Meanwhile, back at the desk…
Happy May Day. I can now get back to my usual routine and currently, that’s editing proofs of a pen name novel which needs to be ready by next weekend at the latest. Once the proofs are done, it’s a case of doing the layout, which doesn’t take that long and then checking through before sending it up to be published. This is part two of a series, and meanwhile, part one is out and being talked about on a book/blog tour where blog owners take in titles, review them or simply publicise them. That tour runs for the next two weeks, and the ten unique posts and interviews I wrote for the various sites mention that part two will be out in early May, hence the steaming ahead on part two – while, incidentally, part three remains in first draft form and waiting in the wings. That’s appropriate as it takes place in an opera house. It also involves blackmail and the King of the Netherlands, Wilhelm III, but that’s another story. The point here is, as you can see, I do more than visit Neil at the bar after his working hours. (I also visit during working hours.)
What I’ve not been doing so much of is taking photos, but those I found for today I took from Neil’s phone, so you have him to thank for the artistry.
