Nervewrecking

Waiting for the final printer proof with the new cover and all of the additional pages. (Legal stuff, dedications, title pages)
In the time since I started to publish it to the time I submitted the final files, the printing company changed their distribution rules, and forced me to reformat up one size, from a 5.5 x 8.5 to a 6 x 9. This doesn't sound like a lot, but it is a HUGE difference. It cost me a week of non stop work to reformat the book. It lowered the page count since that was several extra inches of space per page, but I was able to up the font pointe by 1, making it easier to read. All of the graphics(including simple chapter break symbols and the map) had to be changed. The cover had to be completely rebuilt since the change in size now included a change in spine width.

I'm hoping readers can see how much work and love I've put into this. I hope it prints beautifully.  I hope it gets here soon!!!!

Also have the order out for some of the neat preorder stuff, buttons and bookmarks, but I'm not worried about those.

Still waiting on the last few artist pieces for the art book before that can be printed. Planning to have it out to the printer by the end of the week.
