Galleys Arrive for The Queen’s Pawn

As I smooth and polish TO BE QUEEN for Claire (due next week…yikes!!), my galleys arrived for THE QUEEN’S PAWN.

For the non-publishing folks out there, galleys are copies of the novel that have not been corrected yet. But they are bound, sometimes with cover art. My galleys don’t have cover art, but my words are in there when I open the pages…which I find myself doing a lot, savoring the novel and the result of all the hard work of the last four years.

It is a thrill to hold a proto-type of my finished novel in my hand. In March, I get to see the real thing.
