Proof Copy Arrived Today

The printed proof copy of Talon: The Familiarity of it All arrived in the mail today. There is always such joy in opening a package and seeing your book in print for the first time, taking it out, holding it in your hands and flipping through the pages...and, with the eye of a critic, already spotting little things you want to change and fix before you let it go out into the vast world to entertain readers.

I need to track down my blue pen and get to work, but in the meantime, I finished editing, proofreading, and doing the final review of the fourth book in the series today, at breakfast and then this evening after dinner.

There will be one more book in the series featuring Dr. Giles Talon and Bryce Briscoe's son, Cayle. In a perfect world maybe his story should have come next but I'm not one to stifle my muse just because stories come an out of sequence order.

The first three books in the series need to be read in order, but books four and five can be read independently and in whatever order the reader wants.

So sayeth the author...
