July 16, 2010: One thousand fully edited, final production copies of Ashes of Our Joy were delivered this evening. Click here to order a copy! UPS delivered the shipment one day late, but the books look great. All current orders will be shipped tomorrow via priority mail. |
July 10, 2010: Our first 'real' print run of Ashes of Our Joy should
be delivered July 15: 1,000 copies. The text has been carefully re-edited from the
100 copy pre-release print run, the cover art has been improved, and an
official ISBN, bar code, and endorsements added. The initial
print run has sold out, so shipping for orders recieved between about
July 8 and July 16 will be somewhat delayed. All such orders will be
shipped priority mail as soon as the new books arrive. |
June 14, 2010: Total book sales (Bright Against the Storm plus
Ashes of Our Joy) have now exceeded 500. |
May 21, 2010: Ashes of Our Joy is now for sale here! However, the initial, 100-copy print run will sell out soon! A larger print run is planned for June or early July. |
May 14-15, 2010: Both Bright Against the Storm and Ashes of Our Joy are offered for sale at the FEAST homeschooling convention in San Antonio, TX. |
May 12, 2010: An initial print run of Book Two, Ashes of Our Joy is delivered: 100 copies. |
March 2, 2010: The second print run of Bright Against the Storm is delivered, 3,000 beautifully printed copies. |
Jan 7, 2010: Less than a month after full delivery of the first print run, we've already sold over 200 copies of Bright Against the Storm. Many have been given away as well, so the 304 books from KD Press are essentially all gone now, except for those that were defective. We're digging into the beautifully-printed thousand from Total Printing Services to fill new orders. As the new year gets underway, we're planning lots of new advertising, a second print run for Bright Against the Storm, and, of course, the release of Book 2, Ashes of Our Joy, probably in April or May. |
Dec 26, 2009: Bright Against the Storm has received its first online review! Thanks to Anna Pedersen for her kind words and insightful comments. |
Dec 14, 2009: Delivery is complete for the first print run of Bright Against the Storm: 1304 books. About 15% of the 304 books from KD Press have small binding errors and will not be sold. The 1000 books from Total Printing Services look perfect. The book is already selling well through this website (purchase here ), largely due to an ad printed in World Magazine. |
November 13, 2009: Bright Against the Storm, book one in The Epic of Karolan, has been printed! The first shipment of about 250 books is due to arrive November 19, 2009. You can order a copy here here very soon. |
