I have been rather remiss in updating this page with the communication of what is going on behind the scenes with getting this book published, and the various processes that that entails. I recognize this, and there are, as usual, a multiple of reasons behind that, the primary of which is my current position is rather time intensive, and has restricted the amount I can spend on Tarranau to a few hours a week. However, without this position, I wouldn’t be able to do everything else I do, and so sometimes writing has to take a back seat to the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
That being said, I can happily report that the book has been going through proofreading and it is nearly complete in editing, with only a final chapter to be discussed between author and editor, and that expected to be done by the end of the week. After that, there is some of the practical matters such as picking a final cover picture and completing the layout to be done, and then off to the printer for the first run. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
