I’m thrilled to announce that ‘In Rare Earths’, my sixth novel in the XaviVerso series, is now in the printing process with my friends at Printcolor in Barcelona. In the coming days, they’ll be printing all the copies of the first print run of the Collector’s Edition of ‘In Rare Earths’, along with the new copies of the Second Edition of ‘Yes, They Shall Pass’, and the Third Edition of ‘The Stone Lotus’. Just yesterday, I unveiled the final design of the book cover, including the front and back covers, which you can see below.
We’re taking this step after completing the final review process, thanks to the incredible work of my review team, as well as the layout and cover design. Initially, the illustrations were going to be done by my dear friend Manu Nieto. Ultimately, due to circumstances beyond our control, this wasn’t possible, so I had to take a different approach. I believe the final result faithfully captures the essence of this gripping thriller, with Carla Romero’s character having a strong presence, alongside various elements that are highly symbolic, representing the novel’s story.
The printing and shipping process may take at least two weeks. During this time, I hope to work on developing the website for ‘In Rare Earths’, as well as preparing the print edition for Amazon and the ebook and audiobook editions, which will be available both in the XaviVerso store (and for those who purchase the Collector’s Edition in print), and on Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books, Apple Books, and Kobo.
I’m so happy to have reached this milestone and can’t wait to see my readers with their copies in hand. After shipping all the books from the pre-order campaign, we’ll make the book available again at all retailers.
