We just received two copies of "The Mart" that Jim and I will completely look through and make whatever last minute changes need to be made. Although tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I know Jim and I will be spending most of the weekend reading through "The Mart" ONE FINAL TIME!!! It is always suprising to me the little mistakes or edits that can be missed, no matter how many times we read through the book. And I don't even remember how many times I've read through the book, making edits along the way each and every time.

Sometime later today we'll be sending "The Mart" my latest novel (which includes a collection of short stories) to the printer to get our galley copies. Once we have those in hand we'll read through the entire book one more time, make whatever changes need to be made, and have the book printed and ready for purchase.
The copies of my book, "Me & Them", have arrived and have been shipped out to those who purchased a copy! I hope everyone enjoys reading them and sends me feedback on their thoughts about the book. Authors love getting feedback, especially if it is positive. If there are any negative comments I would like to hear those, too, but you need to let me know what it is about the story that would warrant a negative review.

So the galleys are here...and Thanksgiving is over...and now the final editing begins.
Seems like a long process, doesn't it? That's because it is! The writing of the book, sometimes, is the easiest part. But the editing takes the most time and then getting the book into a format, and also creating a book cover; front, back, and the spine. Also in this particular book, I have lots of photos, some are family photos and others we created to accompany the memory. All of this, and so much more, is what is involved when you self-publish. You are responsible for every stage of creating a book to get it available for publication.

Finally, my latest book, "Me & Them" is at the printers! Of course, this is an initial print of just 2 copies since we have to go through the entire book, page by page, line by line, word by word, until it meets my high standard of perfection. Then and only then will I have copies printed for public purchase.
