So the edits for Bringing Stella Home<\/em>\u00a0came in just a couple days ago, and I’m hoping to finish running through them either today or tomorrow. After that comes formatting, then uploading to the various ebook vendor platforms.<\/p>\n

I have to admit, even though this is my second full-length ebook, I’m a little terrified. \u00a0Formatting is always tricky, and I want to try out some new stuff (such as interior images and a logical TOC) that might not carry over well into other formats. \u00a0That, on top of all the usual fears associated with sending your work out into the world, is pretty nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t help that I’m currently working full time–or that a bazillion other things are conspiring to totally eat away this weekend. \u00a0However, I’m determined to get this book out, and to get it out right.<\/p>\n

I don’t currently have any plans for promotion, but I’m not too worried about that. \u00a0I’ll probably put something together when I finish Sholpan<\/em>. \u00a0On that front, I’ve finished the first draft of the novella, but decided to run it through a pretty substantial edit to make it more satisfying for people who read the novel first.<\/p>\n

But…yeah. \u00a0I’ve got the cover art, got the blurb, got the edits, got the interior map…the only thing left is to write up the author’s note and acknowledgments, format the book, and put it up.<\/p>\n

Crazy!<\/p>\n
