I am thinking about taking your speculative fiction workshop and since I’ve never been a science fiction fan, I decided to buy one of your books to see what the genre was all about.
I found your book Marseguro in the Amazon Kindle store so I bought it. To my surprise when I tried to read the book on my iPad, the content was not your book at all. It was in fact “Ghost of a Chance” by Kate Marsh.
I’ve contacted Amazon and they are working on the problem.
I look forward to reading your book but I’m afraid I’ll have to pass on the workshop – it’s in the evening and without a car, I dread the long bus ride and waiting in the dark.
Thanks
Too bad, Margaret. It would have been a pleasure to have you.
I hope you enjoy Marseguro when you get the right text…what a bizarre problem. First time anyone has mentioned it!
