On Saturday morning, a large box arrived at the post office for me. This heavy, brown beast turned out to be the
first shipment of "Quests, Curses, & Vengeance," hot off the
presses. This gargantuan collection of
32 short stories, totaling nearly 150,000 words, is an impressive sight to see
in-print. They're real beauties.
With the arrival of this first lot of books, I'll be able to
fulfill the pre-orders, so those of you who decided to place an early order can
rest easy in knowing that your books will be in the mail on Monday. This is also the case for our contest winners
(assuming they get back to me, eh, Mr. Sims?).
Anyone who is expecting a book from me will be getting it as quickly as
the post office wants to deliver it, which really isn't that long these days.
For those who aren't keen on spending money on old-fashioned
paperbacks, the Kindle version has all the great stories that are in the print edition,
and it's only $3.95. If you have a
Kindle e-reader, get a copy of this collection.
You will not regret it.
I make no exaggeration when I say that these stories are on
par with the stuff being released by the major markets like Asimov's Science
Fiction. Hell, I'll even say some of
these stories are better than mass-market stuff that's being released these
days. Why some of the writers in this collection aren't rich and famous yet is
beyond me. I'm just glad to publish
their works now, while I can still afford them.
Really, pick up this collection in whatever format pleases
you most, and remember, every writer in this collection gets a royalty on each
copy sold. Support these talented
people, and assure that we get more of their entertaining stories!
To order a copy from Martinus Publishing, go to the QCV listing
and click the button. A book purchased
directly from the publisher earns each writer a larger cut of the profits. The links to Amazon are there also, so get the Kindle version that way!
