Happy New Year, Everyone!
We are gearing up for a fun year of books, books, and more books!
First up, Jeff is shipping out copies of S&N Unbound. Sometimes the Magic Works is in the warehouse too but our copies received significant dust jacket damage in transit to us due to poor boxing. We are in the process of getting new dust jackets. When we do, we will begin shipping those out too.
We are also expecting Uprooted and Street Freaks Limited & Lettered Editions later this month from the printer. When we receive them, Jeff will get to shipping them too. He's going to be a busy boy. That's good. Keeps him out of trouble. Mostly.
But for today, I wanted to share some fun Unfettered III news. Artist Kaitlund Zupanic joined us, producing interior art for the anthology. She's also finished her work and it's fantastic, in the same mold as what Don Maitz did for Unfettered II.
Unfettered III is also completely finished. We have sent files to the printer for the hardcover ARC, the Emerald City Comic Con Exclusive Edition, and the trade hardcover edition. We should also receive our paperback ARCs for Unfettered III this week, to be mailed to professional reviewers, bloggers, and the like.
Since we will be receiving paperback ARCs in the next few days, we thought we'd offer a giveaway on Goodreads! They do a great job at it. Click HERE to add it to your book shelf and enter the giveaway!
We will also be doing several online giveaways on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter once copies come in! Details on those giveaways will be on the social media platform you use--so be sure to follow all of them to increase your chances!
One last note. The first printing trade hardcover of Unfettered III will be limited to 7500 copies. According to our book distributor, 4500 copies are already pre-ordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores. That only leaves 3000 copies out there. So if you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet from your favorite bookseller, you'd better do it ASAP. Don't say I didn't warn you!
And if you want a copy signed by me, click HERE! We will only have 500 copies in the warehouse.
All right. More information coming soon, including some excerpts to be featured on Tor.com and other places!
Thank you for your support, as always. We couldn't do this without you!
Best Wishes,
Shawn Speakman
Publisher & Editorial Director
