Just read a bit about Quark. They killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
Working with it must have been migraine inducing.

Oh wow, that brought back a lot of memories... none of them very good, ha!

Thank you for mentioning this! I know the usual approach with Patreon is to bug everyone you know until they sign-up or murder you, whichever comes first, but I've been trying to be as low key as possible. Hopefully, if people like the stories, they'll tell a few friends, etc. Thank you again!

You're most welcome. I wasn't sure whether to mention it here or not. Figured easier to ask for forgiveness than permission . And I think ya have a few friends around these parts.

I'm considering one of the options above Brian. I'll let my decision be a surprise though...

I still use Quark. Never did find any love for InDesign - maybe because I never gave it a chance after the first version. I have it but never use it.

Were the Mccammon books announced to the pay for a newsletter people first?

If you're talking about the CDC then I believe so.

[Brian James Freeman]

Were the Mccammon books announced to the pay for a newsletter people first?

The Cemetery Dance Collectors Club was emailed on Friday with their exclusive 20% discount.

Then on Monday we emailed anyone who had ordered at least one item in the last year to give them a 24 hour head start. We often do that since we feel those who have ordered directly from us deserve first shot at any books we think we might sell quickly (King, Hill, McCammon, Barker, etc).

By the way, members of the Cemetery Dance Collectors Club pay for a lot more than a "newsletter." Members receive:

1) Exclusive special offers and discounts sent straight to their inbox for the next 12 months including exclusive discounts on new books, exclusive sales of collectible books we can't offer the general public because we have so few copies, advance notice on new special offers and Limited Editions, and many other deals. (Members often see books that are never offered to the general public)

2) Advance notice of new Cemetery Dance Limited Editions before the general public and discounts of up to 30% off the retail price.

3) Advance notice of books from other publishers before the general public and discounts of up to 30% off the retail price. (In addition, whenever we only receive 25 or 50 copies of a signed Limited Edition from another publisher, those copies are offered first to the CDCC -- and if all the copies sell, those titles are never offered in the regular newsletter.)

4) Advance notice of special offers such as Grab Bags and other heavily discounted deals.

5) Opportunities to purchase books and other collectibles never offered to the general public. (When we have so few copies of a collectible that it would quickly oversell, we often email JUST the Collectors Club, so those collectors have the opportunity to add something very cool to their collection that we can't offer the general public. Some examples of what we've offered in the past include Stephen King signed Limited Editions, signed and framed Stephen King artwork, books that were Out of Print on publication that we had a few extra copies of in our warehouse, and even some incredible items from private collections that we sold on consignment.)

6) Special MEMBERS ONLY "sneak peek" production updates at unannounced projects

7) Exclusive Bonus Items Produced ONLY For Members... This varies from year to year but items have included exclusive Limited Edition books printed just for members, CD hats, shirts, coffee mugs, and other items of that nature.

Do current members get offered membership renewal before it hits general public?

8 ) Personal attention from Mindy - She will handle all problems on a 24/7 basis, even when she's on holiday.

I can only assume this is a CDCC perk, she can't possibly be doing this for everyone!!

Yep... and a discount on the next membership, too.

I finally had a chance to post a few samples of Erin S Well's interior artwork on the Robert McCammon product pages:

Her art is so cool.

I agree. I love that drawing of the little kid and the witch.

I was a first timer this year with the half membership and I will be signing up every year from now on. Definitely worth it! Please do a clothing item

To avoid confusion, I changed my name from jnbball to C1TIZEN_X

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program. I've seen a lot of talk about the membership but have never seen anything about what it costs for the yearly membership. Is it the same every year, or does it change depending on what is going to be offered?

The price has gone up each year, but we took a survey and i was hoping for less "freebies", I E Hat, Keychain, etc...

JUST A REMINDER 2 years ago current members got a discount, last year we did not. I was hoping you could offer the discount again this year to long term members and charge more for the newbies!!!

I was new at the 1/2 Year Offer after passing on it in previous years. The CDCC has simultaneously saved me LOADS of money AND broken the bank! My husband is starting to look at me crosseyed when he sees another CD box coming in. My only saving grace is that I get to say that everything is 1/2 Price since I stocked up on the CDCC Gift Certificate sale.....let's just not tell him about how much I spent on those gift certificates!

I'm looking forward to being in for the entire year from now on!

It DOES work that way, doesn't it?! When the insurance company said they were totaling my car, one of the things my boyfriend asked was: "When we go to the buy another one, do you think they'll take CD credit?!"
