FIREBIRD DECEPTION edits are turned in. The book is in bed. I am soooo impatient to see the cover for it! *laugh* I keep checking at Amazon, but no luck yet. Sneeef! But it’s all done, hooray, and that is good! Aaaand what else. I got the press release for THUNDERBIRD FALLS today. *laugh* It just struck me that last year when these things were arriving–cover flats, press releases, turning final edits in, etc, I kept hardly believing this was happening. It seems I’ve adjusted. :)
*laugh* I tell ya, this being ahead of NY is very handy. I got the edits off around, I don’t know, 3:30 or so my time, which was still *morning* for the editor, so he was all pleased to have gotten them so early in the day. I luff it. :)
One of the pipe-dream “If Urban Shaman goes into a second printing” things that Ted and I had discussed was using some of the hard-earned royalty money to support my comic-book-writer-wannabe career. There won’t actually *be* any royalty money from that for rather a while, but with the long-term possibility in place, I’ve been looking for artists.
The calibre of art that shows up in your mailbox when you say, “I can pay,” is really pretty high. I’ve got a handful of pretty cool potential leads, and I can’t wait to see where that goes. Wherever it goes, it’ll be slowly, but I think it’ll be a fun project to try. *cheerfulness*
