Errors and omissions included - usually!

Hi readers,

I've just discovered that my front cover has a strange anomaly in the print. My son brought home five books from his teachers at school for me to sign and they all had a strange print error over the words. Now some of you may like to get these while you can. My father is an avid collector of stuff and he likes things like that. Apparently it makes things more collectible when there are strange mistakes or printers errors. there is of course the infamous JK Rowling Harry Potter book which has a typo inside and its very rare with only a handful being published and is now worth a fortune. I suspect you are all now googling it as I type and have searched your book shelves to se if you have that edition. Im not suggesting for one moment that my book is in the same calibre as JK Rowling's, but then again Id like to think its better written if not as popular. After all she didn't reach the acclaim she has now over night, it was a slow rise with being turned down by publishers to start with.

I have decided to leave the book alone for the moment and ask my publisher lulu.com why the printing mistake has happened after all the mistake is not apparent on the artwork or PDF. So until it is sorted out, you can purchase away to your hearts content and bag yourselves the anomaly in the vague hope that it may be worth something one day!

Well I'm off to contact lulu.com,

Siobhain Hill
