I have been known to share my rants with the publishers! ;-)
On a corollary, I have always wondered why your signature has a lower case s.

If you can all excuse a 30-second rant?
I wish publishers would hire editors that understood basic English grammar.
When a surname, or family name, is "Simons," the possessive is never
"Simon's." I'm working on a book that has that error in possessives for
surnames that end with an "s" throughout the original printed book.
Instead of an accolade, I'm awarding this publisher a "Smack-o-lade" -- 10
smacks on the hand with an old wooden ruler by a grammarian.
Grr.
