Hilda and Richie's Wizard books are here!

 I did share this in my recent Kickstarter update now but I will repeat it here.

The Hilda & Richie's Wizard books are done!  I got them from the printer and the first copies will start going out to Kickstarter backers this weekend!

If you want a copy, you do have some options.

I will be at the FM Pop Expo at the Red River Valley Fairground in West Fargo, ND this coming April 23-24.  Copies of both Hilda & Richie titles will be for sale.

Some retailers will be carrying the book too.  There was a retailer tier in my Kickstarter which two backers took; I'll have more info on those in a bit.  Plus I will be going back to Sweets N Stories in Oakes, ND.

I'm still working on getting the book into libraries.  In addition to making the rounds at libraries and alerting Brodart Company, I plan to at least donate a few copies to a few libraries in North Dakota.  On top of that, some Little Free Libraries will get copies as well.

Stay tuned for more news.  Anyone interested in buying a copy direct from me may email me at maxwestart(at)gmail(dot)com.

Hilda and Richie's Wizard Goes to Press!

 More details on Kickstarter but I'll say it here too:

HILDA & RICHIE'S WIZARD HAS GONE TO PRESS!  The book is being printed!

The book will be available soon for sale!

Hilda and Richie's Wizard Files Sent to Printers

 I have a brief update today.  On Sunday evening, the final digital files for the book printing to Hilda & Richie's Wizard were sent to the book printer.

We are NOT finished yet.  The files have to be inspected to make sure they meet the printer specifications.  If they are, I will have to go to the printers to inspect the proofs and make sure everything is good.  

If the proofs are good, I will approve them, pay and the book will go to press.

I'll have more news later as it develops.
