Finished editing the proofs of "Demon Thief" -- hurrah!!! But, wait a minute, I'm not entirely finished with it yet -- my editor, Stella, has a few last-minute suggestions she wants to run by me next week ...

Also edited the American proofs for the book, pencilling in the changes and corrections which I'd made to the UK version. My books get "Americanized" for publication in the States -- just small stuff, like changing "Mum" to "Mom", and altering words or expressions which American readers might not understand.

Ended up changing the last couple of paragraphs of the book. The ending itself hasn't changed, just the wording -- I wanted it to be a bit tighter than it was in the previous draft. I usually know the last line of a book before I start to write it -- I like having something definite to work my way towards. But sometimes that line can change, if I get to the end and think of something better. Occasionally, even the ending itself might change, but that's fairly rare for me.
