Here it is at last - Book 2 is published. I jinxed my own project by telling you last year that all the proofs were about to be started and that publication was soon. Well! The file was set for the wrong size page so that needed a complete redo of the layout and then a new index. In the end the files were proofed, and proofed, and I learned how to properly prepare them for print production. The first upload to the POD printer showed the cover was not quite right. So, after that upload correction, it was published on-line in mid-August 2020. It is styled to match Book 1.
It is now available online for the Print version. The e-book version is being generated and will be published by Mid-September.

The Memoirs project has had some necessary delays. But it is not abandoned by any means! I'm itching to get back on it.
First there were serious issues in Australia with heat waves and local bush fires, very close to Adelaide that impacted in us all in one or another. Then in November we decided to sell the family home and downsize. That needed major redecoration (by yours truly) to ready it for the market. Just as some serious buyers came forth the dreaded Covid-19 restrictions clamped it all down with their finances becoming so uncertain.
This worked out OK in some ways; not moving house allowed me to lay out and edit the Special 60th year issue of The Midhurst Magazine for its April 2020 release.
Good news. Proof reading of Book 2 has recommenced with the view of publication within a few months. Then I will be able to get back onto Book 3. But who knows when the world will get back to stability?
