Project Update: Update: The Dark Thorn Proofs Arrived & News About UNBROKEN
Hi Everyone,
A quick note today because it is going to be a crazy week. More on that in a bit.
But I thought I'd share that I received proofs for The Dark Thorn. The printer is a bit behind on this but I received them, I approved them, and now the project can move forward at the printer. Below, there are two pictures so you can see what proofs look like. I'm especially excited about the Map of Annwn being folded and placed into upper tier books in a unique way. More on that when I receive copies.
Some of you have been buying my tarot card series. The first tarot card came about because I was at lunch with author Robin Hobb and her daughter Kat, and they asked the title of the book I was writing. I told him "The King-Killing Queen," and Kat immediately said, "Wow, that's a tarot card right there." I thought it such a good idea, I've done 8 of them so far! The last three on this Backerkit, actually.
Well, tarot card IX -- Master Librarian -- will be part of the Unbroken anthology Kickstarter which launches tomorrow at 8AM PT! If you pledge to a physical tier in the first 48 hours, you get the tarot card for free. So definitely keep that mind. The Master Librarian tarot card is based on my Sir Bevalor short story series and it features a man who may or may not be Mr. Terry Brooks. Ha.
Author line-up for Unbroken is below as well. The book is finished and we just need quantities from the Kickstarter to put it into production. I'm not ashamed to say it will be the SF&F anthology of the year.
If you have questions about any of this, do let me know! Have a great week, everyone!
With Magic,
Shawn Speakman
