|summary=Lewis Sullivan is close to retirement, but elderly beyond his years and widowed. Edie's death seems to have had practical implications - he's not getting the food he used to enjoy - but beyond that it's difficult to see quite what they had in common other than the library. He used it and she worked there - but they didn't even enjoy the same books. Lewis is an RE teacher at the same school where his father, Lawrence, used to teach - when they were both there at the same time it often confused the paperwork. Lewis is beginning to wonder if he chose the wrong career, if he lives in the wrong place. He used to be able to see the house he grew up in from the bedroom window before it was demolished and replaced by a supermarket carpark, but he's always dreamed of living by the sea. His adult daughter, Ruth visits him every day and brings him soup.
He doesn't want soup.

|summary=As well as being an established author Kim Staflund is also the founder and publisher at Polished Publishing Group, which aims to help self-publishing authors produce the best book possible ('supported self-publishing') and she also has extensive experience in many areas of publishing which she's brought together, not only in her business but also in this book, which does exactly what it says in the title. Publishing a book is an exciting time - particularly for an indie author - but it's also a very steep learning curve because publishing is a mysterious business littered with acronyms, old Spanish practices and mantraps for the unwary. Knowledge is essential and you need it fast.
