Life, Interrupted

My UK readers now have another option for my e-books -- Wizard's Tower Bookstore. The owner has gone on vacation, but more books will be forthcoming once she gets back. Thanks to Chris Dolley at Book View Cafe for making this possible for BVC members!

So I am doing a last minute copy-editing on the formatting of an e-book. I fear I'm nailed to the wall -- the structure of the novels is not fond of e-book. I think Vonda and I have it figured out, and Vonda is not only a great writer and fine person, but she's possibly a saint. It's been that big a pain in the butt to deal with this book. Without her, next year, maybe, this book would have hit the Internet. And not looked as good. Copies are needed soon for Library Thing reviewers, so I hope all goes smoothly from the short list I sent her.

I've discovered in the flurry of the past month that I do not have the energy to work a normal shift on anything. Discouraging. I am healing...not healed. So, doubt the Facebook gets started tonight because my eyes have looked at a computer screen too long.

So...for now, pass along that the FIRES OF NUALA sampler is located here. If we get a Facebook group page by Thursday, you'll be the first to know!

And...anyone who read the Nuala books and remembers that they liked them? Now is a good time to post a review at Amazon saying "Good stuff. Recommended." Or whatever your version thereof.

If you hated it, I appreciate your continuing silence!

So -- Nuala readers. Looks like I'm going to have 100 ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) available at Library Things next month. (Not really ARCs, since the book comes out September 30, but that's all right -- this is a rolling launch, for the series.) But I need to provide a few things, like a 200-600 word description of the book, and also the ISBNs of five books that if the reader liked them, they might like Fires of Nuala.

So -- when you have tried to get others to try the books, what have you used as a teaser? What books would you use in that line up in the subject header?

The way I look at it, Warner didn't do something right, since I constantly get email from people saying "Why didn't I know about these when they came out?" Let's see if we can do better!
