Maybe an e-book cover

After a day out yesterday (see my other blog) now it's time to settle down and get some work done!

I rather fancy trying my hand at creating an e-book cover, since I have a picture so clearly in my head!  I intend to use the info from here,

As can be seen from the somewhat grubby photo, I work so hard I've completely worn off some of the letters on the keyboard!

Off to Chatsworth today - just about my most favourite place.
Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire lived here from the 1950's until the death of her husband in 2006.  She more than anyone has had a huge influence on the success of this lovely place.  She has been a prolific writer as can be seen  here.
Her son Peregrine inherited on the death of his father, and the Dowager Duchess now lives in the nearby estate village of Edensor.  During the summer she sometimes opens her garden for a charity party when she spends all the afternoon meeting and greeting the many visitors!  She is now 91 and troubled by macular degeneration, but is as wonderful as ever.

It just goes to show you are never too old to write!

Found a Proof Reader

I'm having such an exciting morning!  Just had a long chat with my dear son, and he thinks his father-in-law might be prepared to proof read my book!  What a brilliant idea.

I find proof reading so difficult.  I've tried reading the text slowly, reading it out loud, but still I just know there are typos.  It really does need new, fresh eyes.

T has also agreed to create a cover!  Isn't that just marvellous - I'm so pleased.  Already ideas are pouring into my inbox!

Things are definitely moving!

At last it's finished

After months of work my novel is completed!  Long-suffering friends have read, reviewed and given valuable advice and criticsm.
Now I'm waiting to receive a pdf document from Lepra so I complete the final, information page.
Progress at last!
