A new zombie book. Soon. I promise.

I received the second round of Earth: Elements of the Undead edits on Friday and I'm busy making minor tweaks throughout the manuscript. Once that's done, it goes back to my editor for a quick once-over and then it's off for two rounds of intense proof-reading.

So what?

This is light at the end of the tunnel time. The book is done. What remains is cleanup, and minor cleanup at that. I always find this stage of the process kind of anti-climactic. The book is what it is (can't stand this expression) at this point. I've told my story and I've rewritten it countless time. My editor has pulled it apart and put it back together again and deemed it acceptable.

Soon, it will be time to unleash it upon the reading public and see if it sinks or swims.

I can't wait.

  1. Another Tucsonan here, chomping at the bit to get my (e)mitts on the third installment. When it comes to new ebooks, patience is not my strong suit!

  2. Very cool!I love hearing another Tucsonan is reading my stuff! The manuscript is in the hands of the proof readers at the moment.That process takes anywhere from a week to ten days.. so we're very close.

  3. Discovered Fire via Amazon, and quickly devoured it in one day. Just bought and finished reading Air, was a little disappointed that it was so short but I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Elements!! Keep up the good work! A new fan in Hawaii :)

  4. @hawaiishoegirlie thanks! You'll be happy to know Earth is right around the same length as Fire.
