Accomplished quite a bit at work today laying the groundwork for my work
with a new committee on the latest revision of Principles of Aircraft
Rescue and Fire Fighting. Unfortunately, by late afternoon, I could feel
a migraine coming on so I came home, took some medication, and got some
rest.
----
Woke up later and did some work on the cover issue for Foothold on Terra-Bravo and Crisis on Terra-Bravo. After running an overnight cover contest on Facebook, everyone pretty much agreed that the existing cover was better than my attempts to recreate a scene from the book. I now plan to keep the existing Foothold cover with two minor modifications: a different font for the title and some modified Terras among those shown.
This will also become the common thread through the book covers with the Terras displayed in different manners to to reflect the different books.
----
I've been able to sit down and put together 3 1/2 pages and 1,444 words of Chapter 5. Not bad, not too bad at all.
----
Thus far, in 27 days, we've sold 40 copies of Foothold and had one returned. I was told by some of the fine folks at KBoards.com that August is historically a slow book sales month and that sales of Foothold are actually pretty good for the debut of a first e-book!
----
Not much else to report. Ready to go to sleep.
Stay safe, everyone!
