I'm not sure why I didn't think of making a topic for this before, but it suddenly occurred to me that I should. So here I am!

As many of you know, my first novel Firmament: Radialloy is due to be released very soon on June 6th. I've been working very hard on self-publishing it -- getting a cover made, submitting the files to CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing, blogging about it, etc. The proof was ordered a few days ago, and should be here on Thursday. I'm excited and nervous!

You can hear any updates that I forget to post here on my blog at www.jgracepennington.com

Here are some of the posts I've done about the book so far:

I'll try to remember to post updates here! And feel free to ask any questions. :D

Probably. It'd be more reasonable to wait patiently, but some things just aren't humanly possible...
