To ensure book 3 was as polished as it should be, I went over it three times, line by line, at a snails pace, while questioning and improving my skills on editing, reviewing and proofreading.
Following that, I still had the blurb to write for the back cover along with everything else required to present the book for publication. Next was to have someone else competent enough to read it and tell me what they think.
All of this dragged on far longer then I had anticipated and I have run out of time to get the book published and launched this side of Christmas as I had hoped.
However, I was reminded that it has been a relatively short time since launching book 2 in the series, and I should have stepped back and been a bit more patient to give others involved more time to do their part.
I will post to keep everyone updated as to where I am with the book and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Introverted as a child I would lose myself in books while dreaming of becoming an author.
When asked what I wanted to be when I left school I'd inwardly scream 'An Author'
Only kids from my background weren't expected- or encouraged- to harbour unrealistic asperations. I became a carpenter apprentice on £2-10 shillings a week.
Later I worked in the meat industry despite trying to avoid it, but it was here that I grew up and nurtured my off the wall humour via some of the craziest characters I ever knew.
I spent the last ten years of my working life lecturing, training and assessing apprentices.
Many of us could be bitter that we never had the opportunities or the privilege's given to the more fortunate to touch the sky while we were still young. Personally; I prefer to ride the waves and look forwards rather than backwards and drown in regret.
