Blackwell's is carrying Corners of the Deep Dark but the cover art hasn't made it into their system yet. I am very okay with that. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Screenshot of a product page on Blackwells.co.uk, but instead of the book cover there's a placeholder image: a woodcut-style picture of a beaver sitting next to a book with big illumination/drop-cap style letters "B" on the pages. It's unclear if the beaver's planning to read the book or eat it, but either way he's quite charming.

Behold! Pages 136-137 of Corners of the Deep Dark. The first printed proof arrived today.

A paperback book held open to pages 136 and 137. I'm not going to transcribe the text because a) spoilers and b) the point of the picture is the existence of the book as an object. (Photo courtesy of my husband, also the owner of the pictured hand.)

Raised in central New York, so not terribly surprised (though different maps have shown a stronger Midwest influence, I guess because Rural.) Though I've lived in the Delaware Valley since college, and do like water ice, I'm just as glad I haven't picked up a Philly accent.

I would have a much easier time believing the "we're fighting AI slop" rationale if not for the fact that their doors are basically wide open to AI slop.

Screenshot of the Draft2Digital FAQ, which reads in part: "Does Draft2Digital have a content policy about using AI or AI assistance in a manuscript?" The answer begins "While we support AI-assisted content, we do not accept content that has been generated entirely by AI/LLMs that has not gone through extensive editing from a human. Draft2Digital does not accept noncredentialled nonfiction content produced by AI and may require further documentation of subject matter expertise."
