's "A Dance for the Dead". This is the limited hardcover that will be printed in an exclusive 100 book run.
It pains me to have to raise the prices on all of our books, but the cost of acquiring paper has doubled. We use a traditional print scheme, and to maintain the quality of the product, we unfortunately had to raise prices to keep up.
We made the announcement on Saturday, but most of you were probably out living your lives, so here it is again. 8/1/2022 "Mucho Mojo" by

It’s common practice to pay everyone for their role in a book’s publication. The cover artist, the formatter, editor, printer, the author, the intro/foreword, etc. Professionalism pays for services rendered unless it’s agreed to be donated.
Being asked to write a foreword/afterword should be an honour.
If you are accepting money to do it then it's being done for the wrong reasons.
Am I wrong?
Thank you to our community of industry people, authors, avid book readers, fellow publishers, reviewers, friends, and family for all your support. We are so grateful to each and every one of you.
