Lisa gets a book AND Gilded Hour progress

Contest conclusion: Lisa responded to Kerrie’s question by suggesting Susanna Kearsley’s The Rose Garden, and she’ll get a hard cover copy of Lake in the Clouds — Lisa, please contact me with your mailing address.

On another front, things are moving for The Gilded Hour. I’m working through my editor’s notes, the cover copy has been written (and rewritten, and rewritten, and then approved), and I’ve seen the first go at the cover art. Which still has a way to go, in my view of things. But moving. September is a long time off but the wheels of publishing turn slowly.
