Well, it’s finally here! After months of waiting and wondering, I can tell you that Touch of Fate is expected to come out in trade paperback format in mid-November, 2007!
Last week I received one last round of edits. For those who have bought the e-book, don’t worry. There are no substantive changes. In fact, most of the changes were to formatting, although the new editor did catch a few additional grammatical problems that will happily not make it to the print version of the book. It is, after all, more difficult to change a book once it has been printed.
I can also reveal to you that I added a paragraph of physical description to chapter 2 for those who did not feel that they had a clear enough picture of what Gabrielle and Marianne look like (such as the editor :=) ).
The next step for me is the marketing and promotion of this book. I need to send it to reviewers, set up personal appearances and book signings, and just plain get the word out..
For those who are interested, I will include my tentative promotional plan in a future blog entry. Feel free to comment, ask questions, or offer advice and support.
