In case you missed our teaser (and the April Fools precursor), you know we’ve got a book coming out next month! And by we, I mean specifically me and Siri, beside Turtleduck Press as a whole.
Ah, yes, the Sekrit Project isn’t so secret anymore.
So here’s the formal announcement. City of Hope and Ruin, the first book in what will be a TDP-wide shared world project, will be out on May 11.
Now, some of you will no doubt take note that we typically put books out on the first of our release months, and might wonder why we’ve chosen the 11th instead.
It’s simple, really. And it comes completely down to logistics.
You see, for this book we decided we wanted to try out preorders. From our preliminary research, it seemed like all you needed was to set the book up with the distributors. Easy peasy!
However, when we actually got on it, we discovered that you need to have the completed book ready for actual distribution considerably before the release date. Ten days early, in fact. Funny that.
So, because this is a new thing we’re trying, and because we would have given some of our contractors different deadlines had we known certain things, we’ve slid the deadline a bit. Just to make sure we have enough time to get everything done and perfect, and to make sure you guys get the best reading experience.
So, go! Read the excerpt! And when you’re done with that, come back here and make use of our new snazzy preordering options!

Preorders are just on ebook options, but never fear, because we’ll also have a physical copy out as well, though you cannot preorder that. Sorry.
Whee! I am excited to have the book coming out! I hope you guys like it!
