    Yeah, so this happened today




    After four days of wrestling with one of the most horrible courier companies known to man, my advance copies of Rack Toys are here.

    This is the first time I've ever actually held my book and I admit I was shaking. Mostly because I was really worried that there would be something, anything in there that would make me want to not release it.



    There are little things in here I'd like to do again, but I think that's an author's prerogative I doubt the majority of folks would notice these things but take pleasure in knowing that they make me crazy.

    Anyway, these samples will go to family and friends, distributors and the crew that helped make this book a reality. The rest of the copies are already on their way set to arrive in December.



    If anybody needs me I'll be reading.

                Big congrats Brian! It looks fantastic, I can't wait to curl up and spend a few hours with this book. I'm glad that everything turned out ok with the actual book, I'd have been a nervous wreck waiting for it if I was in your shoes, must be a huge relief for you.

                Too bad your name is spelled wrong on the cover though.

                  Absolutely... You should celebrate. You've done so much for our community, you deserve a moment to revel in this.

                  And as far as the slight changes you might make... I can assure you could make those changes, send it off and then you'd find some new things you'd want to change. You're a creative and engaging writer so I'm sure that only helps share your passion for this. I just want to know when I can order my copies!
