Rather than, you know, just coming here to check. <br /><br />Have just seen your cover up, at EC! It looks amazing. And I had almost the exact same experience as you, re: the 96 pages and all the different editing and the like. I kind of find it a relief, tho- to have a publisher (and another publisher. TEB do the same things) who is so involved in getting a quality product out there, and goes over everything thoroughly. Nice to have cover requests, too!Charlotte Stein aka The Mighty Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938045078503792108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-24496853694974381772010-08-27T09:02:02.743+01:002010-08-27T09:02:02.743+01:00So happy for you, Janine!

Well worth the dropped semicolons (Though I mourn each one individually).<br /><br />Yep, writing American is going to have to become second nature for me.

Much larger, anyway...<br /><br />I confess I've been writing in 'American' for a while because some of my science fiction (published under my real name) goes there.
