Autographed and Personalized Copies Available
I have a limited run of 25 print copies that I'm selling from my website. They cost slightly more than Amazon, but I handle all the shipping and handling. To offset the pain of the extra cost, I will autograph these and add a personalized message that you send.
​
Non-autographed copies always available on Amazon
House of Massan: The Edge of Time is also available in print or eBook on Amazon. These won't be autographed. However, copies directly from Amazon cost a bit less.
Ten bits of trivia about House of Massan: The Edge of Time
-
The story comes in at over 100,000 words.
-
There are 32 Chapters, plus a prologue.
-
There are 33 Black and White illustrations, one for each chapter.
-
The cover was revised ten times. I initially generated the cover with AI-generated images and composited it into a final image. Later, I felt that doing the cover with any AI was cheating, so I spent a couple of months practicing my illustration skills and painted it myself. In a future blog, I will relate the pitfalls of AI Imagery and what I experienced that changed my attitude.
-
All illustration work was done in Procreate on an iPad Pro Air.
-
The Black and White illustrations took four months to finish.
-
Since May, I have proofread the book cover to cover ten times. Looking for mistakes in 100,000 words is a painstaking process!
-
​It took me two weeks to write the prologue. Why? I have no idea. I woke up early every morning, and the words rolled round and round.
-
My favorite chapter illustration is Chapter 23: Nikola Island.
-
I wrote most of the book using LivingWriter. It's not perfect, but I love that I can jump between platforms.
-
(bonus) The Sequel to House of Massan: The Edge of Time is underway.
