Imagine it is January 13 and the snows are deep and the sun is shrouded and the ice weasels have just dragged off one of your children…but then! What’s this in your mailbox? Why, it’s the copy of the Younger Gods that you preordered during the September 3-5 Barnes & Noble sale.

Copy edits are for discovering that your MMC somehow never took his pants off during the 20-page 💥 scene. Proud of him for what he still accomplished though.
