I haven't heard anything from Don in three months. Anyone else?

Mike

His last update in the News section of the website was 03/20/09

I miss Don and NEP. Need an update on future releases. I know he has manuscripts and contracts.

Hopefully Don will feel like coming on here sometime soon and letting us know what's up for NEP in the near future. I'm sure it has not been easy for him the past few months.

Don Koish runs everything there by himself, and it is a hard business to run. He has done an AWESOME job so far... but the lack of input or info on the website since March 09 is kind of scary to readers like me. Especially in these financially uncertain times.

I'll assume that he is keeping up with orders for his in stock merchandise (Master of the Moors, Deeper, A Whisper of Southern Lights, The Everlasting).

I had a long conversation with Don a couple of weeks ago and NEP exists and things are in the work with the release of some older lettered editions, and new orders.

Don did tell me he would get over here sometime soon and post some updates. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I've seen your other post. Thanks for keeping us informed, Leigh.

I believe you. Like a lot of people, I just want the reassurance. Mostly because I have heard that some of his contracts expired without a publication happening, and that can be a scary thing for a reader and fan.

hang in there folks. NEP will be back. Good things are worth waiting for.

I certainly hope so! I'm rooting for NEP, and I'm sure that they can jump back up quickly.

Anybody able to get a response from Don lately? My frequent emails and phone messages to Don have gone unanswered. What is up with NEP?

I've written their Webmaster email and their Information email notes about an omission/error on their site, and I've heard nothing back from either for over 6 months... and the omission/error is still there. I don't think anyone is holding the ball over there right now.

I emailed a bit with Don a couple weeks ago. He's still hurting but I believe we will see a return of NEP by the end of the year. Sure hope so. I do wish he could find a way to start communicating again with his followers but I am willing to wait a while longer.

A person on another board stated that Necessary Evil Press has closed its doors. As far as I know this person has no inside knowledge.... So, was this just a guess on their part? Is Necessary Evil Press going to come back?

NEP is coming back. EVERLASTING Greek editions are now shipping.

Got an email from Don on Friday saying that he is back. I really hope this is for real this time, I really do want to see NEP do a "Phoenix". If anyone can pull it off, Don would be the one.


My Greek Lettered is in Des Moines right now.

This is good news. I'm really glad things look like they're working out for Don and his lifers.

right on. And EVERLASTING lettered editions will be shipping soon.

This is very good news indeed!

Now my Greek lettered is in Memphis. WTF??? I live in Connecticut! It goes from Michigan to Iowa to Georgia to Tennesse. I reckon next it'll be on a slow boat to China.

I can't wait for that next postal rate hike.

I hope to get my lettered notification soon.

I just paid for my lettered and got a nice email from Don. Sounds like he is back and ready to have NEP be a force in the business again!

Tony

Does anyone have any news about the James Newman book NEP was supposed to put out, Animosity I think it is called?

Ignoring isn't the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.

From what I understand from the various boards: I think NEP is catching up with all the Lettereds before anything else gets announced...

Got my lettered of The Everlasting a couple of weeks back now. A fine job, too. And a damn fine day to see a new NEP release arrive.

For the Newman, I will confirm that things are moving there (ARCs are being readied). It has been edited and will need to undergo a final round of copy editing, layout, and then printing. So Mark, this is shuffling through the steps, now that some of backlog has been cleared with delivery of The Everlasting lettered.

Hopefully Don will drop by and give a more concrete answer. Official announcement of this for pre-order will come once the book is closer to being ready (Don never did like to announce or take pre-orders too far in advance).

How is Don and NEP doing? Can't wait for some New News!

I wish that they'd at least update the site with a quick, "coming soon: something" or something...

Any updates... it's been quite a while since we've heard from you Don.
