Ask Heidi Cullinan discussion

Double Blind and Tough Love also mentioned here. This is more a discussion of the whole enchilada. If you want a single book thread, go ahead and start it.

I know the answer before I ask LOL, but any news on the books being re- released sooner. :)

February, March, and April of 2014: set in stone. Paper will be a year after that. It has to do with Samhain's publishing schedule and the fact that we're treating them like new releases. Double Blind in particular is much tighter, and Special Delivery is now cleaner. No content change, not a scene cut, but everything is smarter and smoother now.

Can't wait for Tough Love, although clearly I'm gonna have to...

Thanks Heidi. Its the Kindle editions I want and Time flies so hopefully will pass quickly.

It's so close! We're still editing that one (and Double Blind). Hope is to have all three up for preorder by Thanksgiving.

You'll like the book much better after Sasha edits it. Believe me. But I will be reading from it at GRL.

I have about a zillion billion trillion behind-the-scenes things for these books. I'm so looking forward to sharing them.

Also if I had a dollar for every time someone texted me they saw a blue semi and got misty-eyed...

I can't wait to read this series. Everyone has been telling me I need to read them but I missed out on them when they were available before. I'm trying to be patient, I really am...

Preorder goes up very, very soon. And seriously, these will be the better versions. Some of it is my writing has matured and I can polish it more subtly now, and a lot of it is that Sasha Knight is editing them. I've never felt more comfortable and stabilized by someone going over my work.

The story is exactly the same: it's just that the writing around it is cleaner, sharper.

I've done that - Sam and Mitch are iconic figures by now.

I envy you reading these for the first time. :)

I'm definitely going to have to pre-order. And just in time for my birthday in February! What a great present to myself. :)

<3 I'll post in here when they're up. It'll be one at a time but one right after another. SD is in line edits, then it gets proofed, then it goes into ARCs which get sent to distributors. That takes about a week to three depending on how quickly they move and what else they have going on. We're hoping by Thanksgiving they're all in place and ready to roll.

It's funny--we did it as a family for years. Even yesterday I saw a blue semi and felt like they were waving at me. It was surreal when not just a few people but EVERYONE did it to.

My husband loves to point out I wouldn't have written it if it weren't for him. I tried many, many times to abandon that book. He nagged my ass until I got to the end.

Thank goodness for your husband!!

Kaje wrote: "Thank goodness for your husband!!"

Ditto THAT!!

So hubby's do come in handy! ;D

He calls it his book. It's not really about him, but he loves all the music references, the fact that it's usually everyone's favorite and that he "saved it."

His favorite is The Pirate's Game. That was the one where I got him between the eyes.

Just last year I drove to Durango and back. On my way back I stopped at a scenic stop to take a picture of a run away truck ramp. Coming down the road was a blue semi with a huge sleeper cab and I started snapping pictures. The driver waved to me as he went by. It was the highlight of my trip. :)

Done!

I recently finished Special Delivery and loved it. Currently reading Double Blind.

Try your luck at a few trivia questions from both books!

Special Delivery Trivia

Double Blind Trivia

I was wondering... Is there going to be anymore books to this series, I fell in love with them all even crabtree!!

Yeah, it would be fascinating to have Crabtree's story...

Crabtree an interesting duck, I would love to learn his back story.

Yes, we will have more books. Heidi hinted that Sam and Mitch might become parents at some point.
I don't know how much more we will learn about Crabtree, we did learn a few more bits about him in TL.

Hooray!!!! I just love all those boys!! Even if we get glimpses of crabtree that will be ok with me.
