Hey folks,

Really quick update for you on JP 2. So the manuscript is basically done and off to the copy editor. That usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on scheduling and how bad the minor issues are. Then it goes to proofread which is usually another 2ish weeks. At the same time, we are working on the cover and blurb and all that kind of stuff. Then we decide on a publishing date, and so on and so forth.

If I had to guess, I'd say we're looking at 2-3 months till the final version is your hands. That isn't a promise, just a guesstimate :-)

I've gone over the changes between RR and before, so I won't belabor that point, but I can give you this:

- Pre-copy edit manuscript ended at ~254K words. (Book 1 was 213K)

- There are 6 interludes and of course an epilogue.

- Lots and lots of alignment fixes. And a ton of changes that incorporated your feedback as much as the copy editor's.

So there you go. Update provided, as promised. No news on book 3 yet. Got two or three other projects in the pipeline along with JP 3.

I know I say this a lot, but I really mean it. THANK YOU so much for reading and caring enough to provide feedback.
