saxbrightwellAs you may have seen from my listings sticky, I assembled an omnibus edition of the first 3 books in my Secrets of Sleipnir series. The main reason I did this was to be able to order a print-on-demand author proof edition for myself, but I figured I might as well put the omnibus ebook up for sale at a discount as well. To my shock, there have been some orders for it! But I'm posting today because the proof has finally arrived:
In The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard, the eponymous emperor says, "... every poet should see his work in book form at least once. It is good for the soul." I would say that's true of other writers as well. I knew I wanted this. I was very pleased to have sold enough ebooks to cover the cost of both the proof and the hideous shipping fee to my country. But actually holding it in my hands has been more moving than I expected. I spent a few minutes just hugging it.
All of which is to say, there is now a print-on-demand option available for the omnibus edition! Don't @ me about how much it costs; print-on-demand is not cheap and even at that eye-popping price I'm making the exact same royalties I make off someone buying the ebook version. It's there if you want it badly enough.
Writing Update
My hiatus is going on a little longer than planned, because the fanfiction I was playing around with for a vacation challenge has turned rowdy on me and I have to wrangle it into shape. But I expect to be well into the thick of book 4 by August!
