Publication Schedule

Copyrighting is DONE! I still have 40 pages to fill out because that is what the stem graphics are calculated for. But I'm sure I can set up the next book in the series an wrap things up in a bow in 40 pages. I can always include some sketches and reference detail for the different characters in the Glossary if I need more content.

The book trim size of 6" x 9" was recommended by Amazon and that is what I'm using. This is larger than the paperbacks I'm used to purchasing. But using this trim size, the book is still nearly 400 pages. It is definitely time to finish this first edition and start the next book in the series 'Rage of Harmony'.

Printed books are Expensive to produce in small quantities! eBook distribution is reasonable. But to allow for both printed and eBook distribution, the book price needs to be set at $14. That is a crazy price! But I should be able to discount the eBook pricing once it is published. If I set it lower than $14/book there is a good chance I would be charged for each copy someone purchased. I can't risk that. Now I know why some of my favorite authors have high prices on their new books.

I don't imagine I'll be selling enough printed books to make a difference, anyway.

So, now that the copyright has been granted, we are just waiting on the final book cover graphics changes to accommodate the ISBN number and the thickness of 400 pages, inside.

Once the final review is completed, the printed and eBook versions can be available on amazon.com almost immediately. I am planning a release by May 15, 2017.
