Jeyna Grace's latest update for The Battle for Oz

May 16, 2015

May 17, 115 years ago, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published. It has been a while, hasn't it? Yet Dorothy is still a wide-eyed teenager in The Battle For Oz. Time is almost non-existent in the realm of fiction.

In reality though, it has been a few months since I last left you an update. Being that today is Oz's 115th anniversary, I believe it is my duty to fill you in on what's going on.

So, let's start with the editing. The Battle for Oz has finally gone through all stages of peeling and dicing. The professional chefs in the editorial department has helped me spice up the novel with lots of red ink. As scary as that sounds, it did the novel good. Now all it needs is a plate to be served on. Which brings me to the design. 

The current cover you see will not be used for the final book. That's because it only features one main character. Characters have feelings too and I don't want to give Dorothy all the limelight. Hence, a new cover is being designed. I'll have a cover reveal once the design is final.

For now, everything is running smoothly and the book is due in September. I cannot wait to share it with you and I'm looking forward to the day where I can hold it in my hands. It's a dream come true. So thank you for investing in me and this book. I really appreciate it :)

By the way, I'm currently discussing with a few of my contacts about coming up with a t-shirt for the book! The artist who did the Dorothy cover will be doing the design(s). So those who love this current cover will get to see similar art on cloth instead of paper. More on this later as it is still in the discussion phase.  

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll be back with more updates as the book moves forward. Exciting times ahead! Till then, happy Sunday.
