When I posted this image (a screenshot of the online proofing tool at 
CreateSpace) here ~ 3 days ago ~ I was under the impression that it would take “5 – 7 days” for the print edition of the novel to appear for sale on Amazon (I got that impression from the notice after I approved the final proof that said “your title will be available on Amazon in 5-7 days”) . . .
Plenty of time, I’m thinking, to prepare and upload the Kindle eBook edition, finish this website, write a blog post about it for my then primary writer’s website (www.RenaissanceWomanInk.com), let my family and friends know, seek out some reviews, and then attend to the details of promotion as they came up.
Ahem . . . Well, I did get the Kindle version done . . . a week sure goes by a lot faster these days!
