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.

  2. I was wondering how soon after the wedding Remin will run off with Tano, glad to see they didn't have to wait :D Hmm ... the next book, any hints as to who is next?

    Really looking forward to Trent and Jason's book - 5 new stories! Yay!

    Going forward, any chance you will also consider Book Depository for the paperbacks? (free shipping worldwide)
