The End is Near

The writing of “Powers Trace III, The Live Oak Tree” is complete.

I was beginning to have my doubts whether I would ever get it on paper but it’s finished and I will send it off to the publisher on Friday. I’m taking the next two days to make sure the minor typing errors are fixed, at least the ones that I can find, and then turn it loose. I’ve never sent off a perfect manuscript and I’m sure this will not change that. I will have a chance to review the formatted gallies and approve them one last time before printing so maybe, just maybe I’ll have a book by the end of April. This is a larger book than the first two. 146,000 words which will make about 350 pages.

I ran out of copies of the first book, Powers Trace, a month ago so I ordered a few to have on hand if anyone wants one to begin from the beginning which I  recommend. Not to make a sale but to understand the Town and the people which are covered in more detail in the first book. You get to know the place and the characters that live there. I didn’t carry that level of detail in the next two books because it added to the length of the books and became redundant. 

Powers Trace II, The Ice Age is available.

Come back here for details on the publishing progress. I’ll try to keep y’all up to date. I’ve encountered problems with Xlibris during publication of the first two books, generally administrative screw ups, so let’s hope they handle this book better. I wanted to stay with them for all three books to make the books the same. This is the last one. I’ll find another publisher for future projects.
