Fifth Paperback Update

The files are in, they are formatted as directed, and uploaded. A proof copy is en route to my address. The book awaits manual review and approval prior to being made available for sale. Backers have been notified via Indiegogo's system and as soon as I can order advance copies I will begin doing so. The end is in sight; I will miss my preferred mark by about a week or so, but that will not hurt long-term.

As soon as all backer copies are ordered and sent, I will shift focus to Book Two. I want to get it out before the end of the year, but early next may have to be done instead.

Fourth Paperback Update

Finally got all the pieces. I have the cover and everything else I require. What's going down now is the manuscript formatting. This is necessary for the final version of the cover to ensure that the spine fits, as it is uploaded separate from the manuscript to KDP. Barring interruptions, I will power through the formatting this weekend; this is my first time, so I'm using all the help I can get to put out an acceptable paperback.

The instant I can, I will get a proof copy sent to me. Upon approval, I will order and send paperbacks to backers with all due speed. I appreciate that the backers have been patient with me, so as soon as they're available they're going out and I'll keep at it until everyone gets theirs; the royalties from ebook sales are going directly into making certain this is done.

Third Paperback Update

The check arrived. The check cleared. The reasons for why they cut me a check have been sorted so this won't happen again. Other financial fuckery that would've screwed things up further have been sorted. ArtAnon is at work on the paperback cover. I will take the time to double-check the manuscript formatting to ensure I don't screw that up when I go to upload it. Once the files are in place, and things are sorted, backers will begin getting their copies. Shortly thereafter the paperback will go live and be available for purchase; those who do so will get the Kindle version for free as a bonus.

Second Paperback Update

I've been in contact with ArtAnon. We're getting the paperback cover done ASAP. Amazon's check has not arrived yet; I will fix this as soon as I can find my back account info so future payment can be directly deposited. Once the finances are sorted, and the cover ready, I'll get the paperbacks out as I am able.
