And it ends.

jpskewedthroneNot only are the major revisions done, the minor ones are as well. The Cracked Throne has been finished and emailed to my editor. It's pretty much out of my hands now. I can change minor things (words mainly) in the copy edits, but other than that . . .
For those who might want to know, what happens next is that my editor reads the revised version and decides whether she likes it or not. If she does, then the manuscript is considered delivered and they send me the rest of my advance. (Money, money, money!) This is likely to be the only money I get this year from books, since I'll only have one statement from DAW in September, and I doubt I've earned out my advance with just the hardcover. The only way I'll see more money this year is if I sign contracts for the next 3-book deal before the end of December. Unlikely.
Or unless you all go out and buy up the rest of the hardcover copies of Skewed Throne, thus earning out my advance plus some. EXTREMELY unlikely. *grin*
You all have to keep in mind that I got a significant chunk of my advance last year when I signed the contract for Cracked Throne. So I've gotten paid for Cracked Throne once before.
After I get the rest of the advance, I'll see copy edits, a packaged version of the cover which I will share with you guys immediately, galleys which feel an awful lot like the book, and then of course the actual book. I'll likely also be dealing with the paperback version of Skewed Throne sometime in there as well.
And don't forget book 3: Vacant Throne. Got to write that sucker this summer!
But not now. Finish off the semester first. That's the top priority. 2 weeks of no writing, at most.
