'Transubstantiate' by Richard Thomas - Now Out!

yes, matthew, i saw that...no reason it should be like that, and not sure why it is, obviously a mistake

should be to you now mike, or really, like today, tomorrow, this week for sure

I don't know if you posted this Richard - I know you sent it out on facebook.

Electronic versions available.

i did see that, FBooked it, tweeted, etc. - but thanks for spreading the word, always appreciate it, now if only Amazon would get off its huge, lazy ass and deal with my Kindle version there, i'd be happy - bastards

thanks

ah, bummer. must be a typeset issue or something. nevermind. you can iron that wrinkle out on the second print run!

FINALLY got mine today

sweet - they are landing all over the world today, gotten a lot of updates, notes, e-mails and pms - thanks for the support, brandon, means a lot, brother

and still no love for Los Angeles...but it will be mine...

man, sorry MPG, i was totally thinking about you today, i'm like "oh, mike MUST have gotten his now" - sorry, bro - i sent a package to canada and it took more time to get there than australia, so WTF, who knows how these things work

soon, brother, soon...thanks again for your patience...

if it doesn't land by next week, let me know for sure, and i'll dig deeper

Any chance this will be showing up on Kindle?

Yeah it is, Kirk. I think there's a thread or a link for it somewhere in the promotions sub forum. And I think amazon is meant to have the kindle edition up soon, but there's some kind of hold up.

Got my S/L hardback in the post today in England.

It is a thing of beauty.

fantastic, davey...so glad it got there! thanks for the support

@kirk - yes, it will be up on Kindle, right now there is a Kindle format at Smashbooks.com, Amazon is being slow, as usual, but it will be there eventually

thanks matthew for chiming in

Does anyone with the hardcover edition notice this?

quote fail?

are you talking about the font issue i brought up, Caleb?

FINALLY! I just got mine. Wheeee!My dust jacket seems a bit wonky (I'm full of complaints, aren't I?). The text on back wraps just around the bend of the cover, and the author photo is a bit stretched out, but I'm going to say it gives my copy personality.

Sweet, MPG, glad you finally got it. Yes there are several errors on the S/L, if you spot them all you win a prize. On the DJ alone I think there are four. The text too close to the edge, the author photo skewed, two more on the back alone! SIGH.

It's still a great-looking book! I'm blabbing about it to everyone, and not just because my name's in it.

Thanks MPG, appreciate it!

yeah it's a bit of a bummer, but really, they're all minor issues that can be ironed out. at least it's not riddled with typos and is actually a good novel, unlike a lot of the perfectly typeset garbage out there. i'll take a good read over pretty presentation anyway--not the presentation is horrible. geeeez. look at me, digging my hole.

i loved your book, Richard, just so you know.

thanks guys, no worries, i know, too many little things slipped through, but hopefully that isn't too distracting, and the read is still, overall, a good one

ah, like i tried to articulate, Richard, it's hard for you because you're the lab rat essentially. the new small press is starting their business with you as their debut author. there was bound to be a few minor bumps. but to reiterate, it's a great book, a great fucking read. congrats, mate.

thanks matthew, i knew there would be some problems, so hopefully the guys after me, Nik and the rest will all get it better

and then you on the second print run of Transubstantiate!

just got my S/L in the mail!

it looks great. the binding is sexy. love it. can't wait to re-read it with the bonus chapter. aahahahahhhHHH!

hahahhaha...thanks matthew, enjoy, glad you finally got it, and thanks for the support, as always, brother

just listened to a couple of the audio-stories too. i've already read a few of the stories, but they were awesome to listen to. nice little extra.

I hate you Matt...

wh-wh-whattt!?

haven't got your copy yet? want me to send you mine, Pete? i've got two! i think i'm gonna by another couple soon, so i can give them to some cats down under.

lol no I'm cool.

I'm going to buy one straight from Richard soon.

thanks matthew - haven't heard feedback on the audio yet - the last one, the vampire story with the woman reading it, is the best, i think "transmogrify"

pg - i contacted lynn before i came down to stl and she was supposed to send you another ARC, we're totally out now - if you don't get it by the time i get back, i'll personally send you a copy

i was going to send out a mass email to all ARC recipients to see who got theirs and who didn't, because WTF, that's just ridiculous

What were you calling them Richard? PRC's? lol

And I'm not trying to sound ungrateful. I know it's not your fault. Also I plan on buying a copy of the book in the next week or two anyway. Just trying to get the money situation straightened out. Going to Chicago for cousin's wedding. New tires on the car. Etc, etc...

So yeah, it's no biggie for me.

PRCs, yes - Post Release Copies

it just makes me worry how many OTHER people didn't get their copies - i mean i busted my ass to get a list of 40 great people that were up for blurbs, reviews, interviews, etc. and i can't have OWP screwing that up

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...makes hulk angry

I guess you consider me great, because I got a PRC!

Sorry, I was in the middle of editing that post (adding to it) and I got called away from my office.

glad it got there, mirka! not only are you great, you're a beautiful and unique snowflake too

damn. i wish one of my inscriptions read: dear matt, you are a beautiful and unique snowflake.

lol...well, buy another copy and i'll be happy to write that on there! kidding...that's chuck's line, so i can't use it
