#0: Weekly Newsletter

Hey all,

This newsletter has been pretty much dormant for the last six months or so and I have decided to breathe some life back into it.  Over the last couple of years my book announcement method has been (for the most part) to wait until the book is actually in-stock and shipping before officially putting it up online for the general public to see (usually via twitter and usually multiple books at a time, as they are sent to me in batches).  2017 was a successful, productive year for Thunderstorm.  It is difficult to break the “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” rule, and I can still see some advantages for continuing with this old routine.

But…

I want to give each book its own announcement where it alone has the spotlight.  I want to give each author a definite/unchanging announcement date.  I want book collectors to see examples of the stuff we are creating, even if sell outs are immediate.  In essence, I want to do better.  I want to be better.

So…

Once a week something will be posted.  Many times it will be a new book announcement (the goal being very short preorder periods).  Sometimes is will be a production update.  Or maybe a general announcement about something new and upcoming.  Each post will be short and to the point.

I hope 2018 is going to be a good year for all of us… the authors, the artists, the designers, the editors, the book collectors, and the book publishers.

See you next week.

Paul
