While I've been busy with the "alien baby" doctor visits - and taking silly "selfies" to show the doctor for the next visit, since the bump seems to disappear whenever I go into a doctors office to have it looked at (see the circled area in the pic, which one friend notes looks like a baby's foot pressing against the skin even though it's not even close to where a baby's foot would be if I could still get preggers) - the team at Northern Bard Publications has been getting the re-release ready to go.
After being told by the printer that the writing on the back was too close to the edge, the art director started over on the back cover, bringing the background to the same light intensity of the front cover before restoring the writing with the same font as she used for the titles and author name. I like this new look, as it looks very "pulled together". I'm still VERY impressed that Derek Yates was able to come up with the exact look I needed to make it look like Chase Benton is in an alley in New Orleans, thinking about the young woman he's just met.....
So, the official "release date" for the 2nd printing of The Tiger's Cub is April 7th (my mom's birthday, as it seemed the right thing to do) and I'm thinking of offering free Kindle downloads for any who have been wanting the book and have a Kindle, but are short on funds. In the meantime, there's been a CT scan done that will hopefully show what that "hide and seek" bump is and whether I'm going to need surgery to deal with it.
In the meantime, the art director at Northern Bard Publications is all excited about having found some local farms that still have silos that she can go out and take photographs of once the snow melts. There are a lot of thoughts about whether or not we'll actually need to have a model for the re-release of Night of the Tiger, but I'm being strongly encouraged to begin the editing process for the interior - which needs some sincere re-writing before the newest release for the original book in the series - and there are some photos being passed back and forth.
Here's hoping that I miraculously "find" the funding should the decision be to hire yet another model - or models - to represent Kyle and Teresanna on the new cover.....

We're officially live on Kindle while we wait for the print proof to arrive (as it seems to still be in the hands of the USPS). As a special deal, once the paperback also goes live, you'll be able to get a free Kindle copy with your paperback.

Ok, so the link doesn't work in comments, so just cut and paste it.
DeleteP.P.S. The "alien baby" is just a very small hernia that is to be repaired before the end of April. Too bad. Some of my friends were looking forward to a video of a strange creature I'd birthed.....*grin*
