The book is done...

...or at least my part is. I am waiting on the foreword being graciously written by the dean, and for my co-author to approve his bio, and then it goes to the printer. The book is being published by the MLI Press, which is our in-house publishing company, so I have had a lot of input on how the book gets formatted and printed. I have even gotten to explore the ISBN System and have registered the company. The main advantage is the book will show up in the master catalog of books available (Books in Print), and may even wind up listed on Amazon. The book will be sold by mail order from the school only, but having the book listed widens the range of contact. I am actually coming down off the adrenaline rush of deadlines and such, which is good as I haven't slept much lately. I think I'll wait a week before starting my next book. Hopefully I can focus on it clse enough that it won't take 2 years to finish.

Book Update

I have been working like a madman of late trying to make the June 5th deadline for the book. Today is June 5th... no book. I got the deadline pushed to the 7th. At present, I have 1 section left to go over, and we are missing a table of contents and index. Jarrod and I should be able to pull that off in 2 days right?... must work now!
