Bolt's Landing in Proof Stage
A new novel will be coming out later this month. Bolt's Landing is in the proof stage where I've done the editing and review for grammar, typos, punctuation errors, spacing, and such. At this point I indulge in a printed proof copy and read it through for continuity issues I may have missed and story flow. If I need to make any fixes from the proof it usually goes quickly. Here is the back cover copy:
