If you’ve self-published, you probably know the exasperation of CreateSpace and Amazon.
In my case, I wanted to make sure my novel was out on July 1, the date which I’ve advertised everywhere. CreateSpace warns that the print process sometimes takes up to 5 days…so, of course, I uploaded 5 days before the 1st.
And then my book magically appeared on Amazon a day later. Friends and family excitedly posted on my Facebook and I deflated in my humid, Texas apartment.
“Well….better early than late!” My friend Nathan graciously pointed out. I drank three mimosas at brunch and decided to go ahead and let the world know: my book is available!
Here are the links, hope you check out THE WAITING ROOM 🙂

Congratulations!
Thank you! I’m so excited:)
Oh my goodness! Haha that’s crazy. I would’ve died a little. But your friend is right!! That’s awesome, congrats 🙂
Haha, I definitely did die a little. Still quite annoyed. But se la vie! One of the many zig-zags involved in self-publishing I suppose!
Yes! It’s all worth it though 🙂 YOU HAVE A BOOK!! WOOO!!
Congratulations! I understand totally why you were disappointed but it shouldn’t diminish the amazing achievement of getting your book out there. 🙂
Looking on the bright side, you just got a few extra days worth of sales, which is good, and everything is leaked early these days anyway… Congratulations!
Good point 🙂
Thank you!

I thank you for posting this, as I’m releasing a book September 1st. I think I’ll submit it just a few days ahead of time, and keep the link hidden until the 1st if it’s early (I’m using a pen-name, so no one will notice).
