Who are you?
Jun 12th, 2006 by Sandra
Got my author copies of Dead Reckoning on Saturday and was amazed to discover that I’d moved to Wyoming so I could be closer to the mountains and spend more time snow skiing.
Say what?
It turns out that the bio from another “Sandra Moore” was pulled out of the database to use for my book, and while her bio is lovely and evocative, it sure as heck ain’t my voice or tone. Funny thing is, I do love the mountains and hiking and camping. Close but no cigar. This other Sandra Moore wrote for Special Edition and the last book I was able to find of hers was published back in 1994 and about a cowboy.
Hmm. Cowboys. Way not my kinda thing.
Ah well. I know these production glitches can happen and this one’s totally out of my control, so why get upset about it? Please just step on over to read my bio — the real one.
That’s too funny. Is it going to be fixed or is that how your books will be released? Is it at least your picture?
Good thing you have email access…you know, so we can keep in touch now that you live in Wyoming. ;)
Gee, Wyoming. Where are you going to dock the boat? I love your attitude - I think I’d be pulling my hair out and screaming.
Nope, no fixing for this one, I’m afraid. It’d be way too expensive and time-consuming to correct.
It’s a bit of a bummer because I always end the bio with a line or two that’s specific to the book, and of course that’s been lost unless the reader happens to visit my web site.
My dSO suggested that perhaps the reason the other Sandra hasn’t published since 1994 is that she’s up there in Wyoming trying to figure out where, as Terri mentions, to dock her boat….
Well, now I feel bad for thinking it was funny. I’m sorry that happened but Terri is right, you have a great attitude about it.
Definitely don’t feel bad about finding it funny! I thought it was pretty hysterical, myself.
It also gave me an excuse to listen to The Who for a while….
