I said i was going to go do one final edit on this book before I publish it. And I’m finding myself making changes on almost every page. Eesh. But it’s mostly minor things like tightening up sentences or clarifying things and deleting things. A lot of deleting extraneous words and sentences. I guess this is good? But part of me is freaking out that I’m making changes this late in the game, even though I’m not changing the substance any, just the details.
So I’m a writer, and I’ve got a couple of books that have been finished for quite a while. And I’ve been talking about just using lulu and self publishing for, well, years. As of right now I have the first book uploaded and basically good to go. It’s not for public sale yet as I want to get my own copy and give it one more read first, plus my amazing graphic designer roommate is working on my cover. Still, I’m not going to lie, I cried when I looked at the proof online, I’ll proably cry more when I have it in my hands.
And trust me, I’ll be letting everyone know when it’s really for sale. It’ll be available in ebook and print. Here’s my backcover blurb for now:
Evan Berger wakes early one morning to pounding on his door. It’s his best friend, Yoshi. “We have to leave. Now, right now, no time to waste."
Too soon he realizes Yoshi has told the truth, and ordinary is gone.
Now Evan and Yoshi are on a hostile road. Every stranger is a threat. Worse, something has changed between them. Can he still trust the man that saved him from fire?
