Signed Copies of COLD, BLACK & INFINITE
Read on for details on the pre-order and how to get a free bookplate!
By popular demand (and with the blessing of my publisher), I will be taking pre-orders for signed copies of COLD, BLACK & INFINITE on my website beginning next Friday, August 25th.
Now, the last time I did this was for the original release of DEVIL’S CREEK, and there were around 150 pre-orders. The logistics of personalizing, packaging, and mailing them all was something I hadn’t really thought through at the time, so…
Here’s how this is going to play out:
· This pre-order will be limited to the paperback edition.
· Pre-orders will be limited to 100 copies.
· Pre-orders will be accepted for one week, with a firm deadline of EOD 9/1/23.
· There will be a $5 premium tacked on to the pre-order price to cover packaging materials.
· Your books will not ship until after the release date.
The item listing is scheduled to go live in my shop at 12:00 AM Friday, August 25th. Good luck.
FAQ
What if I already pre-ordered the book? Are those copies signed?
I know several of you have already pre-ordered the book direct through Cemetery Dance, and to answer your question, no, those copies will not be signed. As a solution, I’m offering to send a signed bookplate free of charge to anyone who has pre-ordered direct through Cemetery Dance.
To qualify, all you have to do is send me your receipt/order confirmation with the subject line CBI RECEIPT to my website email todd@toddkeisling.com by the release date of 9/26/23. Limit one per customer.
Should I just cancel my pre-order and order direct from you?
No, please don’t do that. Pre-order sales make the publishing world go ‘round, and a book’s sales numbers matter greatly to both an author and a publisher. If you’ve already ordered the book elsewhere, please don’t cancel your order. Take advantage of the bookplate offer.
I live outside the US and shipping is too expensive. How do I get a signature?
I know international shipping is ridiculously expensive and cost-prohibitive for folks who live outside the continental US. I’m sorry that I can’t make it cheaper. My advice here is to order the book from your favorite retailer and send me the receipt per the instructions above. A free bookplate is the best I can do in this case. Thank you for understanding.
I missed the deadline for the bookplates. Can I still get one?
Yes, bookplates may be purchased from my shop for a flat $5 USD. Ships anywhere in the world.
If you have a question that isn’t covered here, don’t hesitate to ask via my site’s contact form.
Thanks for your continued support and patronage!
Cheers,

Best of luck with the preorders, Todd
Hope you sell a million copies. I preordered but I don’t think I saw a bookplate option. I’ll bring it to the next conference.
