I can't remember when one of my books went through the upload/meat grinder process without any errors (formatting) but this one did. I guess I've done this enough to know what to do without errors.
I've scheduled the release date for February 19 which is a Friday. I chose this day since most ebook sales occur on weekend days. The publishing of my book with a future release date allows me to do a little marketing, e.g. on Twitter where I've compiled a list of 458 people interested in Bigfoot and other Cryptids. At the same time the book cover, title and description get delivered to the Apple iBook store, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Sony, etc. so that potential readers get a chance to learn of it to develop interest.
I'm pricing it a little low at $1.99 to generate some initial sales.
The book contains 220 stories from newspapers, most of which are over a hundred years old. The articles cover activity in 42 states, Canada and a number of other countries. It's fascinating to see how accounts of wild men encounters and sightings are described. People didn't know what they were seeing in many cases. They saw something hairy, manlike, naked, bipedal. It scared them, was often huge, looked a little ape-like.
Many were actually human. Others seemed more like beasts. They were elusive, despite pursuits by large, armed posses. Some were caught, some were shot, some were killed.
I've added a couple chapters about some related topics, e.g. what else wild men could be if they were not humans living alone in the woods.
