Fade To Black is ON SALE NOW!!!
January 14th, 2010... Fade to Black book club. I'm totally stoked to talk about the book!
January 11th, 2010... Hardcover Upgrade is over.
January 7th, 2010... Since I've met the initial goal I'd set for myself in the very beginning (WooHoo! *does happy dance*), I am offering a FREE HARDCOVER UPGRADE. For the next ten (10) people who purchase a paperback copy of Fade to Black from my website, I will mail out an autographed HARDCOVER copy instead. (You will only recieve one copy of the book. If you prefer a paperback, just let me know.)
December 24th, 2009... Merry Christmas! I'm thrilled to say that I've nearly reached the initial goal I set for myself when this all started. Thanks to all of you who have ordered your copy, and I look forward to sending out copies to all of you who had to wait until after the holidays.
December 1st, 2009... I'm so excited to announce that FADE TO BLACK is now available in Hard Cover!
October 31st, 2009... Happy Halloween! Today I spent an hour at the post office, mailing out pre-ordered copies. Three days and they should be in your mailboxes!
October 28th, 2009... I'm just waiting for the books to arrive. Tracking via UPS says they'll be here on Friday afternoon. YAY! Anybody wanna guess what I'll be doing the weekend? :)
October 19th, 2009... Fade to Black is in the house! Tomorrow morning I will accept the proof (provided, I don't find anything totally insane tonight), and then I will order my initial shipment.
October 14th, 2009... I received word that within 5 days, the publisher will be mailing a physical copy of Fade to Black to me.
October 12th, 2009... Fade to Black has entered the 'Imposition' stage. This is where the publisher formats the files for printing. They're saying this process takes approximately 7 business days.
October 8th, 2009... I just approved the final interior copy of Fade to Black. I'm very excited!! One step closer to having it in my hands!
October 4th, 2009... Tonight I finished yet another read through of Fade to Black. I'm happy to say that I still enjoyed it very much. I've sent the changes (can you believe there were 17 of them?) off to the publisher, and now we wait for five days while they work their magic.
September 16th, 2009... This morning in my inbox I received the cover for Fade to Black. It is PERFECT! It's exactly what I had envisioned from the beginning. As soon as they send me the .jpeg file I'll post it here. If you've signed up for my newsletter, I'll be sending the pdf attached to the newsletter this afternoon.
September 11th, 2009... The cover and interior mock-ups were nearly perfect. I'm just going to have them airbrush a couple of things out and then they'll be awesome! I think they completely capture the mood of Fade to Black. Estimations are that it'll be nearly 450 pages and that it will be available early November. I'm sad that it's been pushed back, but want it to be exactly what we've all been waiting for.
September 4th, 2009... Today, I found the PERFECT pic for the cover of Fade to Black. I sent it off to the publisher and they've promised new mock-ups by the 11th! YAY! *does happy dance*
September 3rd, 2009... Got the mock-ups of the cover today. They weren't what I was expecting. I didn't love them. Tomorrow I will send back the changes. Then we wait again--5 to 7 business days.
August 28th, 2009... I spoke with my design team this afternoon to make sure we were on the same page with our vision for the cover art of 'Fade to Black'. They're supposed to have the mock-up, as well as a sample of how the interior text will look, to me by the 10th of September. Woo-Hoo!! One step closer!
August 20th, 2009... Today, I received approval for the cover copy (the text that goes on the back of the book and such). I'm really happy with how it turned out. Check out the 'Fade to Black' page to read it.
