I chose to send the final manuscript of An Ordinary Fairy out to a group of proofreaders (17, in the end) who could help weed out those annoying little mistakes that creep into a large document over three years of writing and revising. Turns out I chose some busy and thorough people to be in that group, so I've had to push my publication schedule back a few more weeks. I hope to have the final manuscript ready to go by the end of January. I've been cataloging the fixes as they come in (about 150 so far) and when I've actually applied them to the manuscript, I'll make one last read myself, just to be sure all the corners are tucked in.
I have the final cover art file in my hands - thanks to Julie Fain for allowing me to use her wonderful picture "Fairy at Sunset" for the front cover, and for providing the design and fabrication work for the back cover as well.
Stay tuned - I'll announce the final publication date and availability on amazon.com as soon as possible.
