I was just goofing around with my iPhone and took that picture above, then edited it with Instagram. My avatar pic is indeed my official author photo, taken by my neighbor who has some fine photography skills. :)

Thanks for reading!

I honestly thought you copied it off the back cover of one of your books! It projects a very friendly, open and honest persona. It tells me, “this is a person whose book I’d like to read”.

However, I had better luck with the EPUB template, and I’m hoping that my first ebook goes live on Barnes & Noble’s site in the next day or so. Thanks for the blog post on how to format this.

That app lets you make a regular photo look like a Polaroid, based on the filters you use… :)

Loving the bikes. You should totally go riding again!

Had to read to figure that you took the pic! haha Its too early for me and I’m too blond today!
We have to get our bikes going again. I miss going for these kind of rides.

That is not the way a text book works, where you have several pages indexed in TOC with content pages in between them. I figure if the Look inside algo try to show the first 3 / 4 pages of first chapter after reading the 1ª page in TOC and don’t finds anything but the 2ª page indexed in TOC goes to 3rd page and so on til the end of the book, resulting in showing the whole book. Thinking in terms of reverse engineering the process this can make sense.
I just uploaded a new version with a few pages (14) indexed in TOC, like the normal text books have. Let’s see if it works. Besides that, all is O.k. with the template, with proper page breaks, etc.
Or it could be just a glitch, as you say. Bad glitch, bad…
