These are crazy times

Before the cover for the book was posted on Facebook, the page for my book was very small, only at 69 likes and little amount of quality content.
Then my cover maker, Ros Welpy, sends me the cover and I immediately post it online as the official cover.
Now the page grew to 109 likes and over 2500 people have been reached. This is actually happening. I can't believe that this is happening. In going to be a published author by the end of the summer, G-d willing. This is a dream come true for me. It's just so exciting to be reaching so many people and telling them a story I hope they will never forget. Right now my amazing editor, Lane Ashfeldt, is working on the final draft of the manuscript and hopefully we'll be done by the end of July to release it in August as an eBook. I'm so excited to release it. Maybe I'll stream the release or something exciting like that. When everything is ready, I'll post up more info- when it's being released, where it'll be available, how big it is, what's next etc.
Thanks for the support and see you in the sunlight!

The next step... As of now.

So now that the euphoria of finishing is gone, I can get down to further business than I ever did before (including writing more content for the blog... but that's just me).
I now have an editor helping me put the finishing touches on the manuscript and a cover artist helping shape the book's face. We're all working pretty quick as we're planning to get this book released by early August (YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. THIS BOOK IS COMING OUT IN AUGUST).

For now, that's all I know. If you have any questions, write them in the comments. Otherwise, as of now, I won't be posting any more of the book onto this site, at least up until the end of part I. Not to hurt you, just to keep the appetite there so you can get it for cheap on eBook marketplaces.

Thanks for sticking with me up until this point and see you in the sunlight!!

FINISHED DRAFT #4

I don't know where it will go from here, but as of now, at 68,049 words, Second to the Right is officially DONE! It took a long time to get to this point, and I feel blessed for having gone through this process from page 1 to 264.

The craziest part of this whole process is how I remember first starting to write this in college (I'm still there). Now I'll have published something by the time I graduate. This is spooking me out, especially now that I'm many steps closer than I was before.
