Yes, I did intend this thread mostly to gather some information. But don't get me wrong, I do have a book sitting here waiting for a cover. However, it's only on its second draft. Aside from my other work commitments, I also want to make some real progress on the book that follows from this first instalment before I actually commit to publishing - there may be some adjustments required to the hand over between the books, and until I have an actual page count I can't finalise a print cover.
It's also still possible, depending on comments from eventual beta readers, that this first instalment could get dropped out as a completely private background piece. I like it, and my first (but possibly biased) beta reader likes it, but I think it may be a hard sell: a fantasy book with bugger all fantasy. It's more in the nature of an extended prelude, and on that basis alone I have to look at it with a sceptical eye.
