I’m in as well. I’ve been meaning to get around to reading this one for years after perusing it at a bookshop once. I ordered through CD since I had store credit built up. The design looks great!

Ordered. This has been an expensive week.

Same, and same! I ordered right away. I've wanted to read this, and this looks like the nicest way to do so. It's a tad pricey, yes, but, looks very nice for the scratch. If it were literally $5 more- I'd back off. Weird, I know, but- Brian figured out the right price point, I guess.

I ordered this one from Camelot!

Ordered. This has been an expensive week.

I will make a decision on Suntups latest offering tonight so it may become an expensive week for me as well. The good news is that I will be getting this one through my pre-paid Patreon account so I do not have to worry about buying it.

Pre order placed. I have not read this book but I like the descriptions that I have read about it. It looks to be another great production from Lividian.

I wasn't a particular fan of the Greek chorus device in the book, but it's otherwise a great read of sorrow and regret and learning to move on as individuals and as a family under the weight of both. O'Nan is terrific, and the production values of this one look great...will definitely be giving this one serious consideration.

Hey, Brian. Camelot isn't listed as one of the retailers in the newsletter but they do have it in their newsletter.

Pre-order complete. Looks like it will be a great production.

Love the cutout on the slipcase and like the artwork.

Agreed!!! It sounds like a great read!

Great choice! Would love to see more from O'Nan. Songs for the Missing or The Speed Queen would fit right in with what Lividian is putting out!

Thank you for the replies. It's appreciated!

I started this comment and then got pulled away... but I'll still be copying my answer from the DT board even though it's already been done!

I wish I could say it means something awesome in Latin or ancient Greek, but Lividian was just one of the names for a bad guy in a book I wrote in high school.

I always liked the name, and when I needed something for the press that started with "L" (to keep the logo the same), it popped into my head again. I still liked the "ring" of the name, and the domain name Lividian.com was available (I've always wanted a shorter domain name), so I decided it was a sign to make the change.

As to how I pronounce it, here's a little audio example:

Okay. Hopefully this can be put over here. I don't visit that site and will not click on it.

I appreciate the link though.
