor to help you polish your work. No, I'm not kidding. Your concepts and development are good, and you can write action scenes well. But to get to the next level, you could benefit from some independent help.
Browse aroound "Preditors and Editors" http://pred-ed.com/ and find what you need. You are almost ready for prime time. Almost. and I'm talking about REALLY prime time. Best of luck to you! |
