And now, a detour from scleroderma and related complexities . . .
As I shared back in March, my World War I historical novel, Line of Flight, at long last has found a publisher, Köehler Books. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working with their excellent team, preparing for publication on November 17. We went through two rounds of manuscript edits, which turned out to be a productive, painless process. In fact, the text remains largely as written. Kudos to my editor, Joe Cocarro, who caught some important issues with foreshadowing and other details that needed fixing. I was grateful for that and for the vote of confidence in my work (and for learning that when the word ‘then’ is used to denote order of actions, it is not preceded by a comma.)
Recently I have been reviewing text layout and cover designs by Catherine Herold. It’s wonderful to see my words shaping up into book format, and she has been very skilled at creating covers that realize my vision.
Now, here comes the fun part: You get to vote on your favorite cover design! We’ve narrowed it down to two. You’ll see a summary of the novel as well as the two choices in this link.
Your input matters! I really appreciate your participation.

I just voted for the option on the left–that looks like the winner. Thank you for sharing your experience with Koehler Books. I’ve written a second book and am now considering submitting it to them.
