Patience is a virtue...

I confess my character is slightly impatient. The thing is I am so excited I cannot wait, but I have to, that's the procedure. I am talking about my first big print for no. 14 the French translation.

I have been waiting for a month as the printers are busy and that's their schedule.

To start with I have ordered 500 copies to test the waters (no pun intended). I am a bit anxious because I was not able to obtain an example copy to approve.

The printers sent me this photo of all the covers that have been prepared. That was very nice of them to reassure me I thought.

Hopefully, the batch will arrive next week. I will let you know how they turn out and if they are as good as I am hoping for I think we will have a very nice relationship with all the other books in the series, and perhaps there will be faster delivery dates when the summer holidays are finished.
