It’s been frantic around the Yellow Horse stables yet again. Scott’s been head-down in his adaptation of HorrorCon, Louise has just finished what we hope is a final edit of sWitch and I’ve been galavanting in London-town working on Facebook applications and basically living the life of a celebrity.
Some of this may not be quite true.
Consequently, much of what should have been done by this week isn’t quite and next week isn’t looking to slow down all that much.
As you might know, sWitch is due to be released in August, which means we have until the very last day of the month to meet our deadline. Can we do it? Or will flooding at Baker Street put paid to our cunning plans? Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion.
Meanwhile, a reminder of what sWitch has in store on August the 31st.
Since you’re here, a couple of wee snippets of publishing news: heavyweight marketing author Seth Godin is leaving Portfolio Books to self-publish (although we notice that they don’t call it that, but rather “sell direct to his fans”); Barnes & Noble have released a Nook for iPhone; Amazon is stirring up the mainstream UK press with its £109 Kindle; and “a senior publisher” is annoyed at the devaluation of books by nincompoops.
And because we love reading and we love photographs (and we’re around the world), we really must recommend you go off and have a look at Steve McCurry’s images of people around the world reading. Fabulous.
Don’t forget to come back when you’ve finished.
