mmegaeraI just got Cross-Country's paper proof copy in the mail late last week. I just finished proofing it today. It's really quite amazing how many more typos and other small badnesses I pick up reading the paper copy than I do reading on-screen (e-reader or computer). Anyway, now all (all, hah), I've got to do is make all the corrections I've marked in the proof copy in the electronic copy, then re-do the InDesign file, then submit it again, then submit the e-copies to Smashwords and Amazon, then I think I'm done with it. Well, except for marketing.
Whew! One thing they never tell you about self-publishing. It's really hard to be an entire publishing company, even if it's only for one's own books.
Oh, and here's the cover:
I hope to have it all done and up (both e and paper) by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. It will, of course, take time after that to percolate out to all of the sales sites.
