PSA: Errors in bookseller listing for The Crystal Variation

[rolanni]

Edited to Add:  Marvelous and efficient Baen editor Laura Haywood Cory (laurahcory1 for those on LJ) has the matter in hand.

Since these alerts are getting more frequent as the release date for The Crystal Variation comes closer, I thought a general posting might be in order.

Steve and I are aware that there are several infelicities in the listing on Amazon and on BN and on Webscriptions for The Crystal Variation, the most notable being the misspelling of the heroine’s name. We do very much appreciate that people are concerned enough about these things to write to us. Our fans are the best.

However! Amazon no longer allows authors to change the listings for their books, even to correct an error. I don’t think BN ever allowed authors to amend things in their catalog. Possibly one might write to Baen Management, as we have done, (infoATbaenDOTcom) and ask them to correct the errors. Possibly they have attempted to do this and the bookstores are ignoring them.

In any case, thank you! for your advertance and your interest, but — hands tied, here.

Thank you.

Cantra/Amazon

Sure 'nuf Cantra's name is misspelled on Amazon for the Crystal Variation. Hope it can be corrected.

In the previous posting. Thanks for the autobiographical info. I notice also that you subscribe to the belief that our pets are waiting for us across the Rainbow Bridge. I have a friend who had a very clear dream about the Bridge before she ever heard of it. And in a strange twist our beloved Bill Christie, DVM lately of Panguich UT was working there too in the dream.

Meows and Barks, We had a demo the other day of the noise which guinea pigs make at feeding time.

I kept a guinea pig in my college dorm room until they did a room inspection while I was in class. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they opened the door. You see, the little one had come to associate the door opening with feeding time, and greeted me accordingly. They must have thought I had an alarm on the door. :o)
