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.

Things are moving along. I even got to keep more of my colons and semicolons for this story! Truly, June is the best month of the year.
Don’t forget to pick up the first volume of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION! Some of the characters from those stories show up again in the upcoming anthology! There’s continuity! Amazing!

These are the last hours of my mega-Kindle sale! All of my novels are still only 99 cents on Kindle in the US/UK, but the sale will be over soon! Get them now!

That’s right: starting June 1st, ALL of my novels (and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL 1) will be on sale for 99 cents (99 pence in the UK) for one week! For less than five bucks you can have it all (well, except for the chapbooks). Now is the time to get your piece of my genius!
Or, you know, you can buy them all now and put more money in my pocket. Either is cool.
Continue reading Announcing the June Moe Lane’s Novels BLOWOUT SALE!‘25%’ because my editor has some thoughts on Thus Do I Refute Omelas (not the actual title). There’s some pacing issues, I need to distinguish more between two characters, and this one guy needs to be presented slightly differently. …Huh. When I actually write it out, that list looks a lot easier to accomplish. Go figure.
In other words, we are ticking along on the next volume of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION. Huzzah! Read the first one now!

…and it turns out that my editor did something absolutely infuriating. To wit, she somehow viciously managed to identify precisely the bits that I had hurriedly papered over because they were weak spots in the narrative that I didn’t want to actually fix. The absolute nerve of her!
(pause)
Yeah, I’ll be fixing it this weekend. Just goes to show, hey? Do it right the first time, and all that.
And they have been completed. I imagine anthologies like TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 2 are different to edit than novels, since the stories are self-contained. There’s less of a meta-narrative to keep track of, or something like that.
Anyway, the book is roughly ten percent through its first editorial pass-through. That’s cool. Once I have the book edited, I’ll have a much better idea of when it’s going out…

PS: Go ahead and check out TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 1. And check out the pre-order store!
At last, right? I got logjammed on that, honestly. I had to force myself today to go through the beta reader notes and clean up what was a fairly nasty ordering error on it that was confusing the heck out of people. But, still; now it’s the editor’s problem. Huzzah!
In the meantime… the preorder store is here, if you missed the Kickstarter. My books are here. And now I do believe that I may go have a beer.
#commissionearned
At least for right now: FROZEN DREAMS is on sale for $8.51, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL 1 for $5.29, and MORGAN BAROD for $7.28. I’m not sure why those specific prices. Amazon sets them, not me. I still get paid the full amount I’m owed, so that’s cool, however they want to move books, they’re the subject matter expert and I am not.

Be sure to check your inboxes. Also: the preorder store is open! It also features some deals on getting signed copies of my books, so keep that in mind. Just bear in mind that TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL 2 is currently being checked by the beta readers, and won’t be going to the editor until the end of the month. That will affect shipping dates.
But we are on our way!
