Fatal Shadows: The Collector's Editon NOW IN DIGITAL!

 


Yes, Virginia, thanks to the gracious and timely intervention of Deb McGowan (a talented writer in her own right) at Inroad Publishing, there is a Santa Claus. Well, there is, but actually, I was going to say there is now a beautifully formatted epub version of FATAL SHADOWS: THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION. 

It's up for preorder most places excepting Amazon, and it will be going live December 16th (on Amazon as well as everywhere else). 

Smashwords

Barnes and Noble

Kobo

Google Play

I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU WHAT A RELIEF THAT IS. 

Anyway, while I continue to struggle with the concept of a collector's edition that can't actually be collected, I struggled more with the idea that a whole heck of a lot of Adrien English fans couldn't afford the collector's edition. 

In short, another one gets checked off the list.

Also, I'm going to go ahead and do the Advent Calendar this year, so if anyone has any contributions, send 'em on over. I don't know for sure there will be codas from me. I hope there will be, but Lament at Loon Landing HAS to be done this year. I've already lost nearly a full week of writing due to prepping for Thanksgiving. Why do I always imagine I'm going to be able to write during a week spent doing everything from rushing to get the last fall plants in the ground to polishing silver? How does dinner for twelve turn into a marathon of what amounts to gathering nuts for the winter. 

(Er, I don't mean my family are nuts. They are, but that's not my point.)

 I'm sure there's other news, but that's plenty for now. I still have strings of outdoor lights to untangle, a lost birthday present to track down from Amazon, three rose bushes and one hawthorne plant to transplant, Advent Calendar posts to write... And hopefully another couple of chapters to write...

COMING SOON! Fatal Shadows: The Collector's Edition

 


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.
