Kathleen Conn: amazing editor

In my continuing series of people holding bits and pieces of Pericles Commission, I bring you the talented young editor Kathleen Conn, who holds the entire book, hot off off the bindery.


Thanks Kathleen, it can't be easy to deal with a complete newbie.  You've been fantastic for a debut author!

Hey Tabitha, yep, it's incredibly exciting. I have the ARC here at home, and the final book cover. I'll get my own copy of the final product that Kathleen holds when I get to the Bouchercon fan conference five days from now.

Very exciting! So close to coming out now, right?

Gary Corby said...

Hi Meghan, yes, very close indeed. I arrive in San Francisco on the 11th. Hope you can make it to the launch, or else catch up some other time next week.

Gary Corby said...

Vicky, yes, incredibly exciting! Also, weirdly a sense of relief because it's been so long in the making.

Hey Jude!

I think you might be the first person to read the books in reverse order. Do please let me know if it works.

For those unaware, Jude was Janet's assistant when I submitted The Ionia Sanction and she did a brilliant review of it before she ever saw The Pericles Commission. Thus making her unique.
