Publisher's Apologies...

My name is Shahid and I'm with Arc Manor Publishers (Phoenix Pick is our SF imprint).

I would like to apologize for the atrocious quality of the epub version of "Daughter of Elysium" offered through Smashwords.

Being a small (tiny really) publisher trying to cope with the multitude of ebook formats we decided to use Smashwords as a 'one-stop' venue for all our conversions without realizing what a lousy job they were doing with epub.

At least for the July free ebook of the month we are going to test a different (non-Smashwords) venue (if we use Smashwords, we are required by them to use their conversion).

And for July, while I can't release the name of the book yet, I can promise you that it is a great one--one of the most widely acclaimed books we have published so far (by both readers and critics).
