On Making Hand-Bound Books

 
Picture
I've been talking about hand-bound, signed, & numbered copies of No-Injury Policy lately, and now there a few pictures from the construction stage of these special editions of my debut short story collection. 


While these a just a few pictures for now, keep tuned in to the blog for later updates on the hand-bound books. Next time, I'll show you better quality images of the finished product as well as some snippets of how I made the books. 


Of course, you can always request one here. Mind you, these can take awhile to produce. Intuitively, you might think the construction time causes the slight delay. However, it's actually procuring all of the materials. For instance, I travel to find a suitable book cloth for the hand-bounds, some of which is only carried in limited quantities. 


At any rate, check out the mid-stage of the hand-binding process. 


The Biggest Giveaway I've Ever Done.

Picture
Us masterminds behind Somewhere in the Shadows: The Anthology decided it would be cool to create a giveaway. 

Naturally, we wanted to give away copies of Somewhere in the Shadows. Instead, we thought it would be a lot cooler to have a competition. 

This contest is akin to an arcade game: Certain accomplishments reward in more tickets than others. Score the most points, and you'll win nearly every book published by every author. 

In other words, if you win, you might need to either buy a new bookshelf or expand your eReader's memory. I, alone, am handing out free paperbacks copies of No-Injury Policy and eBook copies of both #NIP & Excluded. 

Pretty good deal, right?
Here's how you play:

You pick a task. Each task is awarded a different amount of tickets. Say you do something on twitter, you just copy & paste the link into the box. If you visit a website, you copy & paste that link into the box. 

Ex. 

You read this blog.
Click on the tab for my website. 
Copy this link: http://bit.ly/11tI4vI

Paste it in the box. 
Boom! The machine is spitting out tickets.
