Our new elliptical trainer wasn’t the only thing that arrived at the house last night. I received a box from my editor containing a few galleys of my forthcoming book, The Dark Tower Companion: A Guide to Stephen King’s Epic Fantasy, which will be published by NAL on April 2.
It’s always cool to finally see what has been until now either a bucket of bits on the computer or a messy stack of printer paper finally in book form, albeit incomplete. This version is based on the copy-edited manuscript, but it does not reflect the changes I requested after proofreading the manuscript, nor, presumably, the official proofreader’s finds as well. So there are some mistakes. (Probably some others that none of us found, too. That’s the reality of publishing. There are always mistakes that slip past everyone.)

Tonight’s delivery: our new kitchen table. Which will require some assembly on my part, but which hopefully isn’t nearly as complicated as the exercise machine was.
