I have a preliminary cover . . .

I gather there've been a few changes made to both illustration (by Bob Eggleton) and typography/design (by Steve Upham), but MADDENINGLY I haven't yet seen them. In the meantime, this is as much as I know about how the outside of my novel The Dragons of Manhattan (Screaming Dreams Press, Real Soon Now) is going to look:

 

There's a web page about the book at http://www.screamingdreams.com/index1.html (then choose "Paperback Books/Books in Progress/The Dragons of Manhattan); it too still has the penultimate-draft cover design.

Even before the emplacement of the revisions, this is somewhat, um, cool, ain't it? Tonight there's at least one author who's dancing around a bit, punching the air occasionally in triumphalist fashion, requiring periodic deflation by his ever-lovin' spouse . . .

And what makes you think I didn't reduce Brooklyn to a heap of greenly glowing ash before the novel started?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Maybe those green ashes are the finishing touches Bob is modifying...

So that's why Bob asked me to send him a photo of Nick Kaufmann!

Just Nick? =)

BTW sent you an email at realthog@optonline.

Just about to reply to the e-mail. I was half asleep when it arrived last night, so decided to leave it (and others) until this morning.

Getting some sleep is always good advice!
