Richard

This is the graphic design guy from my publishing house. I was fairly certain I had offended him by telling him his fonts super sucked... maybe not. He called me a couple months ago about launch parties and then last week he sent me this really nice email. I'm glad to know I haven't offended Richard and I think it will make me even more comfortable just going right to him about cover issues. ...Yeah, hopefully Richard will still like me by the time Am I 30 Yet? is done. Still, fun email to receive!

Hi, Jen,
I just finished formatting your book to ebooks. It takes me about 10 hour to covert a 300+ page from the InDesign files to the Word.doc format required for submission. I don’t usually go into the story. Knowing Amelia took me four days. Why?  While I scanned the pages for any formatting errors, I began reading.  I wound up so engrossed in the dual story line I just had to read the whole thing. What an amazing story you tell. By the end of the book I had tears in my eyes and I was sorry to reach the final line. I could believe your characters were real. Amelia’s situation was real and though I got annoyed with Liv trying to make sure Logan was sure of what he wanted. I love the book A great read, A page turner for sure.
