Hurry Up and Wait...Waiting for Marcel's Gift, that is...

We've waited for Godot,
Waited to Exhale,
Waited for the Good Ship Lollipop,
and now we're waiting for MARCEL'S GIFT.

 I've finished correcting the galleys...mostly eliminating the word "WAS" over a thousand times. Yes, I said thousand, folks. You do the math...275 pages with was appearing at least 5 times per page. I've got it down to 265 times, but now I'm was-zy.

Thank goodness the Holidays are coming; I should be pre-occupied with shopping, wrapping, baking and watching "The Miracle on 34th Street" for the umpteenth time that the February release date won't seem so far away.

Soon as my publisher puts it on Amazon for pre-release orders, I'll send out the alert.
