Ter,

A big project – I’m looking forward to reading the finished result!

Hey Terry. Let’s hope the roller coaster stays on the track. I like your new cover–even though I liked the first better, I can see why they went with a new one to meet industry standards and “buyer appeal.” If you notice, my first cover had some “plain Jane” that they did away with for a new “modern” look. At least they kept a lot of your original concept. Best of luck! Joe

Thanks Joe. Nice to connect with someone who seems to be sitting next to me on the roller-coaster! I’ll check out your book. Stay in touch…

Hi Terry: That’s great news that you got the block early. My status shows “Post Production Editorial” which I hope means the professional proofreading has begun. You can check out Solemnly Swear at http://www.joeporrazzo.com and see my new cover (starting to grow on me). I think we have a lot in common as our feelings, fears and excitement take over down the homestretch…I started the process in February. Good luck with the author proof.

Hey Joe,

I know what you mean. It seems to take so long. When I started this process in January, I figured I’d be in print by early summer! Earning Publisher’s Choice (good news) lengthened the process considerably (not so good news). In the end, having the novel on a display table in a local Indigo (Canada’s Barnes & Noble) makes the extended production schedule worth it I think. The cover did change. You can see the new cover design on the blog as part of the post immediately prior to this one. I’ve just reviewed the rest of the cover layout for both the hardcover and the trade paperback. Very cool. I also have just received the “book block” all laid out so iUniverse is two weeks ahead of schedule. In three weeks I should have the professional proofreading results and it’s on to author proofing. Hope springs eternal. Love to hear more about your book…

Terry, good luck with the book. But I have to tell you that your latest update sort of depressed me. My iUniverse book is at the same stage…final production and professional proofread…but I’m still hoping for an early September release. Right now they have me working on the marketing plan for my local Barnes & Noble store. Your PSA wouldn’t be Rachele Walter would it? What was the outcome with your cover…did it change? Anyway, best of luck with your release!
