Yes, I have finally decided that As Winter Came and Went will be published on the 4th of December 2018. So that leaves me a little under 6 months to make the last edits and corrections (and by the way, I want to thank all the people who have read or are currently reading the manuscript and giving me feedback, as well as correcting my many typos!), to proofread, to finish the cover, to write the blurb, and so on...
6 months seem like a long time now but I'm pretty sure I'll be rushed nonetheless and do most things at the last minutes... Acually, I have less than 6 months: the book should be ready for pre-order and for the cover-reaveal at the beginning of November. And that also means that I must have my website up and ready by that time.
So there's a lot of work left to do, and it's both exciting and scary to have this precise deadline. Writing As Winter Came and Went was an adventure. Publishing it is another one and I'm determined to enjoy every part of it!
Why the 4th of December? Well, it's a Tuesday, and it seems that books are traditionally published on Tuesdays. Then you may have noticed that the title of my novel refers to a certain season... So I thought it would be a good idea to link this to the time of publication. And, since I finished the first draft in December 2016, there's something symbolical and satisfactory in publishing it close to the birthday of its completion.
