Yes, right now this post is at the top, because the Nuala books are out as e-books. We are post-dated to try and keep this up at the top of the blog.

This is the place to discuss all things about Nuala -- pull up a chair. I'll check in from time to time.

Yes! We can talk about Alfreda, too. But there currently is no e-book for Alfreda scheduled. I'm trying to sell the back list with a new book. So, no Alfreda icon.

I'm sorry the convenience of the ToC isn't there, but at least the other stuff made it. And an ad for BVC, how amusing.

But now you can blow up the text to whatever size you want! Sweet!

On close examination(Maps on the Kindle do not enlarge drat it) the maps in 'Fires' are the two from Fire Sanctuary and each one is duplicated! Amazon fails yet again!
I will be buying the BVC editions. Is it permissible to put them on disc and get a personal copy printed up with an expresso machine? I do really prefer physical copies and my old paperbacks are now in the handful of pages stage!

Good luck with the Allie project - looking forward to seeing it!

Look closely at the maps -- remember that Fires of Nuala did not have maps, when it was printed. I did a new map of the lands to the east, and modified the map from Fire Sanctuary for the western side of the continent. (Hand-drawn -- now you know what I worked from! And with my eyes in flux, it's a funny story how I re-drew that eastern map. Wish I had a picture of the set-up.) Are they really identical? Because that's a big mistake!

My Calibre format-er is trying to get the ToC hassle fixed, and also fixing errors that were missed in the translating from many formats into the new one. If the maps did not go through correctly, she'll have to look at that. If there are four maps, that's wrong, too! (In Hidden Fires there will be an elevation map of the mine, too.)

Here's the FAQ from Book View Cafe -- http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/FAQs. When you buy a subscription, you can have it in all formats, if you want, and you may also print for your own use. The BVC versions are not DRM. No one has asked about the Espresso machines specifically, but I would say that you can make a copy for yourself to read. But you can't sell it, or print multiple copies of it. Does that make sense?

Thank you for telling me about the Kindle burps! I will upload a new Kindle version as soon as we can get the problems hammered out. I still haven't found out how to download a copy to review -- they give you a glance at it, real useful -- so I need to ask a friend if he's found that feature yet.
