The final edit is in my hands! Or as I like to call it, the no-more-messing-with-this-darn-thing-you've-gotta-stop-sometime edit. My good friend, Kerrie Moyer (who's been acting as unofficial editor on this book for well over a decade) went over it with a fine-toothed comb, making sure we'd eliminated every last spelling error and continuity goof that may dwell within. If any slip by into print, we'll just say a wizard did it.
Cover work is still in progress. Matt Erkhart is sketching up some ideas I sent along, plus I asked him to toss in any of his own, 'cause you gotta keep your artists happy, and one of the best ways is having them draw stuff they like as well. Speaking of art, a big thank-you to Don Walsh and Michael Davis for volunteering to distribute some of our lovingly-rendered promo flyers beyond the borders of Michigan. Don brought 400 of 'em to the Great Falls Gaming Rendezvous last weekend and came home with about 50, plus some of the attendees were overheard discussing it, so I daresay I'll need to get a table at this con once we're got the book printed up. By the way, if anyone else wants a bundle of flyers -- big or small -- to pass around wherever you live, let me know.
And now, I have an important question for you fine folk. I've been thinking about perhaps utilizing one of those print-on-demand merchandise websites out there like TeePublic to help generate some extra revenue for this crazy venture. Basically upload some images and book quotes and such so they can be printed on t-shirts or mugs or notebooks or what-have-you. Would anybody out there be interested in buying some Swords & Sixguns merch, and if so, what would you like to see? Keep in mind that something high-end like action figures is a long ways off (though I'd love to make some!).
Okay, that's all for now. Have a great weekend, and keep checking back here for more updates.
