They're in SC. The book looked really good except that they'd trimmed it so no one could say it was 6x9". I've redone the cover so the type doesn't go to the edge, because if they trim it that way once, they'll probably do so again.Carol A.

Maybe by then some reviews for "Star-Crossed" will be coming in. Maybe I'll have bribed someone to put some reviews up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (Are such bribes tax-deductible?)Carol A.
