Pleased to announce that all four SYLVAN INVESTIGATIONS urban fantasy novellas are now available on Amazon, as well as B&N, Kobo, and of course our preferred vendor, Book View Cafe.

Send congratulations to me, and thanks to The Amazing April. :-)

And, of course, if you've read and enjoyed them, leaving a note to that effect on your vendor of choice is the best way to send congrats and thanks....

Book View Cafe

Amazon US

Kobo

Barnes & Noble

(if buying outside the USA, I strongly encourage you to check out Book View Cafe. Direct from the writer, supporting the writer!)

Are you a Kindle user? Have you been hesitating pulling the lever on a Kindle copy of SILVER ON THE ROAD because ow, $12.99? Or maybe know someone who is a Kindle user who'd love the book, but they didn't have $12.99 to spend on it? Or maybe you wanted to buy it as a holiday present for someone?

Amazon's made it a $1.99 deal (limited time availability).

and yes, Nook users can play, too.

I'll be honest with you - the big thing here is to ZOOM it the hell up the ranking charts. Which means we have to move a LOT of copies.....

Can we do this? I think we can. :-)

(and remember: positive reviews are love!)

If anyone here a) likes ebooks, b) likes half-price ebooks - and c) likes half-price ebooks where the authors get paid fairly on the sale....

Kobo's having a sale*. Half-price ebooks if you use the region-appropriate code:

*yes, you can read Kobo books on non-Kobo-branded readers!

and hey, look, Kobo has a bunch of my books available!

Or, at least, the storybundle ABOUT the world ending, ends.

Okay people, this is it. If you've been eyeing the storybundle and thinking "yeah, you know, I'd really like to get eleven (ELEVEN!) books for less than $2 each, especially a bundle that combines adventure and SF, damn good reads of eleven different types... Eleven epic disaster novels that cover the gamut of What Can Go Wrong (and how humanity rises to the challenge)....
You have five days left, and then this storybundle's gone forever.

(and then you'll have to pay $5-$15 EACH for these books)

Have you ever wanted to immerse yourself in a series of really EPIC disasters - from a safe reading distance? Of course you have.

And the folk at Storybundle heard you....

Every time you turn on the news, you see a different possibility for how the world might end—and imminently! Climate change, Ebola, asteroid impact, nuclear war...zombie apocalypse. How will you prepare? How will you save your family? How will you help save the world for your children and future generations? Obviously, the best preparation is to read up on every possible disaster scenario. That's where The Disasters Bundle comes in.

One of our favorite curators, Kevin J. Anderson, has put together a new bundle of 11 epic disaster novels that cover the gamut of What Can Go Wrong. Think of it as 50 Shades of Doom. But these aren't just tales of disaster...but tales of heroism, persistence, ingenuity, and survival. These are truly the best things to read while you're huddled underground in your bomb shelter (or just in your living room, in the meantime)....

Pay what you think's fair - pay $15 or more, and get bonus books! The money goes directly to the authors (with a chunk to Storybundle, so they can continue the good work). No DRM. No tricks.

And you'll be getting one of the projects I'm most proud of - the darkly SFnal DRAGON VIRUS.

But you only have 21 days to score the bundle!

A reminder for everyone in the EU - if you've been thinking about buying an ebook that's already out, you might want to do it NOW, before the new VAT regulations force the prices to go up.

Because prices WILL go up (we've already gotten emails confirming this from Amazon, et al that they're passing the increase directly along to the consumers. So thank your governments for that).

So, if you want to pick up copies of MILES TO GO and PROMISES TO KEEP, or FROM WHENCE YOU CAME, one of our anthologies, or even Practical Meerkat's 52 Bits of Useful Advice.... now would be the time to hie over to Book View Cafe and buy them....

Libraries across the United States can now access the entire catalog of ebooks published by Simon & Schuster. The announcement concludes a pilot program the publisher had conducted with twenty library systems.

Libraries can now purchase one-year licenses to lend individual ebooks to patrons. As with physical books, only one patron can borrow a title at a time, but the library can lend every ebook it acquires an unlimited number of times within that one-year period.

The program includes all of Simon & Schuster’s front-list and back-list titles, with new releases being made available to libraries upon their release.

This is very cool news. I am a HUGE supporter of libraries (my parents would have gone broke with three voraciously-reading kids, if we didn't have an excellent local library) and digital needs to be as widely available as print, IMO.

Okay, the fact that S&S publishes both my mysteries and the upcoming fantasy novels (as well as the Vineart War trilogy) makes this relevant to me as a writer, but I'm mostly squeeing as a reader.

And here's a nice in-your-eye to Amazon: "In addition, libraries participating in the program will be functioning as ebook retailers for Simon & Schuster. Patrons can now purchase titles through libraries’ Web portals, with the library receiving a cut of each sale."

Email from Nook Press this morning about their (finally!) expansion into other countries. which means that, for those of you who avoided Amazon, and didn't have access for whatever reason to Kobo, you will soon be able to lay digital hands on the Sylvan Investigation novellas MILES TO GO, PROMISES TO KEEP, and the story collection DRAGON VIRUS!

(as soon as I have confirmation that the sites are live and the titles loaded, I'll share them, promise!)

Meanwhile, those of you with Amazon or Kobo access can buy them there... or, yanno, via Book View Cafe...
