Hero on a Honda

I read in Writers Magazine that to write a novel may take up to a year to complete and 2 further years to edit. I'm learning the hard way that the editing is harder in some respects than the writing. The little book about my experience in India is a tiny book compared with a novel, yet to get all the bits lined up, the facets cleanly cut and the whole thing polished smooth like a gem, takes an inordinate length of time.
I'm happy to be able to report that the editing is complete in all respects.
Content, acknowledgements, title pages and text are now ready to go to print.
The next stage is to design the front cover, hopefully based on the photo I took of 3 colourful Hindu dandies at a fruit stall in Dwarka.

I'm no less excited about this protracted birth than I was when I last posted.
When finally the front page is set I will truely believe my little book will be ready to launch on an expectant public (!)

This week I took a leap into the unknown and I can be followed on Twitter at TonyFarmer88.
I am hoping to use twitter to market Hero on a Honda.
