I'm doing one last check through Killer Eyes, and then it will be released. That was the wise decision by Melange Books, with which I completely agree. I wanted a couple things done since reading the print proof, and then Nancy suggested I go through it one last time, with emphasis on the word 'last.'
And I did fix a couple more things in there. I will probably finish the last read through by tonight or tomorrow, after which I will send the document back to Nancy, which is when she will release the book. And then I'll be the author of three published books.
And sometime coming up, probably within the next three or four months, which will go by quickly, like they always do, I'll be working with an editor for my John Dunn book. That should be exciting. It's a much longer manuscript, and it's a new publisher, with new editors, and maybe they have a new format, or different procedures, seeing as how they are a print run publisher.
I'm looking forward to having my book in a bookstore for once. One development is that the KRP publisher, Dana, sent out a message to all the KRP authors asking their opinion about the discontinuation of publishing hardcover copies. I voted to keep them, because when a publisher has hardcover copies, that conveys the image of an upper echelon publisher. I happen to know book collectors, and collectors prefer hardcover copies.
Plus, I was looking forward to have a hardcover copy of my John Dunn book. So here's to hoping KRP keeps the hardcover copies, at least as an option. Stay tuned.
