Homestretch. Resurrected Post.
A moment���s digression before I begin: Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo! I wonder, on this wet and drizzly first day of autumn if Tolkien deliberately chose the fall equinox for the Baggins��� joint birthday. Perhaps it was a question of age, both hobbits having entered their autumnal years, if you will, before embarking on their adventures. I don���t know. Any suggestions, readers?
Karl Thorson and the Jade Dagger is in the homestretch. I���m reading the digital galley proofs. I���ve found far fewer corrections to make in this book than any of my previous novels. Perhaps because this one has been so extensively reviewed. Three different editors. Man, have I added, removed, and replaced commas. Every editor, it seems, practices a distinct brand of comma-fu. The point is, the book is nearly ready. I should be finished with my final pass by next week. The novel appears on target for the mid-November release date.
Except���Well, there might be a bit of a hitch. Word is that the cover artist has a backlog of work. Conceivably I might hear from the publisher that the release date will be pushed back. I hope not. But it is out of my hands. In fact, it is in the cover artist���s hands, I suppose.
I���m not going to worry about it. I have plenty of other projects to occupy my attention. More on those when I have something noteworthy to mention.
Enjoy the fall.
