Some of you have been reading my stories that I've been posting in my LFTW thread on this sub-forum, either in that post or on my site. For those who haven't, short, short version: It's a site full of fairy tales that avoid the softened way that fairy tales have become thanks to Disney and instead draws inspiration from old folk tale mannerisms and content (without retelling those stories, because everybody seems to be doing that these days).
Those stories have added up, and it's time to put them out in book form.
The collection will contain everything that's currently on the site (and into early January's updates), but that's only half the book. New stories make up the rest, as I wanted the book to offer more than what's online, without removing content from the website as I've seen some others do (PBF). The book also contains some illustrations by my wife, who also drew the cover.
The innards aren't entirely finished (couple bits left to edit, and gotta get that damn back cover of the book part written), but we're almost there and should be ready to get the proof ordered by the weekend.
I anticipate the real challenge will be converting it into this newfangled eBook thing.
