Status Update - Book 2 - Final Edit Complete

I have completed my seventh edit of Book 2 of the Stormfall Chronicles. The word count still stands at around 121,000 words - so the seventh proofread/review cycle had essentially no effect on the overall word count.

I expect the next steps towards release to happen in rapid succession:

• Formatting the manuscript for eBook and paperback editions
• Release of the blurb for the book
• Cover unveiling
• Timing and release of the promotional campaign

Having reviewed the experiences and suggestions from a number of successful indie authors, I am planning to focus a little more energy on the pre-release cycle for this book, including booking a Blog Tour and the release of Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) for the book. Any of my regular followers who might be interested in being an ARC reviewer should check back periodically for more details.
