They shipped

So the test went well. My original publisher was one day sooner. The cost savings per piece will save me a lot up front. The quality is nearly identical, so I'm quite happy with my decision at this point.

After doing a complete read-through and edit and had another person edit, I ordered one more proof. I re-wrote the back cover text to give a better outline of what the book is really about.

I also think I'm going to write a screenplay of the story, so I'm doing some research on that angle. At the same time I'm in the middle of a bunch of other things, including trying to work on a tour tied to the book and keeping The Mob Tours operational.

I think I have an idea of a weekend of events for the book relase. I am trying to pin down the locations.
