HEAD OVER HEELS is now at the Sony Store!
Like with NOOK, I needed to use Smashwords to distribute to Sony. For some reason, despite that Smashwords has the updated back cover copy for the book and the third edition publishing date, NOOK and Sony are showing the new cover (and new insides–ie. the book you read) but Sony hasn’t replaced the second edition book blurb (what you’d see on the back of a paperback book) or the book publication date, and NOOK is showing an excerpt from the previous edition with Amber Quill Press (the scene still exists in the book but has been updated and revised). I find this frustrating and will contact Smashwords to see what, if anything, they can do to correct this. This is why I like to upload directly to a venue instead of going through a distributor. However, PubIt, the self-publishing portral for Barnes & Noble and NOOK, does not at this time support non-American authors unless you, say, live in the U.S. during the winter and have a U.S. bank account and street address. I have neither, so I am limited to publishing to Sony and NOOK through Smashwords (where the book is also available in various formats).
Rest assured, the sites have the new book content as well as the new cover. It’s the other aspects of the website book page templates that are carrying over from the 2nd edition with Amber Quill Press. Plus, the original publication date of 2002 (which was with NovelBooks, Inc.) is showing on Sony.
A little annoying, but there you have it. The book has been revised and updated to 2012. If you buy the Blue Orchard Books edition of HEAD OVER HEELS from Sony or NOOK, you will be getting the updated edition. On the Sony and NOOK websites, Smashwords reads as the publisher, not Blue Orchard Books. This is the only way to get to these venues from Smashwords. Again, rest assured, it is the new edition!
