Book Tour Reading #2 Now in MP3

And soon to be posted for podcast. It's been a very busy month or so, between blogging and podcasting and writing and editing and vacationing and walking in the woods and such.

I got my Virtual Book Tour Creator's Guide ("Podcasting Your Virtual Book Tour") squared away over the weekend, developed what I think is a very cool cover for the book, and got my material posted to Lulu.com -- I still need to proof it, but the project is just about ready to go out to the world. Woo hoo!

I've been feeling guilty for neglecting my "Fuel" edits, but I just had to sort out the VBT creator's guide before I could do anything else. I mean, for heavensake, I just needed to plug in the screen captures! Now that's done, and I can move on. And move on, I will.

Now I can focus on my "Fuel" edits -- more changes have come from my editor, so I'll need to tend to them. Still on-track for March publication (later this month). All things considered, there aren't *that* many changes to make, so I'm very encouraged.

I'm presently listening to the second reading of the book tour, to proof it and make sure I didn't flub up anywhere. So far, so good. I've had a couple of false starts to listening - I'd get 20 minutes into it, then get called away... listen to the first 20 minutes again, and get called away... etc. So, I fired up the laptop in the car on my way home, and listened as I drove. I just need to plug in a little more applause at the end, but other than that, we're good to go.

I'm getting pretty psyched about this book getting out there. Listening to my podcast again, I'm reminded again why, oh why, we just love England, especially Cornwall. The memories are still fresh in my mind, even five years later, and we're looking forward to going back. Soon.
