Prelude

I am almost back in the blogosphere. Not tonight though because I am pooped.

However I just had to share . . . drum roll please . . . .

Timothy and the Dragon's Gate is finished!

Okay, finished is a relative term. I still have to do edits with my editors and stuff, but as of last night I have emailed off the manuscript to my agent and editors and I am thrilled.

Seriously.

Wasn't sure I had it in me. I've been working on this book for almost a year now. It's been on my mind longer than that. Heck, I even had the stereotypical sleepless nights because of it.

And it's finished.

Sort of.

Relatively.

And I am pooped.

  1. I never doubted you for a minute.

    The cats did, though. The cats were getting worried they wouldn't get to read the next installment.

  4. Oh, man, and I haven't even *started* AATIG yet! I've given up on them getting around to cataloguing copies at work and I've just gone ahead and ordered the darn thing from Amazon.
