I have some announcements regarding my
stories. Everyone stop being logs and listen, because if you read my
stories, this applies to you. I'm going to phasing out of free posts
online and into paid downloads, then eventually print copies as well.
The plan is as follows:
The Last Bus Home is tentatively still
on, and will be the final story posted free online, after Midnight at
the Bowling Alley. This will occur around the end of November 2013.
This list is no chronological in any way, because this places this
near the end. Plans may change completely for this one.
Around November 15th, I will
begin phase one of the actual transition, which consists of releasing
a new short story, called Drive, as a free download on Smashwords.
It's free, so download it to get an idea of my new style. If you like
it, then you'll want to look into the next installment:
On or around November 20th,
I will release another new short story, Ghosts, in paid format. All
of my paid short stories will likely range from $0.99 to $1.25
depending on a variety of things I determine in my head and refuse to
tell anyone else. I am a crazy hermit. Don't question me. It will
likely be based on page length and whatnot. Will there be discounts?
Heck yes there will. Smashwords lets me do discounts out the ass!
This one will be $0.99.
Around November whateverish (we'll say
the 27th just to be difficult), I will release another new
short story, Michael, as a paid download for about... $1.15. Don't
question me.
These downloads will all contain
special features, including a small bit of commentary from me on the
writing process for each piece.
Following this at some vague but near
future date, I hope to have Anthology Volume One ready, containing
revised versions of all of my free online stories (which will cease
to be online once this goes up) for a bit more than a single story,
obviously. This will also have print versions available, because it
is a whole book. Perhaps a poetry collection as well, though which
one has yet to be deterimined.
I am really hoping my readership
follows me to the land of sellout. They have awesome cookies there.
