Book has a Title

I was up late last night uploading the book file, designing a cover, writing the back cover copy, etc. of the new urban fantasy/romance novel that now has the title Black King Takes White Queen. It's about a black arts practitioner (warlock) whose evil witch sister sends a demon to kill their father, and him, but he escapes. He texts a white witch, the younger sister of his on-again off-again girlfriend to come pick him up. She's drawn into the war between him and his sister who wants control of a treasure he's now the guardian of. It's the longest novel I've written. I ordered the proof copy tonight. I'll be tweaking it again after Kelly and I do a final read through of the proof copy, marking it all up (she uses purple ink, I use blue ink). Once I'm finished with the proof copy (all corrections & changes made to the file copy) it will be gifted to a random friend who becomes the official first reader and outsider reviewer...and then, if no additional issues are found by that friend, the file is uploaded, the book is approved and it becomes available on Amazon and other bookseller sites within two days. It was over 500 pages long in size 12 font so I knocked it down to size 11 which brought it into the upper four hundreds in length.

So- some progress has been made. The book is written, has been edited and corrected twice, the file has been uploaded, the book cover has been created, the ISBN number has been assigned, the BIAS code has been selected, the text that will be online on the bookseller sites has been written, book release channels chosen, and the proof copy ordered. Then it's back to putting on the editor hat for the final read through, making the last tweaks and corrections...and then a novel is born.

And already another novel is emerging in my head...guess my muse has never heard of such a thing as taking a vacation!
