Hello, Hello everyone! I hope that you've had a rocking holiday so far. I have been busy with family, shopping, getting ready for the holidays and, of course, editing my novel. And for the first time in a very long time, I can say I'm finished. Literally, all I need to do now is to give it a quick read through, to make sure that all of my changes work well and then it will be ready to go. I think I have a title now, so I'll probably be ordering a cover in the next four or five days. Which means I should be able to start sharing hints of it in the next week or so! I am super excited.
That said, this will be a super quick update so that I can get back to work. I've been working on some artwork over the holidays, and it's all turning out really well. I got some really kickass books to read as well as one book I'm keeping with the weirdest error I've ever seen before. The book is labelled and covered as Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare, but the actual book inside is Stephen King's 11/22/63. I could return it and pick up an un-erred copy of the novel, but I totally think I'm going to keep this one and see if I can get it signed by both authors.
Oh, my Jolabokaflod gift for this year was Jade City by Fonda Lee. I remember that a friend of mine, Calvin Jim, had mentioned it during a panel at last year's When Words Collide on Asian fiction. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I remember being super interested in reading it and so I was exceptionally pleased to receive it. I gave my husband a hardcover of John Scalzi's Old Man's War. He seems to be enjoying it so far. I can't wait to start mine, but I'm about a quarter way into a re-read of Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan right now, so I have to finish that up first.
Okay, with that said, I'm going to sign out now and start editing. Reading should only take two to three days at most and then I'll be able to start doing things like giving you guys dates for release and cover reveals and fun stuff like that.
In the meantime, tell me what your favourite gift was, or what books you got or gave this season that you were excited about and why? Or perhaps a story of misprints you've found in a book?
