Absolute Darkness – gets a publisher.

2018 is already shaping up to be something interesting. Snow days in Savannah. New class to teach this quarter: Programming for Visual Effects at the graduate level. I’m super excited because I get to code…lots…and since I finished Rig it Right’s manuscript in December I get to spend some extra brain cycles having fun with code. Hazaah! That’s been on my todo list: code more.

Then, there is the newest development—an untraveled road that should prove illuminating. It was bitter sweet today when I had to click the button to retire my self-published book Absolute Darkness . It is no longer for purchase on Amazon, Kindle or Create Space.  Why? Because the rights to it have been acquired by a publisher. It will get a facelift and be officially published the summer of 2018! I’m curious to work with an indie press and am excited to see someone else believe in this book. That’s pretty awesome.  The publisher has a good amount of titles that come out each year.  Let’s see where this goes.  https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/publisher/82141 

So, it will be available soon on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com,  Amazon Kindle, BN Nook, Kobo, Apple iBooks, 24symbols, Page Foundry, Scribd, and Tolino, etc.

What timing, my other goal this year had been to put a new cover on the book and figure out how to make an audio book of it. So, instead I’ll go through an indie publishing process and learn how that works (as compared to Focal Press) and maybe we’ll get to that audio book yet.  It’s a possibility.

So that is pretty neat; I will technically have two books publish this year. But first, while those books are in production – I turn back to this quarter’s class and what fun we will have there.  This summer when I’m not teaching (but I am still an associate dean and administrating things = at a desk) I’ll have a little fun with some book signings per chance?  Could be.

Until then – bundle up and stay warm.  Heavens. Oh, and Happy New Year. It’s only the 4th but it feels like a month has passed since Christmas—I had such a blast on vacation.
