This is crunch week on getting my husband's next book ready for print. This means lots of last minute layout tasks for me and lots of last minute art tasks for him. It feels good to be finally getting this done. It has been almost a year since we last got a book out and the financial reserves are running low. We really need the lump of money that comes in when we release a book. The book has to be sent off to the printer by the end of June, because my husband has two conventions in July and one in August. He will not have the time to do book work with all that running around. Besides sending the book to the printer at the end of June means that we'll be handling a book release in early October. That will be just about perfect because the kids will be settled in school before the craziness that is caused by shipping out thousands of books in a single week.

That's

What
an
accomplishment
:)

That's
cool!
I
have
always
wanted
to
write
a
book,
and
everytime
I
start,
I
stop.
I
was
thinking
about
writing
an
e-book.
As
much
as
I'm
at
the
computer
everyday,
that
makes
more
sense
for
me.
What
is
the
book
about?
What
type
of
book
is
it?
I
sure
do
hope
you
guys
make
a
bundle
off
of
it.
Wish
me
luck,
too.
It's
crunch
time
for
me
as
well!!!
I
hope
you
have
a
great
day!

My
husbands
books
are
compilations
of
his
serial
comic
strip
found
at
schlockmercenary.com.
It
is
a
science
fiction
comic
that
has
been
running
daily
for
8
years.
Now
we're
trying
to
get
all
of
those
strips
into
print.
My
book
is
a
children's
picture
book
that
I
wrote
because
my
daughter
needed
a
metaphor
for
controlling
her
impulsive
ideas.
It
is
called
Hold
on
to
Your
Horses
and
can
be
found
at
www.holdontoyourhorses.com.
So
far,
my
Husband's
books
pay
our
bills
and
my
book
has
yet
to
break
even,
but
then
I
don't
have
8
years
of
fan
base
behind
my
project,
so
we'll
see.

Good
luck
with
all
of
your
last
minute
crunch
work!
Back
in
the
stone
age
of
computers,
my
husband
published
a
few
different
computer
magazines
(monthly)
and
I
remember
him
practically
working
round
the
clock
to
get
it
to
the
printer.
It's
a
ton
of
work.
Hope all goes well. |
