Out Into the World…

There is something nerve-racking about putting a new novel out into the world for someone else to read. Yet, there we have it. My manuscript has been sent into the world for initial feedback. Yes, the re-writing and the self-editing phase for The Roots of Infinity has been completed. After sixteen-plus drafts, the final manuscript (first shareable copy) is being passed to my editor and first readers.

Luckily, I'm working with the same editor, Oren Eades, whose expertise and keen eye helped to enhance my last series, The Mage's Cradle. I'm also lucky to have MJ (Jane) and Sid volunteer as my first readers. They, too, will provide editorial comments, I'm sure. I have three more first readers to hand this to in the upcoming week.

I've crafted a synopsis I'm happy with.
------------------------------------------
Synopsis:
The Yuna Tree, the Eternity Tree, the Boundless -- regardless of how it is named, whispered tales of old say that the Yuna Tree's gnarled, ancient branches reach through space, time, and even different realities. For those who have the magic to see it, the Yuna Tree is the soul of the galaxy, touching every planet with its infinite limbs. However, the Yuna Tree is not the only Eternity Tree in existence. Another galaxy with an insidious nature is slowly growing, seeping across the realm of the Yuna.

In space, two celestial bodies collide. The Urmol is merging with the Yuna. Opposing forces cannot coexist. Ripples are created through space and time that render, rip apart, eradicate, and change people forever. Magically gifted outcasts from different worlds discover a secret they share in common that could save everyone they hold dear, and that makes them the hunted target of the evil heart of an entire galaxy.

Below is the elevator pitch:

The Roots of Infinity is one step closer to being released -- finally. The editing process is unpredictable. However, I hope to get this into your hands soon. Pre-sales will start once I get a better sense of how long the editing process will take.

I am getting there! Speak soon.
