I received word that THE SHADOW FILES is being packaged and readied for shipping. My printing rep, Rebekah, was kind enough to send photos of the books being prepared for the journey across the Pacific Ocean to our shores, their eventual destination the Port of Los Angeles, and from there, my storage unit, where I will gather copies for shipping to their real eventual destination, everyone who ordered copies.
Personally, I estimate arrival of the books anywhere from mid-June to early July, while hoping for sooner rather than later. Once I have info on the departure date and Estimated Time of Arrival, I’ll post those details ASAP.
While all the pre-order Variant copies are already spoken for, I did have a few extra printed to have available for sale at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Chances are this will be the last and only time people will be able to acquire a copy of the Variant Edition. My signature, whether personalized or not, will cost $25. (I have to make up the increased shipping costs somehow.)
So what’s next after this?
Currently, I’m working on more material for the SHATTERED TOMORROWS graphic novel as well as THE LARA-SU APP, some of which I’ll post soon, but there’s other projects being worked on as well.
Ethan is currently at work recoloring every page of material featured in HER MAJESTY SALLY, which I hope to display some samples later this summer or fall. There’s also discussion of putting together THE ENDGAME SAGA. The main reason I’d like to get two books in the can for printing is to save on shipping costs, but it remains to be seen if the schedule is doable or not.
Regardless of whether or not THE ENDGAME SAGA goes to print, the KEN PENDERS’ KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME TWO will most definitely come after HER MAJESTY SALLY, especially since one of the Sally stories leads into the adventure THE FORBIDDEN ZONE featured in the KNUCKLES OMNIBUS.
At some point, I’ll start recruiting talent as I’d like the GEOFFREY ST JOHN OF THE SECRET SERVICE volume to be a mix of old and new material. I’d also like to turn over preparation of the reprint volumes to others while I focus on the follow-up volumes of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES.
Bottom line: as long as you guys keep ordering the books, I’ll keep making them. Right now, get ready for THE SHADOW FILES, as they’ll heading this way soon. Thanks and take care.
Exciting!
Looking forward to The Shadow Files, as well as everything that’s to come!
I like that you’re working on the Lara Su sequel. Just to let you know. I might need help to order that book when the time comes. I have no idea how to order that book. I hope I can understand your instructions over the phone just because of brain being slow and having trouble keeping up. I’m not fishing for compliments. I’m just telling you a fact. No rush.
I typed something but didn’t see it. That’s weird.
Wow you busy beaver. You’re really going at it. Good for you.
I will buy the Lara Su Chronicle sequel when it’s time. But no rush.
You have many irons in the fire. Look at you go.
