Frustrated And A Half!
Finally, after almost a year of writing and researching (the research consisted mostly of doing the dishes) I have finished my new book CHILLies! Sichuan Food Made Easy.
It looked so alluring with the iBook thing; good layout, easy to use. I thought publishing it would be a piece of cake: Click File, then Publish, maybe tick a few boxes over at iTunes and see up to $5 a month roll in!
But that didn’t happen. Because the book isn’t completely free (cheap, but not free) I have to go through the US tax system something or other, apply for something called EIN (no idea) from the IRS and for that I need a social security number.
What? Can only Americans publish books on iTunes now? This can’t be happening!
