Massive Production Update!
First off, have a look at the first draft of the cover for K. J. Parker’s devious and twisty new novella, Purple and Black. Artist Vincent Chong has a little revising to do, but we (and the author) couldn’t be happier with the direction he’s taken the dust jacket in.
Now, to the main production update. The following books are all fully designed and being proofread:
– The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury);
– Where Everything Ends (Ray Bradbury);

– The City and the City (China Mieville);
– Thousandth Night and Minla’s Flowers (Alastair Reynolds);
– The Last Colony (John Scalzi);

The following are done and ready to go to the printer in their time slot:

R. Martin); Hamlet’s Father (Orson Scott Card); The Shop of the Mechanical Insects (Ray Bradbury); and a few surprises we can’t even mention yet.
