This is an epic undertaking, as CLOCKWORK PHOENIX always has international authors -- past contributors have hailed from the U.K., Australia, Switzerland, and Thailand -- and getting a copy signed by everyone involves shipping that copy to each contributor in turn and covering their costs for sending it on to the next writer until we've included them all. For this level of support, we'll do it happily. You will be listed as a supporter of Mythic Delirium Books in all of our future book publications.
