Technically one day late but since it didn't publish until the 12th, today is the official 14th anniversary of my debut self-published book In From the Cold.
I'd forgotten.
I usually do.
It's been a very long time since I've thought about that book and those characters. Sometimes I can't remember their names. Long Long time.
No, I'm not going to write a book about the making of this book. Because I honestly can't remember much about the inspiration or why I wrote what I wrote. I remember the bullshit with Cobblestone Press and the horrible editing that removed whole paragraphs and just left it that way. And the two weeks it was published and the fight to get my rights back that started before it was published.
That, I remember. The butchering of that book and the bullshit that followed. But, with pressure from other authors and some from the original cover artist, they cut their losses and I got my rights back, with the request that I wait six months to republish. Contractually, I didn't have to honor that request, but I did. And I had it edited again, from my original, and a new cover from the original artist. I think this book has had more new covers than any book I have. Other than Behind Iron Lace that is. But yeah, I think this one wins that award.
Anyway, happy official 14th anniversary to me for the launch of my self-publishing foray, and to In From the Cold finally seeing the light of day.
And to answer the question that will be asked. No. I have no plans to write the final story. It ended on a HFN and I'm leaving it at that. Though, I really should have the cover altered to change that word.
