Walkabout Wednesday... News and WINNERS!

It's Wednesday. Let's go walkabout.

(I'm bringing along a few of my mates as I wander through the vast wilderness of the publishing industry, learning the ins and outs, and having a grand adventure.)

Walkabout, Week 15:

The week started out pretty quite on the book end of things. ("Book end." Get it? It's a pun.) Not much was happening. Then yesterday I got an email from my editor--wow, it's amazing how much I still enjoy saying those two words together--asking that I send him an in-depth description of my hero and heroine as well as information on costuming because the graphics department was arranging a photo shoot for the cover of Courting Miss Lancaster !!

A photo shoot! I'm picturing enormous fans blowing on two people in costume, making their hair blow while a photographer is yelling things like "Work it!" and "Fab, darling! Fab!" And a lackey is running around providing everyone with premium bottled water. And someone is wearing a beret. I don't know why, but there's a beret.

Being the responsible author that I am, I took the assignment to heart and provided my editor--giggling in glee--with a very in-depth reply. Do you think in-depth means "doctoral dissertation?" 'Cause that's what I sent.

Very, very, very fun. I can't wait to see the cover!!
