Proof number two

care, new books, printing, proof, publishing

So, if I had checked the first proof properly, I wouldn’t have had to scrap the first print run. Thankfully it was only a small run of 20 for family. Nevertheless, unnecessary cost.

The latest proof, some 10 weeks after the first, has delayed proper advertising and sales. However, I am pleased with the revisions as I took the opportunity to change THE GREATEST GIFT slightly to assist my sequel DRIFTING SANDS, now well under way and building nicely into a thrilling adventure.

Anyway, back to book one, now available in paparback, eBook and ePub versions from my website from next week. http://www.balneaves.co.uk

I hope you enjoy it, I enjoyed writing it.

New book, printing, proof

Well, the proof is here and it’s looking good. The cover sits well and is evenly set round the spine, all the chapters start on facing pages as planned, the numbering works and the finished book is 25mm thick.

It is so pleasing to see the culmination of five years work in my hand.

Order the first print run.

Now, the promised sequel, get that mind working.

Disappointment

disappointment, late, post, postal service, printer, proof

The proof of THE GREATEST GIFT was due yesterday, it didn’t arrive, most disappointing.

Was it due to our postal service here in the UK or did my printer not send it out on Friday as they had promised?

Looking forward to tomorrow now though, exciting times indeed.
