Progress Report: Getting Closer!

So as of this evening (Monday the 7th), the current draft of Rich Man’s War is now in the hands of my trusty beta readers. I have seen a very recent version of the cover art, and I’m thrilled with the progress and excited to see the final product.

At this point, I know I’ll need to do one last round of edits to squeeze out every last unnecessary word and to make sure I have all my punctuation straight, but it’s looking like it won’t be long now. That is, unless my beta readers all come back to me and tell me that these words I’ve been seeing on my computer screen are all just a giant incoherent illusion and really I’ve spent all this time mashing keys on my keyboard and telling myself it’s a story.
This is always a weird feeling.
But on the bright side, the still-undetermined release date is now closer than it has ever been!!
