It is 11: 21 PM, Central Standard Time. I have just ordered five proof copies (the most allowed) of my book. Estimated time of delivery: only ten days. The review process was pretty quick and only resulted in one error regarding pagination (my even and odd page numbers were reversed). It took me an hour of hangry panic to figure out what I did to cause such a nonsensical problem, but it ultimately resulted in a much more cleanly formatted book (and I did eventually eat some breakfast). Below I have included the full cover image, including front and back. Doug did some mighty fine work here, so you all be sure to tell him thank you on Facebook! The other good news is that I will not only have an actual book for sale in time for the Winona Area Author's Roundtable in 3 weeks, but I will have some tangible copies as well to show and maybe even sell...? But how can I give away my first 5 advanced reader copies (ARCs for those in the biz)? These are signed, numbered, extremely limited, first printing, first edition ARCs that could be worth untold tens of dollars one day! Well, future fans, this could be your golden opportunity to travel back in time to Saturday October 24, 2015 in Winona MN at the corner of Fifth and Main and snatch a copy for yourself. In future money, I'm sure it will have so much value that it will easily cover the cost of research & development and construction of your rudimentary time (and space!) machine. See you soon future fans... -C
