Update #15: The book is out now in Kindle as well.
So the book launched without me... not to a large fanfare but just a beginning. I am at home from my trip abroad where internet access was sporadic and my phone service told me that it would cost exorbitantly if I dared use it... so... immediate results piddled.
I am home and going through mail and trying to catch-up with links, blogs, book requests, and radio interview requests.
I have to now sign and make special dedications to all those that have been close to my heart and my support system of this project. If your reward included a dedicated book, I will let you know when your book is in the mail individually. If you would like a specific thing mentioned in my handwritten dedication to you....let me know. Otherwise my mind will create its own thought process...*smile*
This is the link to the Kindle version for only $8.99 but today I noticed they put the paperback book on sale for only $10.76. Something Amazon can do on a whim. So if you think the price was an inhibitor for some now is the time to buy.
I now have to go out and enable all the author webpages for the Kindle version for the UK, Germany & France. Each require I create it independently. So this "Get the book done and sit back thing." has fallen flat...lol. I worked throughout my vacation in the mornings and evenings giving links and requirements on sites and publicity.
If there are people you would like the ability to order the book that are outside the listed country's.. they can still purchase it through this website. https://www.createspace.com/3643231
The PR announcement has gone out and we will see if it filters to anyone that needs to see it, since it seems to have been listed in the FINANCIAL sections??? instead of the areas it should have gone toward, so I am holding little hope of the competency of the vendor. http://www.prnewschannel.com/2012/04/25/online-sex-other-taboo-topics-tackled-in-innovative-new-book-offering-solutions-to-virtual-emotional-involvement/
Well that brings you up to date. My visit in the UK allowed me to make several virtual to real connections that I found crossed over rather well. Dear to my heart in real just as much as virtual, so relationships are just relationships...good, bad or ugly. It is us humans that put expectations that others can not satisfy. If we allow people to be fully who they are...how can we be disappointed?
Hugs... now back to work autographing... *taps chin with pencil*
Update #14: We have Lift Off!
The official Launch date is the 27th, but it is now available on both Amazon & Create Space websites and purchasable. http://www.amazon.com/Virgins-Handbook-Virtual-Relationships-Pamala/dp/1463666993/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335124218&sr=8-2-fkmr0 is the Amazon location.
The visit to Ireland has caused me electronic stress as tons of things don't work the way they are suppose to... and NOW the publisher wants input amid very sporadic internet connection. Started the PR portion and files getting ready for the Kindle version... should it go to the Kindle Library?
I thought sure that would be a good thing to do, but I got into 3 paragraphs of the contract where it said they could do what they wanted to do with your book, include give it away and change the contract at any time.. so I balked.
So at the moment 3 weeks should give us a kindle version ready, but only purchased able.
Hugs..
Let me know your address to mail your book if that was your reward, if you haven't yet. I have to wait till I get home to order my books.. unless I can get them ordered while abroad. I sure hope they came out right.. had to hit approve without really final approval.. *fingers crossed*

Update #12: Eeeek!! First soft copy book, I can hold in my hands!
Well I finally have the book in my hands!! "The Proof'" of the book to make my final revisions.. and then when they fix that... It Goes LIVE!!
Maybe a miracle it becomes available before April 27th, but still want everyone to wait to buy it on that day.
Ummm. it is more purple than I thought, a bit darker on the bottom than I supposed and one correction on the spine that is not the same size,.. but 240 pages and it looks pretty freaking cool to me!!
So now I go through one more time and get the last of the corrections or hiccups in formatting including my mistakes.
I will stay up all night to get this done and I will turn them in tomorrow, giving them the instructions that once they are corrected to take the book live!
Would welcome any tweets and announcements that you can share with your friends about April 27th.. the Day to buy the book!
If we get it to the top for the day.. the world might actually realize that Virtual Worlds and Online Relationships do indeed have value!
Thanks again for your loving support and patience as this has been a long battle even AFTER the research & writing.
Hugs,
Pamala

Pamala Clift on April 4
He he.. Yossel said the same thing. Just finished the last review with the last corrections. Now I am trying to get my mind around the fact that this Book chapter of my life is finally complete!!
Well not complete.. they still have to make the changes I gave them 54.. and cover corrections to return it to its two tone status.. but that there is nothing more for me to do. I even went and filled out their Create Space website which will be the first place to have the book available even before Amazon. https://www.createspace.com/3643231
But the goal is to have the rest of the world know We are Valuable and that virtual relationships are important. So even though as I get $3 more per book from the direct link above vs Amazon... at least for April 27th.. I request everyone to buy through Amazon, because no one will see us on the direct link... but the world will see the value if we top the charts.
Hugs!
