Some changes will come with the novel's release, but for now, it is feature complete.

Guten Tag, alle.

As of yesterday, Werewolf Tale has been submitted for its second copy-edit. As I mentioned before, I will be using the time preceding getting the draft back to do a few things regarding the novel. One of which is part of this submission/announcement.

While I’m waiting for the edited draft and preparing for a third copy-edit or the final proofread, I am going to be holding a Beta Reading for Werewolf Tale. What this means is I am opening the floor to all interested in offering their thoughts and suggestions on the story as it is now.

I will provide a full copy of the current draft and a questionnaire to fill out to anyone who chooses to do this. Leave a comment or Note/PM me and I will link you to the files and provide an e-mail address to send the completed document to. Be sure to answer every question as fully as possible, and contact me if something is confusing.

Be advised also that I would like to mention the people who help me here by a real name in the Acknowledgments portion of the novel versus User IDs. If you do not wish to be named, let me know and I will respect your request.

This Beta Read will run until I am ready for the final proofread to be done, which I will announce. When that time arrives, I will be finalizing things, so no changes outside of minor ones will be made.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to reading what you all have to say.

- Adam G.

Guten Tag, alle.

I'm pleased to announce that Werewolf Tale now has a Twitter account. (Still have reservations about Facebook's trustworthiness.)

The Twitter account handle is @werewolftale. I'll be using it and my @AgentBJ09 Twitter to help spread the word about the novel, and maybe do some giveaways of stuff. (No ideas of what yet.)

The initial copy-edit is coming along well. I'm almost done with Chapter 10, touched up the transformation scene from Chapter 9, and made quite a few changes from the FurAffinity draft.

An updated copy of the novel in PDF and the three e-reader formats will be posted later tonight. I'm experimenting with fonts for the titles of the chapters and other things, but they won't be in this updated sample.

Lastly, I have a second copy-edit date coming up. July 20th. It may take a month after that for the final edits and proofreading to be done, but I will be making sample copies of the book after I finish with this draft to ensure Lulu prints the book the way I want. I may give these away as ARCs (Advanced Review Copies), but it depends.

Until next time.

It seems my copy-editor got hit with a computer virus a while back that crippled her work PC and wiped most of her recent work and edits. Mine was among them; about a third of the edits and notes within my manuscript were wiped out.

She should have it back to me by the end of the week as she is working to redo my edits, along with those of other clients of hers.

My goals for advertising the coming of the book haven't changed, but the publication date may be in July or August versus June as I was planning for before.

Since my copy-edited draft should be back in my hands within a week or so, I have some updates for what's coming.

- The revisions for the copy-edited draft may take me a month or so to complete, depending on how many mistakes in continuity are pointed out and how much of the draft that I feel needs reworking once more. (I'm predicting 25% needs an overhaul or general fixes.) Once that's done, I'll be sending it back to my copy-editor for a second touch-up edit to fix any typos/grammar faults that may get past me.

- To help promote the book before, during or after launch, depending on circumstances leading up to May 30 - June 6th, I'll be using the A-KON 25 anime convention in Dallas as an early advertising location. If you're going to the con, let me know.

- When the book launches, I'll have physical copies available through Lulu.com and Amazon.com. E-books will be set up for Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook service; Apple's iBooks is harder to get into for a first-timer but Lulu just added the option to their distro locations, so that may be changing. The e-books will be DRM-free where I can offer it, so this should smooth over any reader transitions.

As the publication date comes closer, I'll keep you all informed. Until next time.
