Random Thoughts, Notes, & Incidents

My book is moving along in the route to print. Last week I proofed the book block, and it looks very good. I like the way they laid it out, the fonts they chose, et cetera.

I didn't like their initial attempt at the cover design. I'd written out my cover concept, but they went way over-board and gave back something completely un-related to any of the stories inside. I re-wrote the concept, with extreme detail on should - and should not - be included. Now, I'm anxiously awaiting the second (and hopefully final) version.

Once everything's approved, it should be only about two months (give or take a couple of weeks) before the book is ready for release. Now, I'm already trying to figure out what to do for the next book...
