A Big Day in the Sneaky Hollow!
Wednesday, April 8th was a milestone day in the Sneaky Hollow Chronicles: Where Time Stands Still - publishing journey.
I pressed send on the final proofread manuscript.
We now enter the book design and layout phase — the last stop before this thing becomes a real, hold-in-your-hands book. Full speed ahead for a late July/August 2026 launch.
The folks of Sneaky Hollow and the Pine Knot Café are getting excited. Harold has declared that we are "about to become infamous."
Earl just muttered from his corner of the checkerboard table: "Harold, for God's sake. Don't scare 'em off before they've read the back cover."
Daisy poured another round and said nothing. Which, if you know Daisy, means she agrees with both of them.
More news as we move along. The Hollow is almost ready for you. 🏡
