The Grim Tide Is Coming In

Update #10 · Dec 13, 2011 · comment

Grim Tides is written, and revised, and pretty much done -- it's in the hands of my copyeditor now, and once I make her corrections, it will be complete. (I'm very pleased with how it turned out, and the main villain for this book is probably my favorite villain ever.) I'll start posting chapters on January 2 as planned, and I'll send a link to the page where I'll be serializing the novel once it's ready.

As for rewards: the e-books should go out in January.  The physical books, chapbooks, artwork, etc. will take a bit longer, since producing those is more involved, but all rewards should be done and delivered before the serial ends in the summer. I'll be in touch about e-mail addresses for e-books and physical addresses for other goodies soon.

Thanks to all of you, again. Writing this book was tremendous fun, and I hope reading it is even more fun for all of you.
