Some people have responded already to my request for endorsements/reviews for the advance copy of John Dunn, Heart of a Zulu. When my publisher asked me to do that, I thought maybe I should wait until after the edits were completed. But she said, no, get started right away, and I did.
A couple gentlemen from the UK have responded, and one of them, Ian Knight, is the world's foremost authority on John Dunn, the Zulus, and the Anglo-Zulu War. It was only a stroke of luck that I was able to get his email address, and his permission to email him, but it happened, and now he has a PDF copy of my manuscript. I advised him that it's not yet edited, but still I look forward to his thoughts.
I've also sent some images to the publisher in hopes their cover design artist can get some ideas on a cover for the book. I included the lithograph of Dunn, and several illustrations from the Internet of Zulus and British soldiers from that era.
So things are rolling, and I look forward to how this pans out. It's even more exciting than when I got my first two books published. Now, my third and fourth books are going to be published. Can't wait.
