Will it be a longer wait for Usher lettered traycases?

Will it be a longer wait for Usher lettered traycases?

Traycases always take longer, but I'm hoping they'll be done this summer. Mindy is the one who chases the traycase maker, and she confirmed for me today that this one is with him now.

Just wondering if the slipcases for Usher's Passing arrived last week as expected? It has been almost 7 weeks since the Production Updates page was updated and I imagine that progress has been made on several projects in that time.

Shipping of Usher's Passing starts this week. For what it's worth we have several projects in the warehouse that need to ship, but can only really ship one at a time. Usher's Passing is this week, The Night Eternal should be next week.

I totally understand, Dan. We all know you're understaffed and overworked and we appreciate you. That's terrific news about Usher's Passing. Thank you.

Ehh it's less that and more just poor timing. In this instance we had about 7 or 8 projects all either finish or show up at the same time, Night Shift, Night Eternal, Cold Dead Hands, Home, Little Girls, Later, 20th Century Ghosts, Little Silver Book, Hope and Miracles, and more I'm definitely forgetting. With Night Shift and Later almost back to back it really set back the schedule. New stuff showing up that jumps the line because more people are asking about it than the stuff that's here doesn't really help either (looking at you Usher's Passing).

Any updates on when we can expect the remaining books in the 2018 Forthcoming Grab Bag to be announced/published? I believe only one has been announced so far: the John Saul book and that one seems to be stuck in the proofreading stage. Any info on this grab bag will be appreciated as it has been awhile since we've received any updates. Thanks!!!

Any news on THE JUDAS TREE by Simon Clark or the mosaic book that came with that CD Collectors Club? Cannot remember which club it was.

I’ll ask about COLD DEAD HANDS then, as I’d sure like to see that one jump the line.

[Dan Hocker]

Me too Ron. Me too. Tentatively the plan is Usher's Passing, Night Eternal, Cold Dead Hands

I'm not 100% sure on these specific titles. But we have a lot of titles that are ready for the printer that just need to be worked into the schedule.

[slayn666]

I see the subtitle and description of Shocklines has been updated it's not an absurdity. Any chance this means it might be heading to the printer soon?

Guess not.

[Brian James Freeman]

Guess not.

All that Dan and I know is that there are a lot of books ready for the printer due to the backlog, and they're going in batches. Some are starting this week. We don't know which ones until Richard tells us. Unfortunately, I don't have news on SHOCKLINES. I'd love to see it started. I think my first professional sale is in there!

Poor Night Eternal, it keeps getting pushed back in the line.

I received shipping notice today so they have begun working it.
