Willow Brown, American Fairy - Update

I've finished all the final revisions to Willow Brown, American Fairy, the second book in my series about Willow and her mere human companion, Noah Phelps. I've reviewed all my editor's suggestions, adopting some and, well ... choosing not to adopt others. I also put in some last minute new stuff that adds to the fun, like explaining those balls of light that Willow created in An Ordinary Fairy.

The next step is to send the manuscript to my crack team of proofreaders. I ordered copies this morning via Lulu self-publishing, a quick and cheap way to create books for this purpose. I should have them in the proofers hands before Thanksgiving.

So what does a writer do while he waits for the proofers to be done? First, I'll take a break from writing anything for a couple of weeks. I'll read a couple of novels on my Kindle. I've got several lined up. I'll also finish the cover for the new book and start a little promotion on this blog and Facebook. And after a week or two, I'll start sneaking in some time on the third book, titled Willow Brown, Plain Fairy for the moment, of which I've completed about 55 pages.

After the proofers finish, I'll make the corrections and we'll publish. Maybe before the holidays. Maybe not.
