Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2E Printing
A ton of progress has been made on the MoaRG 2E printing. All of my rewrites are complete and we're now going through an intensive editing process. My target date for completion is February 26th with orders being placed that weekend.
We've also had a larger interest level than I anticipated which is massively appreciated! We're very close to the 60 book mark which will reduce production costs and prices for everyone. As a reminder, there is little chance there will be a second printing. If you want a MoaRG hardcover this is your shot. We're down to about $39.20 per book shipped in the USD with the expectation that the price will go lower. I'm going to do my best to get it to $35.
Answers
zyr asked:
Have you ever talked with Iridescence about what happened with Caramel Mint or at least about your worries and fears in having a more serious relationship with her? Why or why not? If you haven't, I think you should. I'm sure she'd understand. She's a good mare and you two would be good for each other.
Zyr asked:
What are the things you most like about Runic?
zyr asked:
How did you break that water main at Iridescence's place, if I recall correctly?
Zyr asked:
What is the dumbest incident you've ever dealt with as a guard?
Icefire asked:
What is the strangest vision you've ever had that's come true? What about that hasn't come to pass?
dracone asked:
Since you will not live forever, last I checked only alicorns can withstand the ravages of time, I'm sure you are looking into finding someone to fill your position once you are gone. How is it that the unicorn temples decide successors for their higher ranking members?
dracone asked:
I'm surprised this question hasn't come up, or rather I haven't seen it addressed in the Q&A yet. Where do Discord and his kind stand in the Quill and Blade universe's lore? Given the lore you have built around the alicorns I think it's fair to ask.
dracone asked:
This question is right up your alley, of all the types of rocks and gemstones you know of what are your top 10 most favorite? Please explain why.
I'm not sure whether to
at Ferrel or you and Crystal for that answer about visions...

If you have enough palms do all three.
Ah, poor Winterspear, you should know there are few secrets in the Quill and Blade-verse, especially with Silent's memoirs out there. :P
Also, can't wait for Memoirs hardcovers to come out
Edit: BTW, how many pre-orders do you have for the hardcovers so far?Derp. Pay more attention, ZyrSecond comment to get your attention. The date of the blog post is 1/29, but the title says 1/19, just so you know
