More information on C&D2!!!

Aug 1, 2020 | Behind the Scenes, Declarations | 4 comments

I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for a release date and whatnot. I can’t quite give that out yet, but here’s some things along those line.

C&D has a publisher now!

More details will be coming soon. I will say that they have been a pleasure to work with, and I think you’ll agree they did a fantastic job. But as I said, more details will be coming soon.

C&D1 will be reissued!

Because Amazon does not allow a book to be transferred between publishing accounts, we decided the best option was to republish C&D1 with a fantastic new cover and better formatting than the O&H Books edition. Unfortunately, we cannot make this change to older ebook copies (and obviously not older print copies) because it’s a different edition. We have added nothing and changed nothing but minor fixes. Two or three minor changes for consistency could be called, if you tried hard enough, retcons, but, no, really, it’s the same book. Greedo does not shoot first.

It’s up to you if you want the newer edition or not, but both are still the same book. The old edition will be taken down some time after Amazon links them, and then we’ll have the newer edition. C&D will remain in KU.

We also will have a second hardback edition and third paperback edition, with vastly improved formatting. We’ll have even more details August 15th, along with a cover reveal!

C&D2 will come out in October or November THIS YEAR!!!

You heard it right. This is not quite a release date yet, but this is definitely a release date range. We’ll have more details–and an exact day–as the time approaches. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy it!

  4. Yay! Managed to lose (as in, “uh, did I forget that in the train? No way… Nooooo!!!”) the hardcover some time ago, so I might as well buy the new one.

Beginning of October Status Update

Matthew P. Schmidt My BlogI have been writing, ding dang it! Unfortunately, it hasn't been in either (A) things I've finished or (B) things I can talk about just yet. So... C&D2: Still no progress. Ushabti Online: Not enough progress. I realized I couldn't finish...

End of August Status Update

Matthew P. Schmidt My BlogSo, what's been happening in all my radio silence? Unfortunately, not much. C&D2 is on hold for a bit, because real life events began resembling story events too much, and I don't mean my heart was replaced by a magical stone that granted...

End of May Status Update

Matthew P. Schmidt My BlogI was actually planning to keep my progress secret, so as not to stir up hopes. Thing is, getting a first draft of a novel done is usually only part of the progress. Also, life events have been greatly slowing my progress in general. But,...
