Official announcement coming today -- thanks, everyone, for your early support!!

I already purchased all I could of Brian's though, have only read one story from the Seven Stories, so still have the other six for that as well as The Silent Attic, but will probably read most or all of them soon since I will be off on a week-long vacation starting next weekend.

Thank you! Hope you like them!

When it is officially announced I will definitely share the link on my Facebook. Trying to decide whether to purchase Bone Worms or not. I am not a fan of e-reading, but now I am interested in this one and not sure I want to wait until a HC version comes out before checking it out, lol.

Didn't do much reading last year when I went, but also wasn't doing much reading period then, so definitely plan to read more this time around.

Okay, the eBook section of the store is now posted for beta testing but we're not "officially" announcing it just yet so please don't share the link on your websites and blogs JUST yet:

We thought you guys (and gals!) might like to help us kick the tires. We'll be officially announcing the line this week.

Please send website problems (like if the wrong cover is on a product page OR if you purchase an eBook from us and have trouble with the download link) to me: [email protected]

Send any trouble with the actual eBooks (formatting glitches or the file won't open) to Dan. [email protected]

It's a technical publishing term you don't want to know ANYTHING about!

Brian

I thought maybe you guys were changing genres to some kind of "adult" fiction!!!

[Dan Hocker]

Hey, what's an "as well"?

I don't know what you're talking about.... all I see is "as well".....

"Placeholders" is included in "Little Things" collection. As to if they are the same version or not I can't really attest to as I have not read either. I believe they are probably the same though, as they are approximately the same length.

RE: JOHN R. LITTLE
He is an author, and a darn good one at that. He has your emotions by the throat, and he isn't afraid to squeeze out some of your tears.

John R. Little's "Miranda" was a Bram Stoker Award winning book in their "Superior Acheivement in Long Fiction" catagory... HIGHLY Recommended! It also won the "Best Small Press Chill" from the Black Quill awards.

"little things" is a great short story collection. The physical book is about 350 pages long. ATTENTION: "Placeholders" is in the physical book of "little things" and it might be in this version... Dan, can you tell us if it is? I wish the amazon page would list all the titles in the ebook.

[Brian James Freeman]

Yeah, that's a good point -- just because we publish something as an eBook does not mean we'll ever be publishing a print edition. In fact, a lot of the 50 or so titles we've bought already for eBooks will not have a print edition from Cemetery Dance. Either someone else already did one or they are new works that will be published (right now) as an eBook exclusive from us, although there could always be a print edition down the road, of course!

[Dan Hocker]

So who is John R. Little? Are these unannounced book that CD is publishing?

No, these books have been published by a different press, but the ebook rights where sold to us. I believe 2 of them where published by Bad Moon Books and the other one was Necessary Evil Press. I don't remember which where published by whom though.
