Guys in Cars

Hooray!  Guys in Cars!

It's up on CreateSpace now and should be on Amazon in a few days.

Thanks to Diamond for the new covers for Guys in Cars, Guys in College, and Off the Record.  I'll keep working on updating images and links.

Diamond's working on the cover for Trent and Jason now.  (Yeah, we've ended up going with Trent and Jason as the title.)  You know what that means?  NEW FICTION FOR YOU!  It's taken way too long to move my existing work to Amazon, but now we're getting into the new stuff, and that means HAPPINESS FOR EVERYONE.

Thank you for your patience!  Trent and Jason will be here soon.  And then the ITL mystery, I hope.  And then A Suitor's Tale (fingers crossed).  Hooray!

Publishing update

I still need to edit my site to upload the new book covers, update links, etc.  For now, here's where stuff stands:

The first volume of The Purple Book is here.

Off the Record is here.

Guys in College is here.

Guys in Cars will be next as soon as we straighten out issues uploading the cover.

After that should be Trent and Jason, once we format it, figure out a title, and design the cover.

After that should be the ITL mystery.

Then (fingers crossed) should be A Suitor's Tale, the rest of The Purple Book, The Rainbow Book, The Gold Book, and the novel about dragons.

The cover for the ITL mystery will be tricky.  If it were a murder mystery, it would be easier, because we could just splash some blood spatter across the cover and be finished with it.  But it's not a murder mystery, because the Anorians are such cialexes that the atrocity of murder would be so upsetting it would sort of derail the whole plot.  It's an "oh no this priceless artifact is missing WHATEVER SHALL WE DO" mystery, with romance and sex scenes and random humor thrown in for fun because that's how I roll.

Gold Book and more

This week's ITL installment will be up shortly!  You've probably noticed, what with the wedding and everything, that we're honing in on the end of The Gold Book.  I'm really looking forward to the next book!  And the one after that, and the one after that!  I hope that you've had fun with Remin and Tano.  The Gold Book isn't over tonight, but it's about time for things to slow down, and I hope that you'll like where the story goes next!

Since you asked, no, there's no difference between the books on Lulu and the books on Amazon.  I do edit and update things between the version on the site and the version which goes into print, but I haven't changed the text for the Amazon versions.

The Amazon versions are there primarily to make my work available for a wider audience.  The prices are lower, also, which is nice.  Actually, I was counting on the prices being lower with Amazon, and when I saw the Amazon price for The Purple Book, I was so discouraged that I changed my cut from $5 to $4.  So you pay less, which is what I wanted, but I get less, which is not what I wanted.  Alas.

Anyway, Amazon versions of Off the Record and Guys in College should be next (with new covers) and then, I believe, Guys in Cars.  After that I hope to publish Trent and Jason's short story collection.

So!  I'm looking forward to the next plotline in ITL, and I hope that you're looking forward to Trent and Jason's book.  It'll include "Incredible" and "Stupid Question" from the site now, plus five new stories.  Hooray for new fiction!

Editing to add: Speaking of moving from Amazon to Lulu, I find Amazon's process much more pleasant than Lulu's.  If anyone out there's considering choosing one over the other, I'd recommend Amazon thus far.

Yay.

Got the first volume of The Purple Book up; it should be available on Amazon itself in a few days.  Much more to follow, including some stuff already on Lulu and some new stuff (hooray).  Diamond and I are formatting and editing and reviewing and hope to have most of it up this month.
