Myke's second book of his Sacred Throne trilogy comes out tomorrow. If you haven't read the first, which you should, buy them both.
THE QUEEN OF CROWS, book 2 in THE SACRED THRONE trilogy, releases *tomorrow*.
It’s my 8th book, from my second Big-5 publisher.
Nobody is more surprised by this than I.

If you submit something for publication to a press and they ask you to pay for production costs, it is called a vanity press. The business model for small and medium presses is to publish and pay the author and determine how to pay for covering costs while maximizing profits.
