Electric Angel is officially available now. You may purchase a print copy or a "non-Amazon" Kindle/DRM free copy, non-Barnes & Noble copy/DRM free copy or any other kind of ebook reader format known to man at Black Bed Sheet Books.
The regular price will be $12.95 but it is currently on sale at Black Bed Sheet Books for $10.00!
Shortly you will be able to purchase at all the usual locations, wherever books are sold, but they won't be able to offer you the same price. And while all brick and mortar large bookstores can carry the "physical book" they won't because a) I'm not with one of their large publishing houses (just a good one) and b) because I've made ALL my books non-returnable so I'm protected from a return policy that sinks all small houses and even the larger ones now. That's right, technically it's POD which by the way isn't a dirty (three) words but rather the ONLY way to survive in this industry and just barely at that because there's no way to get in front of customers when the big bookstores like Barnes & Noble etc . . . could care less about carrying your books because you didn't come through one of the large publishing houses.
So you won't see a huge press release. I can't afford the kind I'd need to rise above the noise the large publishers generate. Mainly because I put everything into my book so that it appeals to as many people as possible. And oh yeah, the proof is in the pudding: Bram Stoker short-listed with my debut novel, British Fantasy Society long-listed with my second. Both previous books being up for a 2009 Pluto Award with one making the finals.
Electric angel will be just as original and fresh as my other stories. Go buy it today. And don't forget, if you like to pay cash then go to Barnes & Noble or any bookstore and order it. You won't find it on the shelf. If you do then it will be because I've succeeded in getting the large bookstores attention by selling books without "their" help. Sad thing is, if that ever happens, I'd never want them to carry my books but there's nothing I can do about it.
Cutting out the middle man is the only way to survive. So let's do it!!! Go buy Electric Angel and Never Ceese and very soon, Forever Richard. YAY!!!
