Mixed week today.
Bad news: Alex Verus #8 is still going really slow.
Good news: Copy-edits on Alex Verus #7 are done, which means the book’s pretty much done too. The version I’ve sent off today is 99% identical to the version you guys will be getting your hands on this coming April.
Even better news: Got the US sales data for the first half of this year, and it’s very good. I’ll write more about it when I get the UK news too and I have a fuller picture, but it’s all positive so far!
So more good than bad, really. Still, let’s hope the new book starts making some progress soon.
Looking forward to the books, I heat from various authors that although the readers are voracious, it takes time to be able write the great books we love.
I don’t understand why the publishing process takes so long. Why will it take another 6 months?
