Some of you will recall my January 2021 post regarding the fate of the 20th Anniversary edition of Fatal Shadows. In that post, I revealed the cover art, shared a bit of what would be included in the collection, and tried to guestimate when I might eventually release the book.
Wellll, obviously it took longer than I'd hoped, but the final coda has at last been written (it's almost seven thousand words long, the length of a short story)!
In addition to illustrations, all the AE character interviews and codas have been gathered, and we have Chapter One of Fatal Shadows rewritten from Jake's POV. There's also an abandoned short story (from Jake's POV) that I started for the Millivres Prowler Group way back in the day.
All in all, there's about 30,000 words worth of bonus materials! Which, if you're a longtime fan of the Adrien English series, is a lot of fun extras.
The book is now with my editor and after that, it goes to the SO for formatting. It will only be available in print--there is no plan for a digital version. The idea is to put it into hardcover. Hopefully, that's not cost prohibitive. We'll see.
I'm not doing preorders. I'll let you know when the book is available for purchase, which hopefully will be within the next couple of weeks.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI am so very excited for this, and yes please...Hardcover definitely!!! This is a unique and important edition and deserves the best. BTW I've always thought you should offer "variant cover" Hardcover editions of your books...I bet they would be very popular! After all, vinyl records are making a comeback.....RDAFAN7
