Author Update

Print & Audio:

Proofreading and formatting for the print book are complete! The ebook is being formatted now. I’ve requested the cover template from the printer and forward it to the cover designer for the finished cover with spine and back and review snippet from The Wishing Shelf.. Then I’ll send it to the printer: Bethany Press. I should have print copies in stock by the first or second week of March, but the ebook will be available on March 1st.

Finally, Edits are Complete!

Diligent work on this novel all 2023 has finally come to an end. END! Did I say that out loud? Yes. Yes, I did. After the major edit and the minor edits were addressed, I combed through the book (now 75,000 words in all, thank you) three times for minor things. Once in Word, once in ProWritingAid, and once listening to the computer read to me (in a British voice which I loved). It amazed me how many little things were missed with each pass. Each method has its strengths, but together, I’m hoping it’s perfect.

Home…

What a wonderful word. Just mentioning it brings thoughts of warm apple pies, a cheery fire in the winter, or maybe a family game of bocce ball in the summer. Just saying it feels good, doesn’t it?
