Heya. You haven’t seen hide nor hair from me for the last week or so because I’ve been editing TBFKAI. I’m currently working on the last chapter, after which it goes off to the betas for critique and review and I pour myself a large Angry Orchard and enjoy some season 5 Longmire. Here’s my schedule between now and 2/21, which will be the release date:

• Send MS off to beta readers and editor
• Finalize cover for ebook and print
• Set up pre-sales in Amazon
• Start doing teasers on FB, Twitter, and Google+
• Send out teasers, cover to newsletter subscribers
• Set up a release day party
• Get crits back from beta readers and editor
• Incorporate comments/corrections into MS
• Do a third editing pass
• Do a spelling/grammar editing pass
• Do a weasel word editing pass
• Do a polishing pass
• Format .mobi version, upload to Amazon three days before release date
• Format .epub version, upload to Smashwords for distribution to B&N, Kobo, iTunes, et al
• Format print version, upload to CreateSpace
• Release book on 2/21 with FB party and wild shenanigans

After which I may sleep for a day. But only for a day because after that I have to finish Behind the Iron Cross and start the whole thing over again. Plus there’s the alternate history mystery I’d like to finish editing and publish. *rubs face* It shall get done somehow, selah.
