Cemetery Dance discussion thread

Grant has done at least one Donaldson book as a limited -- Daughter of Regals. I think there are UK limiteds of some of the Covenant books.

I've never read any of that series, but looking at the Wikipedia page it seems that it is a fantasy series. I always thought CD was a horror/thriller/dark fantasy publisher.

It's definitely fantasy.

We've been branching out a bit more lately. That is one series I would also love to do. Who know maybe one day.

Branching out! You mean there are other genres?

[Ben Staad]

Kind of a random thought...There already may be one but I've always thought that Tad Williams Otherland series deserves the signed limited treatment.

Oh, I'm sure I will.

By the way, I really dug your contribution to TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS, Brian.

Brian do you know when CD will be mailing out Doctor Sleep Slipcases both US and UK? For some reason I thought CD had started sending them out. Thanks Brian.

Update request...
Just curious to know if Justin Cronin's S/L'd "The Twelve" has made any progress?
Last I heard (approx 3 months ago) it was still in proof-reading.
My apologies if I missed a previous post.
Thanks

From the CD site:
"The Twelve by Justin Cronin:
All of the interior illustrations have now been turned in and Justin has returned the signature sheets, so all of that production work is done. The book is undergoing one last round of proofreading since our edition was designed from scratch, but we'll be able to get this title into the queue for the printer soon and the book will be published in 2014."

That round of proofreading is almost done. The last proofreader has been cross checking with the trade edition for any oddities he comes across. The files we received from the trade publisher were a mess because they use some new file format.

That narrows it down.

Also, our box maker closed for the holidays today before they could pack the cases for shipment, so they won't be shipped to us until the new year, unfortunately.

Brian

Any update?

[Brian James Freeman]

Any update?

Shipping next week!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

You mean I'll be getting yet another package from CD? This has to stop! (for those totally lacking a sense of humor, I'm JUST KIDDING!!!!)

[Br!an]

That narrows it down.

LOL I was trying to be helpful!

Brian's update didn't really narrow it down anymore.

Summer seems to be the earliest possibility.

[CyberGhostface]

Any hints for the Monday announcement?

[Brian James Freeman]

Any hints for the Monday announcement?

Sure. Stephen King likes this author.

You're probably right - I hope. Just went thru saved CD emails and got a laugh:

From October 2012:

You're receiving this email because you preordered our Deluxe You're receiving this email because you preordered our Deluxe Signed Limited Edition of The Twelve by Justin Cronin.

You were one of the lucky collectors who snagged a copy before
our edition SOLD OUT pre-publication. We're happy to report we finally
received the text files from the New York publisher earlier this month, and
our designer is hard at work on the design. We are on track for a spring
2013 publication date as previously announced.

From May 2013:

You're receiving this email because you purchased THE TWELVE by
Justin Cronin and we have an update for you.

More than half of the interior illustrations have been turned in
and Justin will be able to sign the signature sheets in June, so this book is on
track to be published later this year.

And don't even get me started on "Pure".

[Dan]

Any hints for the Monday announcement?

Sure. Stephen King likes this author.



Brian

Joe Hill?

[Brian James Freeman]

And don't even get me started on "Pure".

Yep, sometimes books take longer to publish than we would hope. This is probably not breaking news to anyone who has read this thread before. Our apologies for the delay and all of the hair pulling on your part while you wait.

Of course, you could include the other more recent updates where we continued to keep our collectors in the loop if you'd like. For example, in August:

"All of the interior illustrations have been turned in and we've been told Justin is hard at work on the signature sheets."

Or this one from November:

"Justin has returned the signature sheets and we've had the interior illustrations since summer, so all of that production work is done. The book is undergoing one last round of proofreading since our edition was designed from scratch, but we'll be able to get this title into the queue for the printer soon."

Brian

Joe Hill?

Probably not as much as Joe, but that's just a guess.

Another hint: we've never published this author before in any form.
