Good News!

Cleon is finally ready for print.  I should receive the first (author's) copy within two weeks or so.  If all looks good, I will sign off and Cleon will go LIVE just in time for Christmas.

For those of you who have placed advanced orders, I THANK YOU.   I will contact you to inform you how to best receive your books, once I know the precise time frame.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Here is one FINAL PEEK  (click on the image to enlarge)

Still Waiting

Today I approved the marketing material for Cleon, The Crooked Tree.   I am, however, still waiting for the 4th round of revisions to the galley to be completed.  Waiting is proving to be very difficult for me.  I can see the finish line, I just can't quite reach it.  Many of you have placed Christmas orders for Cleon and I'm truly doing all I can on my end to deliver.  But for now, I sit and WAIT!

Another BUMP in the road!

My path to print with AuthorHouse has been a bumpy one to say the least.  I received the second round of galley proofs Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately there are (but fortunately they were found) many new corrections to be made.  Most could have been avoided had the design team followed my directions and paid more attention to detail. Oh well.  I've been told it is not unusual to have three rounds of revisions, but it is frustration all the same.

This will set the book launch date back but, Erin, my project leader, has assured me she will personally review the third round of proofs and deliver it within a week.

The book cover has been approved and the retail price for has been set at $12.99.
The discounted web price through AuthorHouse will be $10.99.

I am still anticipating that Cleon, The Crooked Tree will be available for holiday gift giving, so please keep it in mind for the special youngsters on your list.

Until next time... hopefully with the big ANNOUNCEMENT!  Pam
