Crossing i’s and Dotting t’s

We are nearly done finalizing the copy edited manuscript for book one of our trilogy! Writing a book has proven to be so much more ridiculously complex than we could have ever imagined. Just to put it into perspective, we started working on the seeds of this project back in 2006 and began writing it full time back in March of 2011. Even things like settling on a title that suits everyone’s needs turns out to be rather involved. But Disney-Hyperion, our publisher, has been enthusiastic about the project, and this train keeps right on rollin’. It’s been an astounding learning process for us so far, and we are getting better at this thing every day.

In the meantime, we are very eager to jump into the illustration process for a change of pace. And, of course, we have been stoking the fires on book two, which is even bigger and badder. We’ll keep you posted on how that adventure is coming along, providing whatever information we can.

And we thought writing book one was an exercise in insanity. . .
