Big news regarding The Soldier's Sympathy! As of last night, I've submitted my final edit to CreateSpace. From here they format it for print and apply the pre-selected interior design options. I do not know the release date, but will inquire with them if this is something that I control. More to come!

I cracked open my edited manuscript. There is red. A lot of red. I'm setting a goal of one chapter a day to edit the editors edits.

I received word back from the editor today, while I have a lot of work to do, here is the overview they left:
The Soldier’s Sympathy is a sweeping science-fiction/cyberpunk novel with an intriguing cast of characters; a complex, multilayered plot; and positive, profound messages and themes. As a novelist you have a tremendous knack for creating suspense and delivering thrilling action scenes and many unexpected twists. Although the plot is quite frightening and grim at times, you punctuate it extremely well with appropriately placed humor. Overall the novel is fantastic and epic and had me turning the pages from start to finish.
And some closing comments:
I also would like to add that it’s rare to come across writers who have such tremendous skill for storytelling, action, suspense, and character development. You didn’t just write a novel—you’re a high-caliber novelist.
Not sure if this is standard for the company, but so encouraging nonetheless!!

Editing has officially begun. Hopefully I didn't make things too bad for the CreateSpace editing team.
