Almost

It’s almost that time. The time where I make one more pass through Next Time in final preparation for publishing. I've been thinking February 1st is the time to kick off that effort, which means putting on hold the current novel I’m writing. The timing kind of stinks since I’ve been getting into a rhythm with the story, but in order for the new book to come out this spring I need to get it in the pipeline. That means an 8-10 week lead time once I start the publishing process. So, if I set the wheels in motion by mid-February, that puts the release date in late April or early May, depending on how much back-and-forth there is with the proofs. One thing I’m curious about: the cover. With First I had a concept for the book cover and gave prompts to the publisher, and they came through with an awesome rendering. With Next Time I have no idea what the cover should look like. I guess I’ll know it when I see it.
