RotB is Alive!
Quick note to all that I hold in my hands the RotB proof!
Slightly behind schedule, but recovering nicely
Now to inspect it. A quick once-over reveals that the cover needs to be lightened, a font restored, and interior art tweaked — but all-in-all, I’m very happy indeed.
Final numbers come in at 356 pages and over 150k in words. No matter what the critics say
, there’s 21 awesome stories, a fantastic forward and inspiring introduction, and totally sweet cover art with a terrific blurb from E.E. Knight on the front and 6 different back cover blurbs from folks like Richard Horton, John Ottinger, Nathan Meyer, Theodore Beale, Peadar O. Guilin, and Aaron Bradford Starr.
Now to get the final text and cover files adjusted, converted, and submitted to the printers…all while working overtime at the bill-paying job, packing and moving from one house to another where I’ll have to finish a bedroom and a bathroom, over a holiday weekend…atop the normal daily life of kids and family schedules.
So keep all them fingers crossed, please!
