Matt Kindt, Brian Hurtt, & Marie Enger present The HEK TREASURY: a deluxe hardcover collection of ALL NEW sci-fi/fantasy themed stories
The books showed up yesterday! And, of course, it coincided with Matt leaving for San Diego this week. We’ll update again next week after Matt has returned and we start to get our arms around fulfillment. In the meantime, I’ve just started unpacking boxes—hours and hours and hours to go!
We finally got word about when our books would ship to us! They expect them to ship out from printer next Tuesday. They’ve also supplied us with done photos they took after book came off press:
We reached out to the printer middle of last week to check on our book’s printing progress but we did not receive a response until today (our rep at the printer was on vacation and just back in office). We were told that our book printed over the weekend and should ship out to us next week (they still have to bind it). We have requested the printer take photos, if possible, and will share them with you all if we receive them.

This is really kind of a “no update, update”. As mentioned in our last update, we were informed our printer date had been bumped to the last week of May/first week of June. We are now entering that last week of May and hoping to hear from our publisher about our print day shortly—the sooner the better!!! We will update everyone as soon as we hear anything.
Hope to talk to you all soon!

Happy belated holidays! Hope everyone had a good and safe and healthy one.
A few new things to update:
The final print files are locked and to the printer - the paper has been ordered and the first half of the printing bill has been pre-paid - but a bit of disappointing news on the printer side of things. Our print date has been pushed back to May/June - so we will be shipping hopefully in late spring/early summer. The printer is citing “worker shortages and supply chain issues.” A common thing at this point - effecting the printing of Matt's other book - Cosmic Detective. We tapped every resource to find another printer - but they're all having the same issues so and switching printers at this point would just put us further down the list of jobs getting printed.
Thanks so much! Stay safe! All we can do now is wait our turn on press. Spring can't get here soon enough!
