My manuscript is being handed off to Penguin's copy editors today, which means that the major editing phase is done. Another big milestone down. I'm told the copy editing - which are the simple corrections to spelling, grammar and style - will take about three weeks, and then it's off to design and proofreading. A cover should be coming down the pipe shortly. I can't wait to see what they cook up, and to be sure, I'll be posting it here as soon as I can.Today is also another important day in that it's the start of the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany. The fair, which runs until Sunday, is a major annual showcase for books for the European market. My agents, Westwood Creative Artists, are taking snippets of Sex, Bombs & Burgers to Frankfurt in the hopes of getting some European publishers interested in it. I hope they have some luck as the only thing cooler than finally seeing my book in print would be to see it in a different language.
Fingers crossed. Hopefully European publishers can see that war, porn and fast-food are indeed universal!
In honour of the fair, I present to you this awesome video of Germany's favourite son, the one, the only, Mr. David Hasslehoff:
