I don’t have many special editions but I have been fortunate. It’s always nice to bring out a special edition for collectors. Plus, it’s a nice way to celebrate a book.

I held a Kickstarter to bring these special editions to life. Crescentville Haunting was my debut into the world of indie publishing. I’ve learned a lot since that release. It wasn’t my most successful book but I will always treasure Logan’s journey. It was wonderful to celebrate that by bringing this Kickstarter to life. I was very fortunate to find interested backers.

My second edition actually comes from a book box company. That One Boy Book Box was kind enough to approach me about my book Bend Him Break Him. They wanted to bring it to life with a NSFW special edition. I got a beautiful SFW dustjacket and a NSFW hardback cover. Given the explicit nature of the hardback, I can’t show all the artwork here, but I think you’ll appreciate what you can glimpse.
