I received the proof pages yesterday from Bloomsbury. It is the first time I've seen Avery McShane and the Silver Spurs in the format that will be published. It is cool - 210 pages of cool. The pages numbers have little spurs next to them. The chapter headers are great. The only thing that the proof doesn't have is the cover art, which I've already received separately. I think the art is posted on this blog, but you can also find it posted on my website (www.gleighlyons.com), on Avery's blog (www.averymcshane.blogspot.com) and on the new Avery McShane Fan Page on Facebook. I hope you'll join the Fan Page.
The proof page for the map of Campo Mata is still blank, but my editor says that I'll be seeing it soon. I will be sure to post that when it comes out, too. This whole process has been a blast, and one helluva learning curve. When The Pirates of Xingu and Paleopeople find homes, and the same process starts for them, I'll be ready for it.
Bottom-line is that with each passing day I've been feeling more and more like real author. Now I have proof.
