Life-Debt’s audiobook edition has been submitted to all retail vendors, hooray! Kobo / Kobo Plus are already live, and you can expect the other vendors to release the hostage in 2-6 weeks.
Experimental Voyage has also been submitted, but it isn’t live anywhere yet. (You can start stalking Kobo later today for the audiobook edition.)
With that juicy bit of news out of the way, both Life-Debt and Experimental Voyage are part of the Space Opera Sisterhood StoryBundle! If you found my first forays into space opera to be fascinating, here’s an excellent chance to sample books by other ladies in the field!
Life-Debt is in the first tier, and Experimental Voyage is in the $25+ spending tier.
This StoryBundle is only available for the next 20 or so days, so get it while it’s hot!
StoryBundle is an excellent way to explore new genres and authors, get books you love into the hands of your friends and family, and so on. It’s one of the primary ways I explore new-to-me genres; I just wait for a bundle, buy it at the price I set, and go to town adding the books to my collection!
So, yeah. Please scoot on over to StoryBundle if you’re interested in Space Opera. The bonus tier is a good deal.
Here’s a quick blitz through general news stuff so we can all get back to our day:
I am leaving on my trip soon. Patreon subscribers (Pixie+) will be receiving trip updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Cindercorns and Spicy Ponies with Bite will be receiving even more trip updates, also on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Posts will happen at the same general frequency, but on days I’m doing active research, I may post a day late. (Park days I may be out all day and too tired to post anything or go through the photographs. When this happens, I will post the following day.)
As a reminder, here is what the various tiers get you. Note: the tiers stack, so otters also get everything the pixies do, and so on.
Tip Jar: is just that, a tip jar. You just wish to throw pennies in my jar, and you get news posts every now and again.
Pixies: pixies receive read along chapters of old books. We just finished No Kitten Around yesterday, and we’ll be starting a new book on Monday. Pixies receive a copy of the ePub when the read along concludes.
Otters: otters receive a copy of all new non-anthology novels. (Anthologies are generally excluded for a variety of reasons. Users are notified, when preorders are announced, if a book is excluded from the Patreon.)
Sirens: Receive a listen along every Tuesday/Thursday of an older audiobook, which they can download (Chapter by chapter) for their listening pleasure.
Cindercorns: Cindercorns receive read along chapters of a work in progress and a copy of new audiobook releases (rerecordings are excluded.). Currently, we’re reading along as I write Grave Intentions. Generally, the read alongs end when the book goes into final production and editing, which typically works out to be 50-75% of the title. (This leaves about a one to two month gap from when the read along ends and the release of the novel.)
Spicy Ponies with Bite gain access to additional read alongs of unpublished materials.
After I return from my trip, I will cherry pick my favorite of the pictures to share on my blog.
Note: I am still waiting for the UI update from Patreon, and once this is done, Partner in Crime, Experimental Voyage, and Life-Debt will be available for purchase from the store.
Playing with Fire has been booked in for a rerecording and will be a Patreon store sale. I may do a bookfunnel sale for it as well, but we’ll see on that. (Energy allowing.)
Beyond that, I go see Weird Al tomorrow, and excitement levels are currently an 11 out of 10. I will very probably take a hard-earned nap between waves of cleaning, trip prep, and writing.
Wish me luck, because I’m still a little behind on Grave Intentions. But in good news, I tend to write a LOT in the truck, so I should get caught back up in a hurry.
Have a great day, folks!
