New Deluxe Valdemar Collection

I've been very fond of the idea of deluxe books for a long time, ever since I lusted over and finally bought the Red Book of Westmarch version of Lord of the Rings. And I wanted something like that for my own books.

Grandmaster is all of the short stories from the Valdemar anthologies and the Companion, in one place, that I've written or Larry has written or Larry and I have written together.

Since people have been asking for these stories, I figured we might as well crowdfund it. It's also a test shot to see if we can do deluxe editions of some of the other books.

The book has some wonderful illustrations, some by Larry, and I'm thrilled beyond belief to get an illustration from Nene Thomas, who I absolutely love. She is going to be illustrating the novella from the Companion, about Herald Tafri.

Grandmaster is available for a limited time on BackerKit.

We're doing Arrows next, and hopefully, if all goes well, The Last Herald Mage after that.

Fingers crossed! As someone outside of the US shipping, handling, taxes are very expensive, but for a deluxe Arrows I think I'd have to do it. How can we stay informed about this potential, is there a mailing list or similar?

Elizabeth Nack This is an AMAZING project!!! I'm so excited for the book! I haven't had the funds to back past projects, but I am thrilled to have stable employment and housing so I can support y'all more now and moving forward!
I mean, I better. I'm legally changing my name to a variant of one of your characters very soon. :)

Please make sure post about that project here sooner rather than later if it goes forward. I would pay a few hundred dollars to have The Last Herald mage in leather.

Melody When I 1st heard of Grandmaster coming out, I started saving for it. Most of the time, I just borrow books from the library, but with any of Misty's Valdemar books, I save up and buy them. I read them so much, I'm on my 2nd copy of both the LHM and Arrows trilogies. I need to replace my Winds and Storm books as their pages are falling out now.

Sara F This looks beautiful! Can't wait to put it on my bookshelf. I hope things go well and you're able to do a run of the Last Herald Mage trilogy. If it's in the cards, would love to see one for Vows and Honor too eventually.

Ann Brookens I've backed this and it's been over a year, with no notifications for MONTHS. I'm very curious about its status, since the money came out of my bank account long ago!
