IT’S DONE!!! Yes. I’m SCREAMING IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS! Now to get it into the template and send it off to the publisher! Publication date is approximately the end of the month, closer to Halloween than previously expected, but that’s okay! I finished SHIFT! Okay. Now that I’ve got that out of my system, here’s the artwork!

I promise to keep everyone updated on the publication date as we draw nearer. In the meantime, enjoy your autumn, and play in the leaves!

Have I ever mentioned how much I loath editing? Well… I do. Why? Because killing my darlings is just no fun. On the other hand, it’s a much better story when it comes out. Sort of like taking a car to the carwash. Okay. I’m back off to rewrite one of the scenes. It wasn’t urgent enough, tense enough. Then I just need to finish editing the last scene, and we’re golden for round two of crits! Woohoo!

Another crit in today, this one from DL Hungerford! I’m in the middle of editing, but I’ll apply your comments as well! There aren’t many but I do like them!
