From the publisher:

the next part is for us to have a little something about you for the webpage, if you wish.  We also need a shorter (much shorter) synopsis of the story.  Something that grabs readers and makes them want to buy the book!

We'll then make an announcement about the book on our webpage.

We also need to hook you up with an artist so we can get started on the cover.  The big thing is to get a front cover (the spine and back cover will come later when the book is almost ready to send to the printers).  So, do you have any ideas concerning the cover art?  It primarily will be you and an artist working together for a cover.  We step in and check it out when you guys are happy with it.

OMG.  Am so excited I could burst. Now.  What's Fabio's phone number.....

Hmm. But then - look at the other covers! That's what you get when you give authors control!

argh!

It's like that old joke - "I went to an auction and bought myself a Rembrant and a Stradivarius - unfortunately, Rembrant couldn't make violins and Stradivarius was a crappy painter."

Puts a new inference into "being goosed"

It's great! They're letting you have all the control on the cover :) Can't wait to see it!

Thanks sweetie.

Jealousy is not a good thing but consider myself green from head to toe!!

It's quite daunting - I know exactly what I want in my mind's eye, but am unlikely to be able to explain that via email. Perhaps I'll do some cut outs and stick them on a page and scan it in.

Thanks hun

Thanks hon - it still doesn't seem real - it's really weird. Probably because of the several false starts I've had.

The house in the middle, with Rafe on one side and Ambrose on the other - nothing startling, but Rafe all broody and arms folded, and Ambrose sitting there reading or something.

So you do get input to the cover! That's great. Now to brush up your summary skills! Sounds as if they may ask you to contribute to the cover blurb, too, when the time comes.

Yeah, I'm late, but I only got back last night. Felt I must say what terrific news this is.

Thanks sweetie! It's so brill - and all I have to do is sell 2million copies to be a millionaire!!!

no worries then! *chokes*

www.pdpublishing.com has the "Coming soon," Erastes' Bio and the summary up already!

*squee*

*snogs you*

Now did you write those bits or did they put them together? because if they did, that's an effective job of advertising (or so it seems to an ignorant reader) and maybe they'll sell Standish properly too.

I note with particular pleasure that despite their cavilling in the paperwork, in the promotion they are using your title.

We'd all like to be millionaires (um, *questions your maths*), but it's happy-making to be read, and to make some pocketmoney, too. If this goes well, you may get beyond pocketmoney, which would be great. Especially if you could write full time - if you wish. Not everybody does.

God - I'd LOVE to write full time. Nothing would make me happier!

Yes, 2,000,000 copies required to make me a millionaire - in dollars...

But anything - even a few quid will be wonderful - i just want a copy!!

I wrote that copy - I gave them A and B and then that one - which was both cobbled together.

Thanks sweet!
