Thankful Thursday

We finished the editing on my book, Falling For Mr. Darcy, a few weeks ago, days after Christmas.  The next step, I was told, was the cover art and a final inspection from another editor.  I was eager to start that but then I had heard nothing for a long while.  I am thankful that I have news on that front, finally.

I was told that I am in queue for the cover artist (who is also going to be my second editor) but that she has one maybe two books ahead of mine.  Bummer.  So although I know where we are at (I'm naming it the waiting phase) I still do not know if I am looking at weeks or worse to start the cover art.  I hope much sooner.  I felt like the editing was a whirlwind of activity and then....nothing. 

On another literary note: I submitted my second novel, Bluebells in the Mourning, for publication last month as well.  I have since learned they have received it and it is under review.  Well, the waiting phase has started on that account as well, I guess.  :)  Wish me luck on both accounts!
