EMERGENCE moves into print

A small but rather wonderful milestone for Murmuration Press: EMERGENCE, Book One of the PRIME Trilogy, has now moved beyond the digital edition and into print.

The paperback edition has been submitted for review, and a hardcover proof has also been requested. The hardcover is very much the premium artefact version: a case-laminate edition intended less as the everyday reading copy and more as the beautiful object on the shelf.

It feels fitting. EMERGENCE is a novel about systems becoming visible, hidden patterns breaking the surface, and the strange moment when something abstract becomes undeniably real. Seeing the book take physical form carries a little of that same charge.

The eBook is already live, the paperback is on its way, and the hardcover proof is now somewhere in the machinery.

More soon, once the proofs arrive.
