A Death in Spring: 1968. M/S sent to publishers

I sent the M/S for A Death in Spring off to the publishers today. There is a theory called the Pareto Principle that suggests that in any task 80% of the job can be done in 20% of the time, while the remaining 20% of work will take up 80% of the time. That's definitely the case with writing.

The book has been finished now for a month but proof reading, corrections and minor changes have taken an age to do. That's my way of saying that the book will probably now be out in November and not October. My apologies.

All I can say is that the editing and polishing that has gone on in the last month has improved the book.

Cheers,

Jim
