MY BOOK CAME!!!!!

[velvetpage]

I just got the proof copy of my book in the mail. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

It's one of only two or three copies of this edition - it's got a different cover from the copy that will be for sale, has a very interesting and entirely fictitious author bio, the picture from the icon above as the picture of the author, and it's absolutely beautiful and I love it and I'm thrilled with it and I should be ashamed of this run-on sentence and I DON'T CARE because I'm EXCITED!!!!

Tell us More!

I knew you were working on a book, but I missed the details. What's the title? Who'd you sell it to? What's it about?

The title is "Dream-Carver", and the publisher is Sanguine Inc, because the novel is based on one of their role-playing games (Ironclaw, to be precise.) This book has been finished for about two years now. The one you've heard me talk about it probably the as-yet-untitled Dolphin Book.

It's a furry fantasy (is it necessary to use both of those descriptors, or is fantasy included in the concept of furry?) pirate adventure novel, wherein a mismatched crew of ne'er-do-wells chases long-lost pirate treasure and discovers redemption in the process.

Hmm, I need a better one-line synopsis. That's a place to start, anyhow. :)

When I have a website available on which to order it, I will be certain to let everyone know. Probably multiple times.

Well, for what it's worth, I'd say that the two are separate. Much of my own work is furry, but setting is more in vein with contemporary/light sci-fi, so I'd hesitate to call any of it 'fantasy,' per se.
