day 5: Jane’s still converting text, but is closing in on it…

The new book release (Alizant) is still set for the 1st. For those of you who’ve never tried e-books, remember you and your printer can turn one of our e-books into paper. Just print out the pdf. Or use the html and your own word processor to convert it into any size format you like. [...]

motion on the Gold in Arderin front…

The process of writing is, well, a process. It goes for a while, then—it either goes on, or it requires the writer go back and regularize the spellings, or in some cases the names people have, or in some cases give the story the benefit of what the writer learned on page 30….

So I’m [...]

Closed Circle is soon to break out in new books…

While I’ve been busy getting Bren into trouble, Jane and Lynn have been working hard on book conversions, and Lynn has her latest cover (her own work) up on her site. Very soon now, they will be putting up books. Jane is close. Lynn is close. Just a heads-up. Plus we have some fun new [...]

Jane has just made a major leap in e-book formatting…

TOC and all. She’s been working on this for 2 months, and is now beta-testing (see her post) a new e-pub version that will enable use of other fonts and a searchable table of contents (TOC).

Abandoned universes…the publishing scene…

I’ve gotten several queries today about more books in this and that universe, and for Foreigner, the answer is good.

One thing that has been so, so difficult is the number of times I have had to create a universe for some reason, then find that the publisher has been gobbled up by some oil [...]

Jane’s made some formatting discoveries…which will translate to…

…nicer e-books in some formats. Some of the older formats (RTF, TXT and others) have some problems (gappiness and not displaying graphics) that she believes she can resolve. We aren’t yet ready to undertake revision of all our books, since Jane deserves the time to get her own books up there, but it will happen. [...]

Dimwitted me…didn’t point the announcement correctly. JANE has a new book up!

Plus it’s got the first section of the book as a free download for any who’d like to have a look at it.

Jane just got the book up right before we left for the rink, and I hastily tried to put up the announcment, but didn’t do it right. So here’s hoping this [...]

Working—we’re managing to get holiday decorations up…

…largely thanks to Jane, who is working as hard as I am on her own Ring of Lightning. I’m doing Hellburner while waiting for the files on Heavy Time…and we had contact with OSG, who is back from NYC, having seen every show in town. I am way behind in Christmas shopping; Jane and I [...]

Here’s the quick refresher on e-files, downloads and what to do with them.

1. pick a device. Your computer will do. Download the offered file and store it. It’s about the size, as Sweetbo pointed out, of an MP3 download.

2. unzip it: just click on it. You will find 11 types of files (I think.) Now…

3. go to our left sidebar and download both Mobipocket Reader [...]

We have had about 130 people download the free file in the first 24 hours…scroll down if you’re looking for the download: it’s in the posts.

…bearing in mind that some people visit once a week….

If any of you are hesitating, go for it. It’s a little slow in this incarnation: a 4.5 meg file for the first download. In the actual site, we will have that down to 1.5 if you are after a MiniMe file (mobi, pdf, ePub [...]
