Xmas Carol update

Lately I've been quiet about Xmas Carol, my horror novel. This does not mean it's been shunted off to the sidelines. Quite the opposite -- I've been working every single day on the manuscript. It's a much better book than it was six months ago. Of this, I'm sure. The edits have gone very, very well.

In fact, I think I've got the final version in my hands right now. But I won't know until I read it again...and I'm hesitant to do this. It's such a monumental moment in the history of this book. I could be thrilled...or not.

I've read Xmas Carol so many times -- at least 30. Gotta read it once more and then maybe it's time to send it into the world so you can read it, too. No matter what the verdict, it'll be released soon, guys. Xmas Carol is about to become a part of the literary landscape.

And it's going to shake some people up. Truly.

It's not OCD, after all. Woot!

With all the editing I've done on my horror novel, Xmas Carol, I confess I was beginning to wonder if I was nuts. Would I ever finish the editing process? Or would I do it for the rest of my life, always finding myself changing the wording each time I read it?

Well, it turns out I'm not crazy! There is actually an end in sight. In fact, the chapters I'm leaving behind me as I work my way through the book this time -- are perfect. I heartily approve of every word.

Seriously, I was beginning to wonder (and you were too, I know). I think I'm somewhere in chapter 8, and there are only 12 chapters. So two more days and I should be done. Then I'll just have to assemble the book and sprinkle it on all the stores.

Snap! I'm not crazy! Hooray!

Here's some news: I'll post the cover tomorrow. So get back here then if you know what's good for you. Wait'll you see the cover Casey came up with. It's insanely wonderful.
