Gearing up for spring!
To say this month is going to be a busy one would be an understatement. Not only do I have craft fair scheduled heavy at the beginning of the month, I'm right in the thick of getting The Gangster's Mistake ready for publication in April.
It was just announced on social media that the release date will be April 19. To meet this date, I still need to complete the interior and exterior. The interior is the book guts and how all the pages fall together, including the copyright page, my author bio, acknowledgements, and in this one I'm including an author's note because of sensitive content. The exterior is the front cover, spine and the back cover, which is done except if my reviews come back with a 5-star I can include the emblem.
When I got my developmental edits back mid-February, it took me a few days to digest. Luckily, I was on vacation (hahaha, writers don't get vacations and you'll read that on my dedication page in this book). My editor had some brilliant suggestions and feedback to tighten it up, but I usually put forth more effort than just going with her suggestions. The result ended so much better than I expected. To be honest, I surprised myself! Stay tuned, and happy reading!
