Quote from: Cato on September 11, 2024, 10:10:53 AMAny date for the book's appearance, or is that still up in the air? Excellent news!

Still February, though I'm not sure I really believe it. The editing of this book seems to be a monumental task. However, progress continues.

Quote from: Cato on September 11, 2024, 10:10:53 AMAny compositions percolating on your desk? And how is Mrs. Ottevanger these days?

No improvement currently. Life is not at all easy for her, nor for me, at the moment.

Warm vibes!

Prayers and Best Wishes! I was hoping that things had improved, so we will keep remembering her illness in the oratory!

Not really happy with that blurb (I never lost my love of composing; the composer I follow are not necessarily those I love the most) but my editor has a habit of presenting me with a deadline in a 3 a.m. email when I have no time to finesse the details. But inching closer, atleast.

In my very limited experience with publishing companies, editors mistakenly believe that they have written the book, which you have written!

You, in fact, made all kinds mistakes large and small, when you wrote their book or short story!

I hope your experience is not or has not been like that!

It's been quite traumatic at times, I won't say any more. $:-\$

The blurb doesn't matter to me. I've had the great good fortune to read a bit of the book, and I want one!

No rush, Luke, but I thought I had your setting of Wm Blake's The Lamb and I'm failing to find it.

Fate's way of dishing out a gentle critique, I feel... I do have it, but not here to post at the moment

If this treble choir hire me to direct them, I'll see how they feel about your Lamb!
