#ty game

OOOH MY FIRST LIMITED!!!

I haven’t been blogging much lately. Partly that’s because I was traveling over the summer, and when I got home I was working on the books that need to be ready for MFF, plus the other stuff I’m going to have to do as GOH of that convention (I co-authored a nifty conbook story!).

The reason I’m blogging now is that one of those tasks is more or less off my plate. I delivered the manuscript of Ty Game, the spinoff novel from the Out of Position series, to Sofawolf today, and the art seems to be on track, so hopefully we will be ready to release it at MFF! Keep an eye on my social media and Sofawolf’s, because we’ll almost certainly offer a pre-order once we have a delivery date. So even if you won’t be going to the con, you’ll get a signed copy. E-books will be on baddogbooks.com right around MFF and on other retailers in January (I’m going to predict in advance that furry retailers will be your best bet for this book, because Neverwolf’s done some fantastic illos, including a couple that are possibly a little too risqué for mainstream retailers, but we’ll see who complains…). No audiobook plans yet. The print version will be paperback only, I believe–no hardcover.

If you haven’t heard about Ty Game, well, you should be reading my newsletter (http://bit.ly/kyellmail). Briefly, it’s the story of Ty Nakamura, who might be familiar to you from the OOP series, and especially one or two scenes from Over Time. You’ll get to see those scenes from his point of view as well as what led up to them and what happened after, plus a whole lot more. Interior illos are by Neverwolf, who is showing them off on his Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/theneverwolf/posts) in advance of the book being published.

Now I’m going to finish up the draft of the new Dev and Lee book (which you can follow on my Patreon if you subscribe at the $20 level) and then start on the third Calatians book (stay tuned for how you might be able to follow that online as well…!).

It’s been a busy fall. Hope yours has been good!

(Apart from the nightmare hellscape the U.S. has become, I mean.)

I’m pleased to let you guys know that I’ll be working with Neverwolf (NSFW art) for the interior illustrations of Ty Game (the OOP spinoff novel coming out at AC next year). Take a look at his stuff and I think you’ll see why he’ll do a great job! If you want to see some of the interiors, WIPs, etc. before they get published to the public, take a look at his Patreon as well. And if you want to read parts of Ty before the book comes out, take a look at my Patreon too. 🙂

We’ve worked out some of the scenes he’ll illustrate and I’m really excited to see them come to life. Stay tuned for more details and previews and stuff!

If you’ve been waiting to buy the Ty Game e-book at places other than this one, you should be able to find it this weekend or early next week at the latest. I’ve sent it to the major furry and non-furry retailers and it should be good to go.

PLEASE NOTE that due to past problems with explicit images, the Kindle and iTunes versions do not have one of the interior illustrations (dis one, NSFW of course) that the other versions have. Google, Kobo, and your furry retailers will have all ten interior illustrations, and if you need a Kindle version, all the furry retailers sell a fully illustrated Kindle version that will drop right into your Kindle or Kindle software or whatever.

(The calculus of which images to take out and which to leave in is a complicated one and the retailers are not consistent on it, but I’m making an effort here to be consistent with previous guidelines as best I can. Basically there’s an image I left in and one I took out and the line between them is kinda blurry but I felt it was important, and in the past it’s been important that I demonstrate a good faith effort to align with the retailer policies so that’s what I’m trying to do.)

From now until November 27 (that’s in just over a week), you can pre-order my new book Ty Game and get it signed by me! I’ll be flying out to Minnesota next week JUST to sign all these books you order because I love you all and want you to be happy.

If you’re going to MFF, you can pick up your pre-order there, OR you can just buy one there. I’ve got a lot of panels to do, but you should be able to find me at the dealer’s table when I’m not at the panels (schedule forthcoming or you can just look me up on MFF’s Sched.org). Both artists who worked with me on this book, :iconrukis: and :iconneverwolf:, will be at MFF as well, and originals of some of the interiors will be in the art show there.

The blog post linked above has all the details for this pre-order. E-books and audiobooks and all that other stuff that is not part of this pre-order will follow the usual procedures for my books, and of course will also be announced on this space when they happen. We are not doing a hardcover edition of this book, so paperback only.
