IT CAME

I was sitting at the computer fiddling with some stuff when I saw a mail van drive up, stop in front of our building, and take off. I went down and THERE IT WAS! The Absinthe book!




There are a few things that need tweaking - Nick pointed out that it needs an "ADULTS ONLY" warning on the cover, and there's a little text that gets cut off in one place (plus it's generally just too close to the edge, I might have misinterpreted the directions on trim size) but overall it looks pretty good, and it's really satisfying to have a year's labor sitting there in my hands!

I think the changes I need to make might merit a second test print. Also I'm thinking I might try it through Amazon's Createspace which offers better prices (I only found out about them this week). Gotta decide if the timing will be too tight to have them for Rainfurrest. But... BOOK!

Very awesome; puts most self-press to shame. :)

Ooooo! I want one o' those.

I hope you have them ready for sale at Rainfurrest. But if not, you should definitely take preorders at the con! (I'm sure you know that; I'm just bouncing up and down excitedly with you.)

NICE! I bet the detail holds up better printed than it does in webcomics format...

The cover is so nicely laid out now - it seems a shame to muck it up with another blurb. Perhaps changing "A decorative romance" to "An adult fantasy" would suffice?

Or not. :\

Or no blurb at all. Surely your readers can deal.

Admittedly, the marked increase in sexual activity in my feed reader has kept me from reading it at work...

Looks very cool. I love the full bleed. I assume you went Lulu for the first one? I've not heard good things about Amazon's version of POD. Ask Chris as I think he went through them and wasn't pleased. Still, good for you! It feels REALLY good holding your own book in your hand, doesn't it? :"D
