Busy, busy as usual with me, but time for a quick catch up post.
I’ve learned a new skill…well at least the basics…InDesign! I helped my darling husband, Tee Morris out with some ebook design for the Ministry Protocol. He however did the more complicated print design. It’s interesting the two different approaches. Print is set in stone, with ebook you have to keep it relatively simple, just to take into consideration the different hardware people will be using to read them.
We just got the proof of the print copy, and I’m in the process with Tee of checking it over. It’ll need a couple of tweaks, then another proof, but after that we should be good to go. It is going to be a very pretty book though from this first round!
We also got the second round of edits for Dawn’s Early Light, and it’s exciting to see the book take shape into something awesome. I really want to get this out into people’s hands. Don’t forget you can totally pre-order it.
Also I am editing Weather Child, and totally handing it over to Tee Tate my go-to freelance editor today. The cover image is being shot by the damned talented Alex White, and I hope to get it out for all your Christmas buying needs.
But we did manage to have some fun this month. Tee and I both attended Authors After Dark in Savannah. It is a wonderful convention for a writer to attend, because you get a lot of quality time with readers. We took a group of charming readers out to lunch at the Pirate House. Wonderful place and wonderful company. We also got to hang out with Delilah S Dawson, Leanna Renee Hieber some of our authors from Ministry Protocol. So all in all a great weekend! Next year it is in Charlotte and I highly recommend it.
Not done yet!
Oh yes, and we won an award. Tales from the Archives won a Parsec award for best anthology/magazine. This makes for three Parsecs in total for the podcast, and three Parsecs between Tee and I (one each, and then one together). It makes for a nice round number. Thanks to Kregg Steppe who picked up the award for us since it was presented at DragonCon.
Think that is the last of it…but I’ll try and keep more atop it.
