dr_pretentiousSome parts of self-publishing are going faster than I expected, and some more slowly. I just posted a project update on Kickstarter, to include what I learned on the way to getting these lovely blurbs for the book cover:
The Imlen Brat opens in quite enjoyable territory. Then things start opening up, and moving in surprising directions. A delightful beginning. I look forward to seeing Stisele’s future in all its colors.
— Rich Horton, Editor, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy
The Imlen Brat is a tale of court intrigue, fast-changing alliances, and the constant subtle peril of being an adopted daughter in an enemy royal house. It's a compact Game of Thrones, with mighty pirate kingdoms, weather wizards, quarrelsome ghosts, curses, and secret magics. Don't miss it!
— John O’Neill, Publisher and Editor, Black Gate
Aaaaand the release date slides to no-earlier-than-Bastille-Day, this time for a small, simple reason I could probably have avoided. Frustrating. But I'm still getting to put this book out there beautifully, the way I want to see it done, by means of other people's money. I'm pretty sure the only way I'm letting those people down is by running later than I'd hoped by a couple of months. Here's hoping that stays the only way.
