My tech skills—an oxymoron of the first order—were challenged once again this past week when I added PayPal to my website. (See right side of this page). “Set up your account in just minutes!” PayPal told me. Minutes for some, I'm sure, but for me the usual red flag.
Setting up the account took two hours. (I guess we could call that amount of time “just minutes.”) Having provided all the information, I counted down from ten and hit the final key for lift-off, only to confront the dread notice “Temporarily Unable To Upload Page.” Arrrrrrgghhhh! (Not a piratical arrrrggghhhh, but the groan of a soul in technological hades). Finally, after numerous attempts, I called PayPal’s Help Center, waited through what I suspect is an obligatory fifteen minutes of PayPal advertisements, and spoke with a young man named Lucas, who in less than ten minutes solved my problem.
So there it is. If you’d like to order a book directly from me, you hit the button on the right side of this page. All the books are listed in the title box. The price for each book is $11, with free shipping. If you want something written onto the front page of the book—a signature, a note to your mother-in-law, a benediction for a friend—please shoot me a message by Facebook or email. I ordered a book myself, to test the system, but found no place for special instructions. Probably missed it.
I promise to ship your orders promptly. I will likely be using Media Mail, so if you need a book faster, please order it through Amazon.
If we run into a glitch, just email me and I will do my best to correct the problem.
Thank you!
