Blog Post 110

Even as I read I noted some necessary changes, and have incorporated those. The effort goes onward, if slowly. Word count now stands at 93.5 K and page count at 190, but these will vary as the draft moves towards final form.

The Riverside Writers Group just held their end of the year meeting, accompanied by a choral group from Spotsylvania High School, and a member singing in Hebrew. Awesome holiday delicacies were shared by members … then the library abruptly closed due to inclement weather.

The glossary that were planned have been eclipsed, with all terms defined within the text.  Narrative segments are swiftly being transformed into dialogue.

Sooley Base will be available for eBook readers through Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com by the end of the year. The publisher, BookBaby.com, unfortunately is not set up to market two novels in one package. So the new novel will be on sale for $3.99.

The dedication and acknowledgements for the novel have been finalized. Let me share the list of those who have contributed to Sooley Base, and again say THANK YOU!
