The last three months have been a classic case of work and life interfering with things like trying to keep a blog going. But, at last a break in the clouds, my totally rewritten book, Harry Heron; Midshipman's Journey is about to go into print. It has been a long time coming, largely because the publisher, IndieGo Publishing LLC, wanted a major revision, then asked for some big rewrites, and finally some completely new chapters ...
Finally, we are there. We have the book edited, formatted, ISBN'd, and the cover designed. Now we have just a few small 'technical' problems with uploading the template for the cover to Lightning Source, and the book will be in print. I'm thrilled with the result, and wish I could have worked with a professional editor like Janet Angelo of IndieGo when I first ventured into writing fiction. There are a whole slew of pitfalls (pratfalls) I could have avoided had I been able to do so. No matter, we have finally got there. Here is a taster - the cover of the book.
The cover is designed by Kura Carpenter of Kura Carpenter Design, who, as usual, has produced a fabulous cover.
