Well, Create Space really did say that RIPTIDE wouldn't be available on Amazon.com for 5-7 days--but it's already there! Just go to Amazon.com, type
Deborah Annette Shaw
in the search box, and you'll find both TIDES and RIPTIDE along with a couple of Annette Funicello movies. It's the 'Annette' that causes that! LOL!!! I always liked her!
Check it out!!! TIDES - Book Two: RIPTIDE is available on Create Space! It won't be available on Amazon.com for 5 - 7 days. I hope you all have a terrific day! Debi https://www.createspace.com/4196764

Be sure to check out the status post below the picture!
The cover is done, the map is done, and I was able to upload TIDES - Book Two: RIPTIDE last night! Now I'm just waiting for confirmation that everything is as it should be for printing. That should come by tonight. I will proof the book (hopefully, online so I can approve it tonight for production) and within the next couple of days, RIPTIDE should show up on Amazon.com. If you really can't wait, you can also order it from www.createspace.com as early as tomorrow if all goes well tonight. All this being said, I hope you really enjoy it! One more thing: if you live anywhere near Ashland County, Ohio, I will be at the Ashland Public Library this Tuesday night, July 30th, at 7:00 PM. to have a little discussion and a book signing. I'd love to see you there!

Meredith, Linda and I spent most of this evening working on the cover for TIDES - Book Two: RIPTIDE. Meredith did a great job. Can we change the color of this now? I want to move this up a little and to the right. Now can we shrink the teal so it only goes behind the water? I think I made her fairly frustrated--well, maybe really frustrated! She handled it very well--I'm still breathing! She's going to play with it a little more. I've finished the edits and am currently re-reading RIPTIDE to make sure it reads smoothly and there are no kinks--hopefully. We're making progress!!!!!

I promised updates as we came ever closer to a publishing date. We're still not quite there. There's more work to be done on the cover and Jim and I have a few more minor things to work out in the text. I had hoped to have TIDES - Book Two: RIPTIDE ready and uploaded this weekend, but I'd rather wait a little longer and have it right. TIDES - Book One has received great reviews and I don't want anyone to be disappointed with RIPTIDE. So, please be patient with us just a little longer! Thank you!!!
