Picking up speed

Working with designer Bill Porch, some 15 book covers have been designed for review. And the line edits have hit my desk from Henry Oehmig at Jefferson Press. We've shown the covers to approximately 25 people in our informal research and narrowed the designs to three, plus a variation of one of those three. These went to the publisher for review and feedback from his distribution company cover design specialists. From there we plan to focus on variations of one cover.

I moved two weeks ago to a new house, after living in the same place for 19 years. Between that packing and unpacking, and thousands of little irritants of moving and having this light switch not work or that window leaking, focusing on edits has actually been somewhat of a relief. I'm nearing the end of rewrites and cleaning up line edits on four of the final ten stories we settled on.

I'll try to insert the final four covers as art in the blog if I can...see ya.
