Dear friends, we have a publication date!! You will probably get your signed copy earlier, but the official release date is November 8th, 2016.

Part of me would have loved to pull a Beyonce and just "drop" the book without announcement surprising the whole world. But until I get to Queen Bey status I will be promoting this glorious date non-stop!!

And don’t forget, if you haven’t ordered your copy you are missing out!

Have a fantastic week!

Hello readers!

Hello Friends

I was waiting for the book’s release date to be set before sending my next update, but that seems to be taking a little longer than expect it. So, in the meantime, I’ll share the latest regarding the production of The Catcher’s Trap.

Last week I had my kickoff meeting with my Production Editor at Girl Friday, Bethany Davis, and Marketing gurus Avalon Radys and Matt Kaye from Inkshares. I’m not going to bore you with the details of the meeting. The following GIF represents my feelings afterwards.

If everything goes according to schedule, the book will be fully edited by mid-June. After that, there are many other pieces to the process, including the whole marketing side, which will be another four months, at least. My hope is releasing the book in November, but, at the end of the day, is not up to me.

What I can tell you is that there is a dedicated group of people working hard to make sure  The Catcher’s Trap is a great book that you will enjoy.

I also met my developmental editor, Ryan Boudino. Ryan is an author and has a lot of experience with the fantasy genre. So I think we are going to make a good team.

This is all incredibly exciting and still hard to believe. There are so many people to thank, including all of you, but especially those who went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my book funded. You know who you are and, trust me, your names will be printed in the book’s acknowledgment page.

If you want to read some of my writing while you wait for The Catcher, follow my project Ysolda and The Coven of Fire. I will be adding chapters regularly to gather plenty of feedback before I go into funding mode (it will be a long time before that)

Lastly, there are over 100 people following this project who have not pre-order the book. I encourage you to do it. If you are hesitant, and you want to learn more, or if you are an author and you want to make a swap, reach me at ricardophenriquez@yahoo.com.

Have a fantastic rest of your week.�
