T-Minus 10 hours.
Special thanks out to all the beta readers for their help, like always. They collectively caught over one hundred and fifty typos, brains farts, and just you-could-say-this-better this go around. Also lots of kind comments that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Given how hard this was, given it was 70% written on a cell phone, that much of the editing was ol' paper and red pen, and ya know, it's a 800 page novel about magic school...you wonder if you've lost your mind and it's nice to have a dozen people tell you that no, you're not crazy, this is fantastic and I enjoyed it very much.
I hope the wider fanbase finds it just as enjoyable...actually I hope the wider fanbase just finds it period given how long it's been since the last full KH novel!
Like I said before, this month will be pretty nuts doctor wise (8 appointments and counting), especially with me starting physio, but I'm still finding time here and there to work on the Vicky novel and WAR TO END ALL WARS. Check the status updates as always for the most up-to-date info.
I will be back when I click the button and then again when I have a link for you all. Although...I'm sure many of you will be bumping up my "Richard Raley" search metrics on your kindle come midnight. Reminder that it is MY midnight over in California, so don't get carpel tunnel for no reason, British fanbase!
Getting to be a beta reader is a privilege, because I get to read an advance version, as well as making me feel better about all the errors I miss in my own stuff. (Sigh). Will also do my part to promote this most recent book (as well as your others in whatever small way I can.) You have my eternal gratitude for your kind words and mentorship when I finally got serious about putting my own stuff out there in the world. Here's hoping that "Seismic Semester" gets the attention in deserves and that all the medical stuff goes great AND helps you feel better. Last, overachieving f-tard (hat tip KH) that I am, I have my review typed up and ready to go. And no, it is not just fan-boi squeeing- there's actual analytical thought involved.
