Recently, following the free promotion of HEAD OVER HEELS<\/a>, a Kobo reader emailed me to let me know that something wonky was going on with the em dashes\u2014these things\u2014in her copy of the book. I don’t own a Kobo ereader, so I can’t check to see if this was an isolated incident or if something warped in the Kobo conversion\/upload process. The ePub edition that was uploaded to Kobo way back in August 2012 looks flawless on my end, using the Adobe eReader app.<\/p>\n

This particular reader has a standard Kobo with no bells and whistles. If you recently downloaded HEAD OVER HEELS<\/strong> from Kobo during the free promotion, or if you already had a copy that you had purchased on your Kobo ereader prior to the promotion, can you please contact me either through my website email address<\/a> or the message function of my Facebook author page<\/a> and let me know if you experience the same formatting issue?<\/p>\n

This is what it looks like, according to my reader:<\/p>\n

Instead of having em dashes\u2014these things on either side of “these” and WORD\u2014she’s seeing \u00cc \u2014 \u00cc<\/strong>, those two big I type characters with the accent to the left on top, except not in bold (I bolded it for effect here).<\/p>\n

I don’t sell a lot of books through Kobo, so this is the first I’ve heard of the possible glitch. I’d like to get it addressed if it isn’t an isolated incident.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
