Apparently, this is what happens when I try to rush things…
Recently, I re-released 101 Ghost Hunting Questions, Answered. That edition (the seventh) had been massively rewritten and had a new cover.
However, at the same time, my publisher was having difficulties during a server issue at Microsoft.
In the confusion, the edited book was published. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the edited and proofread manuscript.
So, we’ve rushed the eighth (and probably final) edition, which is the fully edited and proofread version.
In other words, the text is almost exactly the same, but this edition should have few (or no) spelling errors.
We’ve also changed the cover, so it’s more clearly part of my How to Find Ghosts book series.
Due to the combination of those changes, the book had to be released as a new edition. (It’s a publishing issue… ISBNs and so on.)
So, the Kindle edition will be 99 cents through Sunday, September 4th. After that, it will return to its usual $2.99 price.
And now I’m going back to work on my next book. I’m doing my best to release as many ghost-related books as possible, before Halloween.
I don’t fancy finding ghosts. Even at fun park,I get spooked by those plastic ghosts with colored lights. And the sounds they play are really terrifying,for a dollar it’s quite a horrifying 2 minutes.
LOL.. I agree about the plastic “jump scare” attractions at fun parks. In fact, I won’t go on roller coasters, either. Being scared is not entertaining. Not for me, anyway.
However, ghost hunting – at least sensing the ambiance of those who frequented certain sites – allows me to feel a connection with history and the people whose lives made such a difference.
I have zero interest in a “good scare” (and have written about it, at Hollow Hill), but just to feel the presence of past grandeur and important history… I find that compelling and worth visiting “haunted” sites.
