Russ Shaffer - Embossed Engravings - original artworkThis morning I received the first mock-ups for the new cover for Conviction: a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by Skylar Hamilton Burris. As I’ve mentioned previously on this blog, the current cover on Conviction has long been a thorn in my side. It was what we had at the time, and I […]
The Proofs arrived on schedule late Friday afternoon, and I think we have really outdone ourselves with James Spurr’s One Sloop and Slow Match. It is a beautiful book, thanks to the generous donation of an image for our use from the Michigan Mairtime Museum’s Peter Rindlisbacher original “Flight of Little Belt”
I was well-pleased with the […]

Yesterday, I was forwarded the first review for James Spurr’s One Sloop and Slow Match. Here’s what it said:
One Sloop and Slow Match is a captivating and spellbinding masterpiece. The reader is transported back to a time when Great Britain’s naval forces were locked in a desperate struggle with the United States’ rag tag fleet […]
Jim Spurr’s One Sloop and Slow Match is as ready as I can get it. The author edits are all accounted for and addressed, the text block is formatted and ready to go with the exception of: Maps and Diagrams. Once I receive placement notes on these, I can drop them in and get the […]
Today I’m starting out in a good frame of mind. My Adobe is now working again, no thanks to Adobe Customer Service, BTW. If I were rating their performance, I would have to give them an F. Nice, friendly, polite — yes, they were all these things. But Solutions? Nothing there. In the end, if […]
