Working through my book launch checklist. Today was... webpage!

My partner, illustrator, and technically publisher, already has a site so it was just a matter of adding a page for #CrownOfHorns

audra.balion.ca/crown-of-horns/

Let me know what you think and if there's anything that stands out that should get fixed.

Two years ago, @AudraBalionArt was working late one night to finish her graphic novel—one she had been working on for ten years!

I secretly ordered her an ice cream cake that night to celebrate its completion.

Today, she comes home with a cake for me to celebrate the completion of my novel #CrownOfHorns!

She wanted them to write “Down with fascism” on the cake, but after a weird look, she decided on a different reference from the book.

Thank you, sunshine!

AHH!! I'm done! #CrownOfHorns

Okay, not done done... but done this phase.

In August, I set about to complete "my final edits" for my book. What happened instead was a rethinking of key elements. I blew the book up from ~250 pages to over 400!

I have finished this round of edits and extensions. Now I need to get it in front of readers again. But I did it!

I'm really proud of this milestone.

(Concept for cover below.)

A concept book cover. The central focus is a steel-eyed woman with twisting horns upon her head, glaring at the viewer. She wears an intricate necklace and is framed by a fiery motif. The image is stylized so that her horns and eye on the right side are completed whited out. F. David Schultz. Crown of Horns. Illustrated by Audra Balion.

Fun considerations while editing...

I just noticed I compared two characters' heights. No big deal... until I recall that this comparison completes a triangle. So, based on what I wrote...

A is taller than B.
B is eye to eye with C.
And C is close to the same height as A.

Unless someone is regularly changing her height, I need to fix one of these.
