My book is being published…and…sob, sob, I found a typo in the blurb! On the back cover! I immediatly had palpitations.

BP reading up. Dizzy…not! But I feel like a dizzy dummy.

So I plunged in, reorganized, revised and sent in corrected files. Kept my fingers crossed.

God forgive my typos… The past three weeks were tough—me busy at getting my first novel published, and sitting at Hubby’s bedside in the hospital for seven days. After eight hours with him, I returned every night to an all too quiet house. Hubby is now waiting for a heart procedure. Fingers crossed, again. I pray he’ll be OK.

Therefore, I suppose I have a reason to have missed that silly capital A.

Anybody out there ever find an obvious typo after publishing?

How did you handle it?

Meanwhile, my book is available for pre-order…don’t know if this “A” blip will cause a little delay in delivery.
