Five months have passed since I last wrote a blog here. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, its more of a case I’ve forgotten that it’s here. Oops.  Though in the grand scheme of things, I don’t really know what to write about, as book progress is pretty much as it has been for the past year. I’m still editing. Sorry.

Though the good news is that  I should be on the final straight now, the last time I spoke with my editor, she had stated that it had come a long way and that we were now just polishing.  You’ll also be pleased to know that since the last blog post, the rear cover art has also been finished.

Here they are, front and rear covers, sat side by side! Both were drawn and coloured by Manga artist Sonia Leong, you can find more of her awesome work at fyredrake.net.

Once the editing is finished, the covers will have the title and blurb added to make it look more like a book cover! Huzzah.

“What else is new, Allan?” I hear you cry? Well, last blog I mentioned that I was doing some voice over training as I wanted to use my luscious voice to grace your ears.  I’ve done a few show reels and I’ve also created a basic website to get me going. If you fancy a listen, head over to allanbott.co.uk and you can decide for yourself if you think hiring me is a good idea. (it is!)

Further to the above, I’ve also gotten into the swing of learning Japanese again, it’s a language I want to become fluent in as I just love the culture of the country. It’s a destination I’ve yet to visit though. Hopefully in October 2018. Hopefully…

As I keep saying, I’ll try to make this a regular thing. I’ll pop a reminder in my calendar to do some weekly, blog posts. We’ll see. I just don’t want to end up writing the same thing all the time. Perhaps next week brings some exciting news.

Until then…

Allan.
