Oh the wheels of publishing grind along slowly! But at Inkshares they do continue to grind.

My time-travel-baseball novel "Going, Going, Gone!" is now in the department of copy editing, with a great copy editor who is a baseball fan. How long will this take? If I had to bet, I’d say six weeks. Then it’s on to the other stations of book production.

2020 has not turned out the way anyone predicted. So I appreciate that the book process is moving along. I appreciate good health, good air (when the wind blows out the bad), and a great family. I appreciate being able to watch the game on TV, listen on the radio, watch kids practicing on our local field, and I appreciate playing catch with my son.

One moment from the writing process: I was listening to a game through the MLB app, writing a scene about a game in 1906, when my son walked into the room, grabbed a bat, and began loudly crushing his bungee-cord batting machine. Baseball in my brain, in my ears, and before my eyes.

I’ve spent seven years working on "Going, Going, Gone!" What’s another few months?

Sincerely,

Steve

    His journalism career ended badly. Hers hasn’t started. If they can’t discover who robbed a San Francisco museum, they’ll both wind up in the obituaries. Order now for some high stakes larceny!

    Concerning the book: We’ve updated Chapter 1, reposted with changes from the latest edit. We submitted a full re-edit in February, in hopes of getting the book published by April. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, as the coronavirus crisis affected a whole stream of the publisher’s projects. But we’re still pushing and we appreciate your patience and your faith in us.

      STEVE HERMANOS APRIL BASEBALL UPDATE

      GOING, GOING, GONE! The final draft of the time-travel baseball novel has been submitted. We are looking to set a publication schedule by the end of this month.

      BASEBALL FANATICS, I would LOVE to have an electronic edition of the novel available as soon as possible, to bring many fun hours of this rollicking baseball story to you. It’s especially timely right now, when there are no new games to watch. 

      BASEBALL FANATICS, I urge you to grab a baseball (even a tennis ball) and toss it with a friend, or against a wall. We don’t have to get our kicks from watching other people play the game we love, and then whine about not being able to watch. Even for one minute a day, play it!

      CONTACTO! (as we used to encourage our teammates stepping up to bat on the baseball fields of NYC): I’m getting some good baseball traction on Instagram, listed under my name. Feel free to email me at stevehermanos@yahoo.com. I check Facebook every week or so.

      THANKS AGAIN to everyone who participated in the successful crowdfunding campaign for GOING, GOING, GONE! Even more than you are, I’m looking forward to holding the book in my hands!

      Your baseball-loving friends can pre-order GOING, GOING, GONE! at Inkshares.com

      Swing For The Fences!

      Steve
