EveryTHING you need to know about your books!

This is meant to be another complete update, so you know exactly where we are in production.

• 1. Frozen Hell - Trade paperback

The trade paperbacks are done. North American copies have all shipped directly from the printer. UK/EU copies are being shipped to England in bulk and will be reshipped from there.  The printer did not provide us with tracking numbers.

• 2. Frozen Hell - Trade hardcover

The trade hardcovers (that's the edition with the dust jacket, not the leatherbound edition or the lettered edition) are done. North American copies have all shipped. UK/EU copies are being shipped to England in bulk and will be reshipped from there (it's cheaper. Slightly.)  The printer is not using tracking numbers.

• 3. Frozen Hell - Leatherbound hardcover 

We are supposed to receive them from the bindery next week. We will be shipping them from the Wildside Press offices, so they will go out with tracking numbers. They do not have dust jackets. (Yes, this is deliberate. You aren't supposed to put dust jackets on leatherbound books.) However, all the wonderful Bob Eggleton artwork is all there, including the wraparound cover illustration.

• 4. Frozen Hell - Lettered, leatherbound hardcover 

We are supposed to receive the book part from the bindery next week. However, the next step is to make the custom box for them, and I don't know how long that will take. They are hand made. Like the regular leatherbound edition, the lettered lealtherbound edition does not include dust jackets. (Yes, this is deliberate. You aren't supposed to put dust jackets on leatherbound books.) However, the wonderful Bob Eggleton artwork is all there, including the wraparound cover illustration.

• 5. Frozen Hell - Audiobook and ebook

The ebook bundle was the first thing sent out. It is in your BackerKit digital locker. 

The audiobook was the second thing sent out. It did not go to all backers, only those who added the $20 audiobook add-on. If you ordered it, it is already in your BackerKit digital locker.

• 6. Short Things - paperback and hardcover.

The Short Things book of short stories has not shipped yet because it is not finished. Remember, all of the stories had to be commissioned, then illustrations had to be commissioned, and we are still waiting on 2 of the stories. I'm hoping it will be ready in August. 

• 7. Bookmark/bookplate

These are my next project after the leatherbound Frozen Hell copies ship out. They are not done yet and have not shipped yet, but it won't be much longer.

Hello 

Hope you had a great weekend.

The printer has updated us that half of the books have shipped, and  the rest of them should be shipped in the coming week. Keep an eye on  your mailboxes!

If  you loved the audio book, make certain you tell our amazing voice actor  over at https://twitter.com/YuriLowenthal . We think he did a fantastic job and if you think so too, feel free to let him know.

The  leather bound copies are on their way, and there is still work being  done on the custom boxes for the limited edition copies.

Regarding  Short Things, the cover is done and now we are just waiting on our  artists to finish some of the illustrations. One of our artists on the  project was sick and unable to do any work for over a month, but they're  ok now and back to work.

If you like what you got enough to post about it online, do use our hashtag so we can find the post and like it. 

More updates coming very soon. Thank you so much for the support. Without you we could never make these books so great.

Behold the cover of Frozen Hell

We hope you had a great weekend. We have for you the cover reveal for Frozen Hell. The art is a hand painted piece by the one and only Bob Eggleton.   Bob did an amazing job on this and the other illustrations in Frozen Hell. 

More updates coming super soon (Like in the next few days).

Thank you so much for the support. We really think you are going to love these books.

FROZEN HELL shipping update
over 5 years ago – Thu, May 23, 2019 at 10:55:26 PM

Sorry, everyone, but FROZEN HELL has not shipped yet.  I'm on vacation and having trouble getting updates from the printer.  The last I heard, they were still looking at the spreadsheet and figuring out international shipping.

Please be patient. If it doesn't go out by the end of the month, I'll make sure it goes out as soon as I'm back (first week of June), even if I have to camp out on their doorstep! As far as I can tell, everything is ready to go. It's out of my hands.
