Project Update: Oops! Update on The Dark Thorn! Not Unavowed!
Hey All,
I posted the wrong update here! Apologies about that.
Here is the update about The Dark Thorn. I'm about finished with the proofing read of the ARC. Mostly minor tweaks here or there to help with smooth reading and flow. Nothing major changing really, which is a good thing. I should be done with my read by the end of next week. Then files can be produced, sent to the printer, and the ebook can be completed and sent out to all of you! Except that by the end of October.
On the signing front, I received back the signature pages from cover artist Magali Villeneuve. I then sent them to interior artist Don Maitz. He has signed them and they are heading back to me. Then I have to sign and a few of the pages need to be signed by cartographer Jared Blando. More on all of that. But once files are ready, sig pages should be wrapped up and ready to be sent to the bindery.
So getting closer. I'm really excited about getting copies in of this book. I did receive The White Thorn hardcover ARCs in, finally wrapped them in new dust jackets due to the damage the original shipment sustained, and I'm about to ship out the first copies to those of you who ordered here. More news on that after I chat with BackerKit tomorrow to find out the best way to split the orders apart. I'll give you an update on that later in the week.
Okay, back to work. I'm awaiting copies of Patricia Briggs's new book at The Signed Page warehouse to arrive. Fingers crossed it is soon because I'm hungry!
