Silk finally received its official copyright!

Whew!  I finally received my copyright in the mail yesterday for Silk! It took me THREE separate applications (yes, I had to pay anew each time) and much angst, like pulling teeth. I actually received my second rejection on my birthday, as you can see from this new application/registration date. But in the end, it is sort of fun how meaningful both dates on this application are: Silk was registered on my birthday (at last!), and the registration decision date was on Silk's release day.

Pro-tips:
1.) Use the Firefox browser to apply, or it'll just freeze up on you.
2.) Do NOT include preview chapters from the next book if you're applying via the 'one work by one author' application.
3.) Don't count on it going through quite this fast. Maybe they felt sorry for me, on my third try!
