Well, I almost made it. I approved the format of the layout the first of this week, and I will get proof copy around the first of the new year. So, the book should be available sometime in January.
There is always something that gets in the way. This time it was the copy editor who was defining the layout who decided my title "Was a Time When" was not sufficient, and called the book "There Was a Time When." I had already been through that loop, and wrote back to explain that several others around the world had already made use of that phrase, so it was not a good choice for me.
A small change, but it takes time to get things right.
Be patient, I am.
