ARCs for The Language Inside--Arrived!
Look what came in the mail this week! The Advance Reader's Copies (ARCs) of my verse novel The Language Inside.
ARCs of Holly Thompson's The Language InsideI love the border design on the back which repeats on interior pages. Can't wait to see the hard cover when it's published in May.
So my work this coming week is cut out for me--checking and editing the 517 first-pass pages of this, my second verse novel--Orchards was my first. Here's the description for The Language Inside :
