13 Days Away

We're now a mere 13 days away from the launch of THE FALL. The book is rolling through the presses as we speak. The cover, added here, was created by Susan Archie, the Grammy Award winning artist whose World of anArchie Studios are here in Atlanta.

And on the subject of self-publishing...

Let's put this to rest.
Is The Fall self-published?
It is not.
Self-publishing requires that the author pay for publication. I have not done so. I haven't spent a dime of my own money toward the cost of publication. In fact, I spent a lot of the invested funds on new clothes and cool gadgets.
I'm kidding, okay?
The publication of The Fall is being paid for in its entirety by the investors in The First Book Project under the auspices of Five Stones Press.
So there.

Five Stones Press Gets Press

Good Monday morning.
Please note two great blogs on Five Stones Press. Mick Rooney's blogspot at http://mickrooney.blogspot.com/2010/02/five-stones-press-overview.html and the Physical Book Project at http://physicalbookobject.blogspot.com/2010/02/lightcamerapublish.html. It's fascinating to see the reaction to Friday's Publishers Weekly posting.

The Fall is Out the Door

The Fall went off to the printer yesterday afternoon, after Sansanee Sermprungsuk and Susan Archie did their magic. So we've taken another huge step in this uncharted journey. Thanks to all who have lent their encouragement. Next up is the release. www.davidfulmer.com/TheFallPage.html.
