Hello loyal followers!
Long time no see, eh? I'm sorry for the radio (internet?) silence as of late! My life has become a bit of a whirlwind. I gave birth to my son in late September and not only had to recover from major abdominal surgery, but suffered from an unfortunate bout of illness as well. Thankfully now I have fully recovered. Nowadays, in addition to taking care of my new baby I have been on sudden and unexpected job hunt as well. To use a tired metaphor, when it rains, it pours - and I've certainly suffered a few downpours lately... But no matter! Things are looking up and I'm excited to get back to work editing the final draft of the book and getting on with the Inkshares crew again.
Soon I hope to show off some new art related to the novel! Look forward to it!
Sincerely,
Erin
And then there comes the day. The day when the sun shines and you see something beautiful.
Here it is. The official front cover of Asteroid Made of Dragons. The entire team at Inkshares and Girl Friday Production and our designer David Drummond really knocked it out of the park. Tom and Veronica from Sword & Laser were also instrumental in guiding the style of this and I can't thank them enough. If it weren't for all these skilled, talented, kind people - the cover would have probably come out looking something more like this:
How do I feel?
Proud and terrified. This cover is marketable and slick and makes me feel very, very grown up. Also it kind of looks like a Beholder.
I wanted you guys to be the first to see - as you're the ones that made it happen. I'll do an 'official' reveal on my site in the next day or so, but for now GAZE DEEPLY INTO THE ABYSS.
Two weeks ago I received my Developmental Edits from my fantabulous editor Lindsay from Girl Friday Productions -- a day or so before I was beside myself with anxiety and anticipation, so I posted this on Twitter:
Dev edits coming in on Friday. SCREEEOOONNNKKK. Was that my heart making a Godzilla noise? Why yes, yes it was.
