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.

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.

Mary said...

Wow. Congratulations!!!

You deserve a day off and a good night’s sleep.

Glad the play’s going well. Here’s another lucky wish* for the final week!

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.

I just finished Alex and the Ironic Gentlmen, it was great fun. I've got all my siblings lined up to read it too. I look forward to the next one.
