The new novel is being read by two further referees (Robert Anthony and Lis Evans), having been looked at and commented upon thus far by Irene PAYNE, Ian Richardson and my wife Inger. Every reader picks up on different things and spots different anachronisms and spelling and grammatical errors -- so I try to take action on everything, in the hope that the book will end up perfect!
I have already done some tweaking of the original text -- editing out some sections, adding one quite long episode, and tidying up so that the things that happen early in the story have appropriate knock-on effects later on.
When this is all done, the manuscript will be transferred from A4 format to the A5 book format, and there will be another editorial job to do -- this time related to pagination and the appearance of the book.
Printing quotes are in -- and I am still hoping for printing in February, with a publication date set for 1st March 2012.
