2014
And now for the Good News:
As alluded to earlier, I have signed with a major publisher who plans on publishing "The Sikh War Source Book" during the First Half of 2015.

A few weeks ago I completed a two part assignment on behalf of Helion & Company in which I came up with the title and subtitle of the book, a suggested cover, the number of pages, amount of artwork to be included and a publisher's blurb detailing and describing the book. This will be turned around within the next four to six weeks into a pre-publication link at Amazon.com. As soon as I get this link, I will post it so those of you who have patiently (and impatiently) waited for this book to see print, will finally be able to order a copy…or two.
The book would not be possible without those who have contributed their time and effort to write supporting chapters including Major Agha Khan, Neil Carleton, Dennis McKinney and Chris Ferree. I must also thank Patrick Wilson and Mike Embree for their assistance and support from the very beginning.
I would personally like to thank Duncan Rogers, the Managing Publisher at Helion & Company, who has been the greatest person in my life these past nine months. At every step he has encouraged me, supported me, made my task easier and even reworked my contract in order to allow me more time to get the book to him while still planning for publication during the first half of 2015. Without his unfailing and unceasing support and encouragement, I honestly do not know where I would be today.
And finally, some "eye candy" for all of you. Patrick Wilson came up with the original, I submitted the same picture to Helion and they came up with what has to be one of the biggest blockbuster covers of all time. I hope you like it as much as I do.
I also hope that you will post links to this (and the prior announcement) online and elsewhere in order to attract as much attention and support as possible.
I want to thank all of you for your support, even when some of it involved pitchforks and firebrands! It's been a road, but at least the road has generated its own narrative and now it's finally nearing completion.
I hope to see and meet many of you sometime during the upcoming 2015 Wargaming and Book Fair Convention season.
Warmest Regards,
Andrew Preziosi
Note: I still do not know how to post pictures to TMP, if someone here would be kind enough to snag the cover of the picture posted over on CSW to this folder, I would be most grateful.
