misslj_authorSo I have my final cover art for Life and Nothing But now and oh. It's so beautiful. I stared at it for a good ten minutes in awe at how beautiful it is. The novella is out on the 25th in the US (so the 26th here, I'm guessing), which is when I shall post links and such and a preview of the cover. Which is beautiful, I say again.
The editing process with Bonnie has been amazing. I've learned so much while working with her and I'm enormously grateful to her for everything she's done to bash this story into saleable shape. The whole experience with Noble has been wonderful.
In wip news, I'm at 3K words on my Byzantine Empire period novel, which I'm amusing myself by calling my Byzantine road trip novel. Basically, because that is what they're doing - road tripping across central Asia, along the Silk Road, from Constantinople to the Chinese city of Hangzhou. That one's not far along yet soley because of the research. I'm assured that no one will really be fussed if I'm wrong or fudge over some details, but that isn't the point. *I* will be fussed, because I'm a research geek and a history geek. So, I am fussing, natch.
The other one, my Archangels novel, is nearly at 10K words. This is good, except my two mains have yet to do anything more than gaze soulfully and longingly at each other when they think the other isn't looking. Mind you, there's trouble afoot in that universe, so the course of true love will take a while yet.
Other than that, the joints hurt and I'm tired and sore, but it's a day ending in Y, so onward I go. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, whatever you're doing.

I am very curious about the specifics of this, if you care to elaborate in private. ;)
