Cover for 'Dust jacket' is going to be just as difficult as any I have created; here's our first draft and although we like some of the elements - for example, the choice of ANTON font for the title - there are elements we do not like so much.
There's plenty of time for all of that to be reworked as the manuscript is in the first stage of the editing process. It'll be a longer process than usual because both Chambers and I have our own pre-reader circles with whom we will be circulating the manuscript before we even begin.
The earliest indication is that the story is sound and is just about paced right.
Cannot predict the date of publication at this stage; clearly it won't be months away nor weeks; well possibly two.
