The Unbent Curve is released!
The Unbent Curve, book two of the Anna & Indy trilogy, is fully released at last! This time we have four editions: e-book, audiobook, paperback, and hardcover.
It was originally scheduled for release on June 1st, but I had to delay it to June 5th after I found a couple of last-minute typos in the text while listening to the audiobook version. Thankfully, Alan Dino Hebel and Ian Koviak at theBookDesigners are extremely quick at turning those sorts of changes around! The interior layout and cover titles are their clean and modern work.
After June 5th, I could see the book on Amazon, but I had to wait several more days for the audiobook to go live, since it takes ACX ten working days to approve the files once your narrator submits them. Oh, and a few days for the hardcover version from IngramSpark to link up in Amazon correctly. But now everything’s where it should be, and I can finally tell people about it.
Fernanda Suarez again turned in an epic cover, perfectly imagining how Anna and Indy should look after a couple of hard years’ adventuring in ancient Greece. And now there’s an audiobook version of both this book and The Gap Year, done by the wonderful Lisa Negrón. I have no idea how someone can narrate more than 30 hours of audio, while at the same time keeping dozens of different voices distinct and consistent, oh and also nailing the pronunciations of scores of exotic Greek names. But she made it look easy!
Victoria Miller proofread again, and found another ton of errors that I didn’t know I could make, plus many more that I just didn’t learn my lesson on last time. And then Varsana Tikovsky proofread again-again, since apparently I can make so many mistakes that it takes more than one person to find them all!
And finally, my highest thanks go out to the readers who helped me polish this book into what it is. I won’t link them here or use their full names for privacy reasons, the world being what it is today. But Su, Robin, Zane, and Nick went far, far above and beyond what I could have expected. I never really thought much about the role of readers until I wrote my first book, but they’re absolutely indispensable to the process. Maybe some authors can turn in a first draft that needs no improvement, but I’m not one of them!
