Through Blood and Iron

**Christopher_Heath** · June 2, 2011 @ 10:06 PM

I haven't made it to the edit stage and I haven't heard from him in a long, long while either.

**davidtallerman** · June 14, 2011 @ 7:31 AM

It's been almost a year since I heard anything. I e-mailed Rob a few weeks ago and didn't get a reply, just as the last few months of comments here have gone ignored. Personally, while I'd still be happy for Rob to use my story should he ever want to, assuming I don't manage to sell it again in the meantime, I'm assuming the antho's dead until I hear otherwise. Heck of a shame though, I think this would have been a good'un.

I went through my edits and signed my contract back in January. At the time, Rob mentioned I was the third of twenty-two stories he'd edited. I haven't heard from him since, though I hope he pops back up soon. The cover art and TOC for this anthology are too cool to let slip away!

I see that the website has been updated. And I see that Magistria II is still in the lists. (Since my story, Crystal Quest, is in there, I always check on it, though I know the rest of you are waiting for Through Blood and Iron. Nice cover, btw.)

Hey all,

Just received an e-mail from Rob... he's still recovering from a couple computer crashes but the anthology seems to be still alive. Yay!

That's good news.

**Hearthweru** · November 1, 2011 @ 3:46 PM

Anyone heard any more on this from Rob? Anyone else had an edit?

**BrentKnowles** · November 4, 2011 @ 10:28 AM

Nope, not since I talked to him in the summer (and I haven't had an edit yet either). I haven't tried contacting Rob again though, I was going to wait until next year...

Hey everybody. It's been a few months since I looked in here (as Willie Nelson sings, "Gee ain't it funny how time slips away"). So hi.

I haven't heard anything new, but I got my edits and even had my brief author's intro to the story approved nearly a year ago, so I didn't assume I'd hear from Rob again until the antho actually came out. I'm a little bummed, though, to read here that there are still a few contributors who have not gotten edits. (Dammit, I need a good Christmas present to give to framily and fiends--er, I mean family and friends! I was hoping this would be a Christmas gift last year, then this year... Maybe the perfect Xmas gift for 2012?)

I've decided to withdraw, and self-publish my story on the Kindle. I wish Rob & Ricasso press well, but I don't think I'm being impatient, it's been well over 3 years now.

**John M. Whalen** · December 15, 2011 @ 3:18 PM

Rob, the crew is beginning to abandon ship. Got any news on this antho?

**Jaqhama** · December 15, 2011 @ 9:14 PM

You guys have way more patience than me.

**John M. Whalen** · December 16, 2011 @ 4:08 PM

Any other contributors dropping out?

**che2000** · December 16, 2011 @ 7:17 PM

Me? I'm prepared to wait as long as it takes. As long as Rob is going ahead with the anthology I'm happy enough to bide my time.

**Pagadan** · December 25, 2011 @ 9:12 AM

I got an email from Amazon this morning about an anthology, Tales of the Shadowmen 8: Agents Provocateurs, with a story by Robert J Santa. 'Course no telling how long it had been in the pipeline.

**von Darkmoor** · December 27, 2011 @ 8:46 AM

I can't find any evidence of Rob in the ToC for this book; however, evidence of his continued existence does appear in a November 30, 2011 Letter to the Editor in his local online paper

**Jaqhama** · December 27, 2011 @ 5:45 PM

It's a busy time of year for Santa.

**Pagadan** · December 27, 2011 @ 11:14 PM

Hmm. Maybe it's just one of those Amazon marketing connections:

I just heard from Rob. The book is definitely moving forward. He's in the process of formatting and will get contracts out to authors shortly. Keep the faith.

**jason** · January 26, 2012 @ 8:50 AM

Glad to hear. I'd honestly given up on this one.

**wicked** · January 31, 2012 @ 11:31 AM

Patience is a virtue.
I'm still hanging on. Just need a request for edits.

**Ropespor** · February 22, 2012 @ 2:15 AM

Hey everybody. How is everybody?

**Pagadan** · March 2, 2012 @ 12:52 AM

Oh, wow! A February update on the Ricasso Press website!

**BrentKnowles** · April 20, 2012 @ 11:57 AM

Rob emailed me back a couple weeks ago saying he was almost ready to send me my edits for my story. So its still seems to be moving along. Just slowly...
