Received

My cousin, Dory, said she had received my book as had started working on the proofing! This is exciting. Don't know what she thinks of it, since I haven't really talked to her about it.

Mailed!

Well, I have finally gotten my book mailed to my cousin for proofing. I know I should have gotten it mailed quite a few days ago, but it didn't happen. It still seems strange to think that I will be getting this book actually published! And it won't be many weeks before I begin the process with the publishing house. Is it all a dream? I still remember when I started it. I remember naming my characters. At the time, I had no idea of how real they would all become to me. I hope they become as real to all of you who read it in print in a few months. A few months?! Now that sounds like a dream.

I'll keep you updated with how things are going. Thanks for checking back.

Something new

I just wanted any readers to know that I got my Characters page up if you want to go read it. I also added to the "It all started . . ." page. Take a look. Is there anything else you would like to know about? Leave me a note in the comments if there is, and I'll try to put it on.

Update

I know it has been a while since I last posted. What with Thanksgiving and now Christmas coming, things are busy. I have all the corrections done (until the proofer gets it.:)), and now just have to get the "family tree" page and the dedication/acknowledgements page done. I think the bibliography page is done. Anyone want to guess how many books and/or web sites I used when writing my book?
I hope to get an "introducing the characters" page up here before much longer, so be sure you check back.
I have to get the book in the mail to my cousin before the 17th. I'm hoping to mail it this week.
