So Close to the Finish Line

After completing my first draft right before going on vacation--to Saskatchewan, no less--in late June, I have just completed my second major draft of the book and have just sent it out to my beta readers--my wife and four children--for review. The cover is nearly complete, so once I get their notes back, I'll do one more pass and then proceed to layout. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this book should be ready to release by the end of August. I couldn't be more excited.
