The end is in sight. My manuscript is in the hands of the editors and I am doing corrections. In a lot of ways this is the best part of writing. Someone else is reading it. Letting me know if something works or doesn’t.
This is also the time when I check that I have enough clues sprinkled through the story so the reader isn’t surprised by the surprise ending. I like this part. I go AHA! that’s exactly what I meant.
Another big surprise is that the publisher is changing the cover art. Hmm. Although I liked the first effort, the one they showed me today is really beautiful.
I wish I could show it to you today, but not until its accepted by the committee. Same with a tantalizing excerpt. I have several scenes in mind.
By Reservation Only will be a September release from The Wild Rose Press. I’ll give you more information as I get it.
Please follow, friend or like me. I love to hear from my readers.

That's an exciting milestone in the book's life, Barbara! I'm looking forward to seeing the cover and reading the tantalizing excerpt! :-) Enjoy this mini break!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I love that moment when I get my cover. This is a wonderful time when someone else is reading the story. I'm sure you've got a lot going on--getting promotion ready, etc. Try to give yourself a break and breathe.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great time in the process of a book. Hope you enjoy every minute. Best of luck and thank you for sharing the beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Honestly, I thought the first cover was a bit bland. I'm looking forward to seeing the new one!
ReplyDeleteExciting news, Barbara. Love it when the reader 'gets it' the way we planned the plot...and buys into the twist we set up. Easier for a pantser...the villain is a surprise even to me!
ReplyDeleteYippee! It's always exciting to reach this point in the process. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteSo many steps in getting a book released and each one is a bit of a rush. I'm wishing you great sales. But, ultimately, I'm glad you got to write the story you wanted. To me, that's the best part.
ReplyDeleteYou're almost there for sure. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI love that final stage, too, when it all comes together in one big swoop. Congratulations on your new release, Barb!
