A short while later a certain individual (known to the followers of this blog as “Al”) could be seen happily perusing the contents of the package.
So what is it that I was so happily looking over?I deigned to come out from behind the book, for book it was, and hold it up so Deb could snap me with it.
Veiled in Shadows, Allan Russell, emblazoned across the cover.It’s here, it’s finally here! A proof copy of my very own book!
To hold my work in my hands… what an amazing feeling!
It looks fantastic, exactly as I imagined it. The cover (my design) looks even better than I expected.
To say I am over the moon is an understatement. Publication is just around the corner. I just have to check this proof for errors in layout etc. Once I am happy, I give the go ahead to my printer Lightning Source. Then it will be somewhere between two and four weeks before Veiled in Shadows is available on Amazon, The Book Depository and to wholesalers.
Of course at that point the hard work of marketing my baby begins.
Wow, amazing. A bit scary too, but amazing!
