Finished Book 1: The Surgeon in the Mirror

Today was momentus. I finished the final error checks on the manuscript and cover for The Surgeon in the Mirror. I am elated, relieved, and exhausted. You would think that it is all downhill from here. Post the files to Amazon and IngramSpark and then just cruise to the bestseller list. But No. The journey has just begun. Right now only my followers on Facebook and LinkedIn even know the book is coming. Now, it is time to prepare the marketing campaign. People who would love this book have to hear about it before they can buy it, read it, and tell their friends about it. The marketing is at least as involved as the writing, at least at first. So today we celebrate and then get back to work.
