For If You Are Enkindled

October 2nd, 2009 | Posted in News

Exciting: three of my books are now available for the Kindle (or your iPhone, if you have the Kindle app? I guess? I’m not really sure how these things work anymore).

Touch Anything Except Me

Fever Dream Ghost Book

The Location Scout

I need to flesh out the book descriptions at Amazon. I am terrible at this. For now Goodreads is still the best place to find information and reviews.

I’m hoping to have Twelve Times Lost available soon as well. It’s currently tied up in questions about e-book rights, since it’s also available in print. On the one hand, it’s kind of a hassle (it’s available in print from a friend of mine, and the book pre-dates e-book rights. We did not know from e-book rights in 2002). But on the other hand, I’m totally glad to see Amazon engaged in due diligence before these things go live in the Kindle store. So far it’s a good problem to have. Ask me again in a few weeks.

The process of Kindling the texts was pretty straight-forward, thanks to John August’s tutorial. It is exactly like coding a website was in 1998, which made it a delightfully relaxing endeavor, in an age when I do not understand how a Tumblr works.

I priced the books at $0.99 each. This seems reasonable to me. Is it? I spend that much on an mp3 without thinking twice. I can see cases for making them either less or more expensive. It’s mostly academic since Amazon keeps most of the money. That’s part of the deal when you control the means of conveyance. I just want people to read the stories, basically.

If you happen to download them, let me know how it goes, or if you see any problems. I’m still new at this. We all are.
