Mass market paperbacks coming soon!

Amazon offers this service (I'm an idiot, I just discovered it), and I'll be reformatting Villain and Wayward to publish in an actual paper copy.

I know were moving away from it, but some folks like it, so why not?

I don't know how the price points are, but like Villain's Kindle edition, I'll put it as cheaply as possible, with just a buck or two coming my way.

First I'm finishing the Wayward edits, though!

Done with the edit!

DONE! I'm finished with the edit. All done, except for two problems I need to fix that make no sense. One is 13 pages, the other is 9. So done for all intents and purposes.

My content editor, Josh Hoade, is through the first act and working on the second. Once we're both done, it goes to my final editor, Ashley Daoust, then I format and publish. I'll throw it up as soon as it's ready, and right now it looks like I'm going to beat my March 2013 deadline (I published Villain on 3/28/12).

This version will come out of the gate after Ashley's edit so we won't experience the problems from the first book, where readers found a ton of stupid grammatical errors. I didn't expect anyone to read the thing, so I didn't think to worry about a professional edit. My mistake.

Erik Von Lehman is hard at work on the cover, and I'm including his first sketch of some of the interior art. I just love how he draws Blackjack and Apogee.


More in a bit!
