Double Share

After many delays and much ballyhoo, it’s finally available on Amazon Kindle. It’ll trickle out to the other vendors as the files run thru the various processes.

First of May

It’s been a while since I posted anything, mostly because I didn’t want to post more “not news.”

I still don’t have anything positive to report.

Yet.

But if you’re looking for Double Share, this would be a good time to get signed up on my mailing list. That way if there happens to be any news–like a release or something–you’ll be in a good place to find out about it.

You’ll remember that I said I wasn’t going to make any more “it’s going to be published” posts. The first notice you’ll get from me is “Here’s the link.”

I have said elsewhere that I’m working on the edits and they’re flowing smoothly.

That’s a good sign.

Just sayin’.

;)

Ravenwood

I put my fantasy book, Ravenwood, into the Kindle Select program when it first came out. It might have done better if I’d had the other books in the series, but on the whole, the downside of having the book exclusive on Amazon didn’t offset the value of the “borrows” and exposure from Select.

So at the end of the period, I’ll be coming off that experiment and resuming sales of the Ebook everywhere. To mark the occasion, I’m doing something I’ve never done — making the book free for a few days. If you ever wanted to try it but didn’t want to drop the $5, here’s your chance.

UPDATE: After 11,500 downloads, the promotion ended (a bit abruptly, I thought) around Noon mountain time today (2/27). Thanks to all the people that took Ravenwood to #8 in Free Kindle.

No News.

I keep getting email asking for an update. It’s been a month since my last post here so here it is:

I got nothing. Believe me. If I had something, there’d be a post. If the book were available, you’d get a notice from my email list. You’d hear about it on twitter and probably Facebook. This resounding silence is, itself, the message. It’s what I got. Nada.

The situation is that Ridan still has Double Share. Robin left a comment on the last thread explaining where she’s been and what she’s been doing. She emailed me a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t sent me the edits yet. No, I’m not going to kick them to the curb because they’re late. I still believe we do better together than we can do individually and, as long as I believe that, the status will remain quo.

I am still working on the Ravenwood sequel — Zypheria’s Call — and I’m also adding the final act to a short story that I’ve had percolating for about five years now. It’s called “Divine Inspiration: A Blasphemy in Three Acts.” Highly speculative and some of you have heard parts of it. I’m just getting around to adding the last piece to my triptych.

So. That’s what I got.

I’m still planning on six books this year. I’ve got some other deals working including a “guest novella” for Scott Sigler’s GFL universe. There may be other news but the lawyers need to parse it before I can share it. (Yes, there are lawyers involved.)

In the meantime, did you know Deb Geary has a new book out? Great stuff. You should check it out.
