I've said it before, but for me, there are 3 exciting moments in the life of a book that is being published: When the manuscript has been completed and shipped to the editors, when the book is finally released, and in between when you get to see the cover for the first time. That's what happened today - I got to see the covers for the first time for "Paddling Alabama 2nd Edition" and "Hiking Waterfalls Alabama" and couldn't be happier with the choices. There's plenty of editing to do on both books then a long wait for publication. "Paddling" is scheduled for May, "Waterfalls" in June. Sigh. Better get writing something else.
