Patreon Microfiction: Death Is Cheap.

…Look, it’s not like he’s sacrificing people, right? Death is a part of life, so it’s a part of magic, and there’s gonna be market forces at play encouraging the cost of resurrections to go down. You don’t make your pile raising one person for a thousand gold: you make it by raising fifty people for a hundred each. There’s simply more of them who can afford that fee, as long as you make sure that Death is Cheap…

Reminder: REVIEW INDY BOOKS!

If you liked a book, review it on Amazon or Goodreads. Ratings are good, especially if they’re fives. But reviews are money. Not literally money, alas — but the algorithm pays more attention to books with verified purchasers who then left actual reviews. So knock yourself out!

Again, not literally.

I will have GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 at the MD Renn Festival.

Honestly, I wasn’t even going to bring either book up to the folks at Page After Page (the store hosting me on October 12). TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 is an anthology of short stories, not a novel; and GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND is science fiction horror, not fantasy. But they got in touch with me, asked me about the new stuff, and we figure we’ll give it all a whirl. Worst case scenario, they don’t sell and I have a few extra copies around for a while.

Buy my books at the pre-inflationary price!

At some point, my books are going to go up in price. I don’t really want them to, but… editors cost money, cover layout people cost money, and artists cost money. I pay for new books by selling the old ones, and when the professional market rate for services start going up (and they will go up), it gets more expensive for me to fund new projects.

I’ve already had to adjust the paperback price of Tales From The Fermi Resolution, to bring it in line with other books in the series. I will probably be adjusting paperback and Kindle prices further in 2025. So now is a great time to buy my books! It’ll save you a buck or two.

Book of the Week: My novels on 99 cent Kindle Sale!

Gimme a break: I came home, walked upstairs, and promptly fell asleep. I only woke up because I desperately needed to eat something. Anyway: FROZEN DREAMS, TINSEL RAIN, MORGAN BAROD, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL 1, and GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND are all on 99 cent sale this week. That makes them books of the week, surely.
