Trader’s Diary

The Kindle version of Quarter Share has been edging up the charts slowly on Amazon. We purposely did not try to do an Amazon rush on this because, well, I think they’ve been over done and I didn’t want to put that kind of pressure on the fans. In spite of not doing the rush, [...]

Here’s the first book being signed and dedicated for a fan about 7am this morning. There was quite a pile of addresses and I’ve already gone through half a case of books. We’re gonna have to order more pretty quickly I think. In addition to these domestic US, there were copies to New Zealand, Australia, [...]

No, not the book by Annie Proulx — Quarter Share. Amazon now lists it in stock and Ridan reports they have recieved their initial shipments. I’m waiting for my boxes to show up here in the next day or so and you can order a signed copy of your own right now! Pretty cool, I [...]

Robin reminded me that I haven’t keep you up to date on the editing. We’ve passed the book back and forth about three times now and I’m very pleased with the way the editing is going. We’ve had some tweaking of the cover art, mostly for color and tone, but the real time is being [...]

Email your comments about Quarter Share to thegeeks@scifisurplus.com. I think they’d take voice messages to at 801-938-5525 or skype call “scifisurplus” [...]

It’s appropriate that I send all of you a thank you on Valentine’s Day. The love fest just keeps on building. A year ago Quarter Share went up onto the Podiobooks.com servers. The first six episodes cleared review and were posted on Feb 18, 2007. Since that time, the outpouring of support has been overwhelming. [...]

I was shocked, surprized, and delighted to get this email last night: On behalf of the podcasting community, we wish to congratulate you for your recent nomination for a Parsec Award for the following podcast(s): Quarter Share – Best Speculative Fiction Story (Novel Form) On the one hand, I think every Podiobook in the Science-Fiction [...]

Everybody’s being frustrated by the wealth of new subscribers and visitors to Podiobooks. It’s a great problem to have, but many of you had feeds get disrupted and it’s been impossible to get onto the site at times. The latest word from PB is that they’re working on a new hosting arrangement that will solve [...]
