This is happening faster than I thought. Yesterday, I received the first galley proof but I will not have time to read it until the first part of August. I just have too many conflicting deadlines and other commitments.

Apparently, I will not have to worry too much about getting reviews as the package that I paid for includes that. (Read the fine print, dummy!) I WILL have to have my artwork ready when I return the galley. I provide the image and specify font, but they do the set-up. I need to include a picture of me. Think my current avatar is nice enough? I do not have a professional portrait. Maybe I should get one?

All three images are my artwork or photography. Keep in mind that it is a dark and moody kind of story. Which one looks like a book cover that you would pick up and read the jacket? I could really use your input.
