Feels great to be on the final countdown to launching this thing.

I've seen ebook preorders coming in and I know I have people waiting on the paperback launch too.

That's a wrap.

All edits now in the electronic file. Now sitting just over 94K words.

I have back matter and blurb work to do and to get the ebook out to a few early readers ahead of releasing to the world later this year.

That's not a stack of blank paper. That's the completed red-pen read through of Faust:The First Folio.

Next job... Edit all the red squiggles into the manuscript and call it done.

Once the manuscript is finished, I'll be sending out ebook ARCs. If anyone does fancy receiving one, let me know.

Someone forgot to tell Winston that manuscript boxes are not for orange cats.

Editing chapter by chapter, line by line. So useful to switch to a different medium. Reading it back feels so different and I'm finding things I want to sharpen all the way through.

But most importantly, I'm enjoying engaging with this book on a whole new level.

Absolutely convinced... It's good.

I'm looking for some beta readers for my Victorian fantasy novel.

I just need a few people to read a few hundred pages and give feedback on what works, what doesn't, whether the story and the characters land, and what questions and problems get raised that need fixing.

Faust: The First Folio
First thing you should know is yes, I made a deal with the devil. Possibly. But what you should be asking is what the Bishop of Bamberg wanted with a book on cosmology, why I had to get it, and how I completely fucked that situation.

The Morality Switch
Gabriel Switch doesn't want to be a thief anymore - his magic's worth more than that. But when he's implicated in beastly murders, he partners a plucky young reporter to stop a diabolical plot to clean up Whitechapel.

Book 1 of a series

Okay, so, learned colleagues... How does this blurb sound? Is that a story you could invest in? What can I tighten? Does it give you enough of a taste of the book?
