Put to bed

I spent the last 30 days in the excruciating mission to oversee completing a manuscript to release for a large print run.

As I've tried to explain to friends and family the unique anxiety, pressures, and content of my 20 hour days, I realized that the experience has to stay within (at least for the time being). It feels incommunicable.

On Friday night April 23 my signature when onto the book block.

Here are a couple of scenes at the printer (around the book cover)

War and Religion
