Zanski: Blog

I have just submitted Nuevo Mexico to the posting queue. I took a stab at posting cover art for the first time. Suffice it to say, it didn't quite work out. Transposing it to html lost the graphics and collapsed the text. Looks like I'm going to have to read the durections. Go figure.

Now comes the period of trying to clean up formatting errors. They look fine in the file I upload, but the transfer to a different system can be a leap of fate. My last posting queue submission was an attempt to re-format the chapter sub-heads in Bootleg Justice, e.g., "1866: THE BORDER" instead of "1866: THE border." And a few other things like that.

Depending how it comes out will inform what furthe format chages I'll have to make to Book 3: Nuevo Mexico, which is otherwise ready to go.

I have just now submitted Bootleg Justice to the posting queue. Next, I plan to repost a slightly more correct edition of War Party. Mea culpa.

I have just submitted Book 1 of the Seneca Series: War Party. Provided I haven't fouled up the transfer -- which is far from guaranteed -- it should be posted tout de suite.

Book 2, Bootleg Justice, is about ready to go, and Book 3, Nuevo Mexico, is a few days from final polish, so, lord willing and the creeks don't rise, here we go again.

I have, within the hour, finished the third book of my Seneca series.

Now each book needs a final run through, each story usually requiring a week to ten days. During the course of that review I insert typos, scramble a few sentences, and add a few other errors simply for the reader to find and report to me, allowing him to feel smug and superior, while I pretend to have missed them, despite having gone over everything at least a dozen times. But it's all in good fun.

Hopefully the first book, War Party, might be posted by the New Year -- but no promises.
