Currently I'm this close **touches forefinger nearly to thumb** to finishing up editing my Bow Street Runner manuscript and hitting send. I will finish it today, and when I do, I shall eat cake. Anyone else out there love cake? Chocolate, with chocolate mousse filling, and chocolate frosting. Maybe a sprinkling of walnuts on top. Of course I don't mind me a slab of white cake with coconut frosting.

Squirrel!

As I was saying, the next step after hitting send is to wait. What for? The magical fairies in publishing land to sprinkle glitter all over it and then resend it to me. For more editing, of course. That will be the macro edit, wherein I get to fix plot holes big enough to drive a Mack truck through. Hit repeat for the same process, and I'll get a content edit, fixing up wonky grammar and making sure Aunt Frieda wears a blue flowery dress for all of chapter one instead of changing it to green half-way through. No, I don't really have an Aunt Frieda, but super fun name, eh? Kind of like Francisco or Mr. Bingley. Names like that are a fun rollercoaster ride for your tongue.

Squirrel!

Oh yeah, so somewhere in the midst of all this editing, I'll hopefully get a comp of the cover. I'm expecting great things from Barbour. Check out some of their yummy covers HERE.
