Proof! The word usually means ‘evidence’ but in publishing, it’s the copy produced as soon as the text is finalised and edited and is ready for sending to reviewers and potential overseas publishers. I can’t tell you how relieved and excited I am to announce that the ‘proof’ of my latest novel has just landed!
And it sure is evidence. Evidence of exactly two-and-half years of dreaming, researching, drafting, reading, interviewing, remembering, hoping, re-writing, doubting, believing, agonising, laughing and crying. (Truly, madly, deeply.)
This is a story that goes back to my beginnings in a village in Nepal and a love affair with a sacred mountain. To find out more about it, do become a Fellow Pilgrim on The Shared Way. Everything I write there is free, but only subscribers get the inside story of the book. Next letter landing next week.
