Hello!
If you are a new follower, welcome, I’m really glad to have you on-board.
A brief update this week to let you all know that last night I got the first drafts of two different covers back from Damonza.com - a few tweaks needed of course, but I’m really excited by what they’ve come up with. Because one of them is reeeeaaallly close to what I was envisioning, I’m not going to give you a sneak peak (aaaawww) - but I should be doing the big reveal very soon.
Cheerio
Helen.
Hello faithful readers!!
Well, I was nearly floored today.
I want to thank The Snarky Dark Fantasy Syndicate for backing Wake up Call. It meant the world to me and I don’t know what to say.
You are all wonderful people and I will not let you down.
Just a quick update on where things stand. In the next 24 hours we should be done with developmental editing and sending the manuscript over to copy editing. The manuscript is in really good shape. There are still some typos to fix and a few scenes that we’re working on, but I’m anticipating we’ll knock those out tonight/tomorrow morning.
Copy editing should take about a couple of weeks, meaning we should have a final version of the manuscript going into formatting on the last week of the month. This will enable Inkshares to print "galleys" (promotional versions of the book) by the end of the month, which is very exciting.
In the mean time, I need to do my "author picture" for the inside sleeve of the book. I have something cool in mind, but as I’m not very photogenic, it may not work out. Still, I’ve enlisted the services of my friend and photographer Lai Long whom I believe will endeavor to make photographic miracles happen.
I’m told everything is all set for the book launch at San Diego Comic Con in July. I’m not really sure exactly what it is that we’ll be doing there to promote the book. Maybe I’ll just do a little interpretive teleportation dance while wearing a futuristic LED suit. Probably not that.
So excited you guys. Jazz hands!
