Oddly enough<\/strong>, I first posted the art above exactly three years ago, on June 18, 2018. It\u2019s the cover for the new paperback edition of The Year of the Warrior<\/a><\/em>. Baen Books still publishes the e-book, but I have their clearance to produce and sell this corporeal version. Various obstacles have arisen since that time to prevent production, but I finally took the bit in my teeth a few weeks back, and arranged with a printer I know to get this thing done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan with this version is to sell it personally, at the Viking events I participate in. If you\u2019re hoping to get it on Amazon, that probably won\u2019t happen, because (I assume) I\u2019d have to ask questions and go through a bunch of red tape to arrange for that. And I\u2019m too old and lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure when I\u2019ll actually have them in my possession. The printer sent me the galleys today and told me there\u2019s a problem with the cover. I think I\u2019m going to have to add space at the top and bottom to fill out the cover shape. But I haven\u2019t looked at it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m too old and lazy. I’ll get to it over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really like that cover, though. It would have had me wiggling like a fishing worm, back when I was a teenager. Jeremiah Humphries did it, and I think it\u2019s my favorite cover that\u2019s ever been done for one of my books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if I can just find a few more events to flog them at this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
