Our fantastic printer, Gary Ehrhardt with 11th Street Express Printing emailed me a couple days ago.  He wrote:

“Hi Connie, Everything looked good with the files.  Have started the job.
Thanks, Gary”

Hearing that the manuscript is no longer a galley proof but is actually almost a book always brings me great relief.  We’ll be distributing the books at the February 17 Guild Meeting at Burpee Museum of Natural History.  If you are Guild member who is unable to attend, we will mail you your copy and you will receive it by the end of February.

In the meantime, below is a peek at the front and back covers.

And here’s a quick thanks to our amazing editorial board:  Eunice Fisher, Cindy Guentherman, Sally Hewitt, Jesse Kuntz, Lori Marshall, and Kris Veches.

Thank you for reading this update.  Now…go write! -Connie Kuntz
