Test print copies of Faerie Blood! Whoa!

Okay, I say this entirely cognizant of how I am a big ol’ geek and of how much I loves me my ebooks: whoa, it gave me a bit of a shiver when solarbird brought me home these!

These, O Internets, are the only two print copies of the Drollerie edition of Faerie Blood that will ever exist. Dara and I have had Third Place Press print them up so that we could have a prop for the Kickstarter video we’re about to do–to show you exactly what the machine they use to make books can produce! And even knowing this, knowing these aren’t really the “official” printed copies of the book I’d like to share with you all, the sight of them still made me go holy crap this is a book with my name on it, in a way that the Drollerie ebook on my Nook or my iPad or iPhone never has.

apel has observed quite correctly to me on Twitter that there is a magic in tangible things, and I’m not at all immune to that even if so many of my books are in digital form these days.

I cannot wait to see the second edition of Faerie Blood, complete with Dara’s full layout and Kiri Moth’s awesome cover art, in this printed form. And I really hope y’all will get as big a kick out of it as I will, and jump in on the Kickstarter when it goes live! Join me, won’t you? Thank you!

Ayuh, we shall indubitably see you there when it launches!

Pretty books they are; I am right honoured to have had the opportunity to briefly fondle one of them, what with its delightfully-tactile weightiness and all. ^_^

Hee, thank you!
