Hi All!

CC&C is officially back from the editor and sitting in my hands again.

Well. Digitally in my hands. You know what I mean.

This is one of those milestones that somehow feels both huge and like it should come with a dramatic trumpet fanfare.

That means Ana, Moonstone & Mischief, the rabbits, the magical oddities, and all the other inhabitants of Foxglove Crossing have survived another round of professional scrutiny. 😂

I’m working through the edits and getting everything incorporated into the final manuscript. Once I finish that pass, the book heads to the proofreader for its last typo-hunting adventure.

My goal is to have the proofreading underway and the physical proof copies ordered by the end of September.

After proofreading is complete, the digital edition can head your way fairly quickly. For those of you getting physical books, I’ll be ordering proof copies first so I can check the actual printed books before I approve the final run. Because discovering something wonky after a pile of books has been printed is not an adventure I need. 😆

So, at the moment, our production path looks like this:

There is something especially satisfying about reaching this point because this is where the story starts feeling less like the giant pile of words living in my head and more like an actual book that you are going to get to read.

And I am really excited for you to read this one.

Thank you, as always, for helping make this ridiculous, cozy little corner of the universe real. Every time we hit another production milestone, I get to remember that there are actual people waiting on the other side of this process.

Which is both wonderful and only slightly terrifying. 😆

More soon as I work my way through the edits!

❤️
Claudia
