Soulhome: The 2.0 Edition
Added 2023-07-18 20:39:05 +0000 UTC$5 supporters, time for an unusual reward! Hopefully it's interesting to somebody.
I've always offered paperbacks of my books, but this is just a courtesy to readers who prefer to read physical copies; I barely sell 2% in paperback so it's not really a good time investment. As such, the paperback versions aren't particularly flashy or impressive, just the ebook text placed in book shape.
Well, with the upcoming new covers, I decided to try to do a little better. Take a look at this PDF that will become the new paperback:

Don't go spreading this around, but feel free to download. A little reward for patrons if you want a PDF, for whatever reason. ^-^ The more practical reward is that the PDF includes all the new appendices, including those you've seen before but expanded and touched up.
Man, this was a lot of work. I don't like formatting or all the tedium that comes with tweaking the fancy details across formats. Something can look fine in the preview, then messed up in the actual book and you have to go back and convert everything again. That said, it's not final yet - if you see anything that looks like a serious problem, I'll go back and fix it up before copies are actually printed.
Right now what's holding this release back is the lack of the brand new cover, which is still being finalized. Hopefully before the big sale this month ends, I'll have that ready and then I can announce the new version to everyone. With that done, there will be some continuity between this and the shiny new cover for Wakespire. The plan is to keep updating the books in between with new covers as well as newly consistent paperbacks, one at a time.
