I really feel for you Rob.

Have you thought about going with Lightning Source? I don't know too much about it, but I know Camille from EDF has looked into it, and it's probably going to be the way we're going with our "best-of" antho.

hi Rob.
 
I am trying hard to be patient, but an update would be nice. I've been hovering over this thread for months, hoping for news.

Hi all,

Sorry, I've spoken about this in other places, just not specifically here on this thread. Forgive my not thinking you would have attached email notifications to here and nowhere else.

My local printer basically defaulted on the project after me pouring tons of time and effort into giving a small businessman a shot. I am working with an online printer right now and will have copies in hand shortly ("shortly" is as accurate as I can be right now).

As clearly as I can say it, the project is not dead only woefully delayed. I understand when projects take long times to wrap up they tend to disappear. That is not the case here. Authors and prospective readers have been inhumanly patient, and I thank you for it. Where the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be an oncoming train before, the light this time is an actual exit.

Thanks for the update, Rob. So does this mean the printer has it, or that you are going through the process all over again?

Thanks so much for not giving up. I'm sure it will be a great book when it comes out.

Thanks, Rob, for posting. I'm really hoping this all works out--not only for the sake of my own little story, but because I've been anxiously awaiting Black Dragon, White Dragon and the Magistria books. The covers alone are attractive and intriguing enough, but thanks to the sneak peaks you've offered here, I know what's in store in terms of content. I'm pulling for you.

Just as a little extra incentive, I've got a thumbnail of the BD,WD cover on my website (with a link to Ricasso, natch!), and for some reason Google has it as the second result if you search Google Images for "Black Dragon White Dragon."  I get a LOT of visits to my site from people searching for just that.  So there's a lot of interest out there for the anthology!

I can't wait to read the whole thing, myself. :)
