Okay. It's Sept 23rd and no book. Well, business wouldn't be fun and adventure if it wasn't for setbacks. Turns out the dimensions for the book's cover were off and the printer is just getting back with word. A new cover, with the exact dimensions, has been created and sent back to the printer. Ugh! And we still have to approve the proof.

Well, it's an adventure. But don't fret. Code-47 is complete and in its final stages. This will be well worth the wait.

Thanks for holding in there. Sorry for the inconvenience, have been swamped with e-mails to answer.

Peace

The proof for Code-47 has been ordered.

Terrified.

Stay tuned.

There is a lot of news to report for Ancient-Art-Of-Facts. To begin, 12 Stories High has been nominated for the Carl Brandon Society Parallax Award. The Carl Brandon Parallax Award is given to works of speculative fiction created by a person of color. The winner will be announced in late 2008.

And heading to stores in late September is the highly anticipated CODE 47: MEMOIRS OF A HIP HOP HEIST. The book follows the exploits of Keith Joseph, a confidence man, a young 24-year old black schemer with confidence. He's always had a method to his madness, a point to his sharp intellect. Now, he's about to add rhyme to his reason. Keith Joseph plans to steal the entire genre of Hip Hop. And to do this, he's going to assemble a crew of fellow confidence men, pranksters, a retired beat maker, and a poet to break into the toughest, most well concealed, heavily guarded place on the planet ...

... The Music Industry.

From the author of 12 Stories High and The Ronin Poetz comes CODE 47: MEMOIRS OF A HIP HOP HEIST.

The cover art is by Jason Thomas of The Half Show.

Code-47 is in the final editing stages. Much is being done to meet the new deadline of September 23rd. The book has already been pushed back a week. The Ancient-Art-of-Facts Publishing staff are scrambling to have everything finished in the coming week.
