Giotto's Circle

EbookEdition_TemplateMy latest ebook has just been released. It's called Giotto's Circle. It's a short story, about 6,000 words long, and it's quite good if I may say so myself.

Anyway, here are the buy links, including Ganxy, which is basically as direct as I can get to selling you my ebooks besides knocking on your front door and pulling some electrons out of my pocket. iTunes should be available in the next day or so. Add it to your Goodreads shelf here.

Kindle | Nook | Kobo | Google Play | Ganxy

Included in the ebook is an excerpt from my forthcoming novel New Avalon, which is up for pre-order on Kindle, Kobo, iTunes, and Google Play. It's coming out November 15th. Soon!

Another Kobo Sale

The people at Kobo are the best. They've included me in the past several promotions and I'm eternally grateful. This month my novels Legion and Bullet Rain are eligible for a 30% off promo code. It's an unlimited code, so use it as many times as you please on select books. Check out other books by Douglas Clegg, Nick Stephenson, Hugh Howey, and many, many more. Offer ends Monday, so check it out!

Kobo Weekend Sale

The good folks over at Kobo are having what they're calling a TGIF Summer Sale this weekend, where you can get 30% off select titles using coupon code TGIFSAVE30. You can use the code as many times as you want, but only for those select titles. Two of my titles are included in the sale -- The Serial Killer's Wife and The Calling -- so if you have a Kobo and don't have either of those books, now would be a good time to grab them. And check out the other books on sale too!

Pillar of Salt

I just released a new ebook called Pillar of Salt. It's a short story that originally appeared in Postscripts a couple of years ago. As I mentioned before, I plan to make more of my short stories available as single ebooks because ... well, why not. Plus, with the recent announcement of Kindle Unlimited, I figured it would be a good chance to test the system.

What's Pillar of Salt about? Here's a short blurb:

In a small Pennsylvania town, the dead still get their mail.

The rule is simple: do not open the mail.

Somebody is about to break that rule.

I priced this ebook at $2.99, much higher than I normally price short stories, mostly because I don't expect anyone to actually buy this. Instead, I want people to download it via Kindle Unlimited, seeing as how everyone has a free 30-day trial. You download it for free, read it (or at least get past the 10% mark), and I still get paid. Win-win.

Obviously, because this ebook is exclusive to Amazon right now, it won't be on Nook, Kobo, iTunes, or Google Play for another three months. Also, from what I understand, Kindle Unlimited is only available to U.S. residents right now. Sorry.

In the meantime, download Pillar of Salt on Amazon, and add it to your Goodreads bookshelf.
