So sleepy!

Finished my copy edits for On a Lee Shore around one o'clock this morning - bleah - BUT that means that it's probably going to be published on 14th December.

You know what this means, don't you?

*sigh* Promotion.

I promise not to bang on about it too much.

Wow, that's a quick turnaround.
Excellent! :D

Re the promo: maybe think of it as an opportunity to blog about all the interesting stuff you learned while researching but couldn't fit into the book?

It was mostly accepting commas :) The CMOS seems to require a LOT more than my old English teacher did back in the 60s. Also a few 'gottens' which i sighed over but accepted because British readers will understand why they are there, but American readers wouldn't if they weren't, if you know what I mean.

That's an excellent notion. Pirate food and drink, pirate songs, pirate clothing [real and Hollywood]. I think I could get quite a lot of posts out of those odd bits of info. AND I'm writing about history, yay! Thanks for that.
