Assorted updates

If you're still looking for a chance to read My Soul To Keep or you just want a signed copy (and a Soul Screamers t-shirt!) click here. TeenLibris (love them!) is giving away four sets (MSTKeep + shirt) in the next two weeks.

Today, I will finish the Tod story. (There. I've said it. Now it has to happen, or I've embarrassed myself online.) That's the goal for today. And in my spare time (ha!) I'll be hunting down images and footage for the Alpha trailer, as well as sketching out the outline for that.

Yesterday I turned in page proofs (author alterations, if you write for HQ) for My Soul To Steal. What does that mean? That my part in the process is done. Now, my editor's assistant makes the changes I request, then the book goes through whatever's left of the production process. After that...it's a book.

But boy am I glad I took one more look at the page proofs before sending them in. I'd missed a continuity issue, and at the last minute I decided to change the last few lines of the book, so that it now ends on a slightly different note (though none of the events actually changed).

Also, I received the final version of the front cover for My Soul To Steal yesterday, so I'll be posting it soon. But the one I got wasn't quite a big enough file size for me to show it off properly, so I'm holding out for a bit of a bigger image. So look for that next week, hopefully.

In other news, IF I DIE now has an early version of the cover copy (the description on the back of the book). But no, I can't share it, because it spoils things from MSTSteal. So...now I really need to write the actual book--and make sure it matches the cover copy. ;-)
