Journey to publishing update #1

It was a gorgeous fall day here in Iowa. We took a drive over to the Mississippi River valley to view the fall colors. Splendid-tacular.

Progress
  • Worked on finalizing the back cover for the paperback edition of the book.
  • Compared the last two edits to see what was left to work on in the final proof read.
  • Started the Acknowledgements and Author's Notes.
