Well, fam, I just discovered an unpleasant truth. Which is that KDP doesn’t do<\/em> preorders for paperback versions of a title. So, if I publish the Ryswyck<\/em> paperback, it goes live right then, and leaves my e-book twisting in the wind till Memorial Day. Damn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s what I’m going to do. If I can sell 100 e-books in the next two weeks, I will release the paperback early at what would have been the promotional price for preorders. If I hit 100 e-book sales before<\/em> May 11, I will release the paperback then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Amazon you can set it so that if someone buys the paperback they can get a discount on the ebook version; pity you can’t do it the other way round. But think of it this way: for a preorder price of just 3 bucks, you can get an absorbing and “impeccably written” (according to an early reader-reviewer) epic tale and<\/em> make it possible for someone to get the same enjoyable experience in paperback for less. And if you’re one of those committed souls ready to purchase both an e-book and a paperback in the next month, I will find some damn way to reward you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it. The e-book is available for preorder at the distributor of your choice<\/a>. Fly, my pretties. Spread the word! Spread the love! Someone who doesn’t own a Kindle and wants to read Ryswyck<\/em> will thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
