Publishing and Patience

One of the hardest lessons I've learned as an author is how long it takes for a traditionally published book to come to market. I'm not complaining--but it did come as a shock when I learned I'd have to wait 18 months from signing a contract to the actual book appearing. I thought the time would never pass!

But here we are in 2021 and my fantasy book, Ell, about an unconventional mermaid, will become a physical object in June...which now doesn't feel so far away!

I just have to remain patient for 6 more months. Maybe my novel and the near-end of Covid will arrive together! That would be nice.
