It won’t be long now: ‘Dear Thursday…’

2017/10/13 — Leave a comment

Today’s entry in the Love Notes to the Days of the Week series is no. 359—which means it is almost time to start preparing the ‘Dear Thursday…’ volume for publication, as this coming Thursday will be the last entry for Year Four. I expect to have everything put together and ready to go before the end of November.

Until then, I am putting the finishing touches on 8: Eight-word Poems, and have started sorting through the material for what I am still calling The Lilac Years.

And I must get my proper website back up and running. I had started rebuilding it with the assumption that The Lilac Years would be out around this time, so I have some changes to make to what I have already done. I am aiming for having the basic site back online by the end of the month.

Stay tuned!

Files for the e-book editions have been uploaded to Smashwords and Kindle Direct Publishing for review. I have also uploaded a slightly revised interior to IngramSpark, since I found a numbering error as I was formatting the e-book documents—just the excuse I needed to fix the remaining seven-word poem (which is now eight), and make a word substitution to another poem (so it would make more sense).

I have set up the e-book editions to become available on 27 October from Smashwords and several Amazon sites (US, UK, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Australia); they should be available for pre-ordering next week.

The pre-order links and preliminary info from the last update are repeated below.
