Homeland Defender (PrC) by night

That's one broken PrC!
I understand that Expedite Transit is a needed class ability which helps define the class, but don't tell me Channeling Tax and Tariffs, Search and Seizure as a swift action and bonding with Sea Containers of Vast Holding are not all broken! Come on Paizo! Come on !

Understood. "Thicker and meatier" just made me think of a soup commercial from the 80s...
Looking forward to it, in any case.

The funny thing about this blog post is that we print our novels in the old US of A, so Sutter longingly looking at the port for Winter Witch is futile. Which makes me smile. Hey, James, watch for an Old Dominion truck instead. :)
It appears that the warehouse staff have led me on a classic snipe hunt...

Surely it more romantic to leave him so? Not to mention, a HELL of a lot funnier.

To comment on the actual blog post, I LIKED that Prince of Wolves had small print. It made it feel like a "real" novel instead of like a fluff book. I pick up a "novel" and the print size is so big, I decide it's a Young Adult book and go on. I do understand that larger print can just mean a larger page count, but it seems more like artificial page count once the print surpasses a certain size.
I hope the print size in Winter Witch will still be relatively small. The print size in the Planet Stories books is usually larger (in my limited experience), but then they're larger format books.

Comparing the PDFs side by side, I find the type for Winter Witch noticeably but only slightly larger. I prefer it. It makes the page look less crowded, but it doesn't feel anything like a "large type" book.
The map is gorgeous.

It's definitely not large print--we just compared Prince of Wolves to a wide swath of other mass-market paperbacks and decided we were a touch on the small side.
(Fortunately, right about then we all got unsolicited emails offering to increase our font size a full point in just three weeks, with a complete money-back guarantee. It suggested that our current readers might be secretly unsatisfied with the size of our font... what else could we do?)

Ah! So you got my email then...
Just kidding. ;-)

Well, knowing the author, I know that he left for Europe this past Monday to check in on the production. More of a case of "Winter is Filming."
