Publishing in a Pandemic

[Brian James Freeman]

This was waiting for me when I got home today:

[keithminnion]

I like the way you tell a story, as well! And thanks for the purchase!

[MikeStegs]

This story sounds very interesting and that’s a great story about how the story came to be...sold me all around. So I purchased the book...and that’s my story.

[Dan Hocker]

Thanks Brian. I did not provide a link because I didn't want to spam the board. The fact that several members went out, found, and ordered it on their own (as you did) speaks volumes about the class of folks you have in the place. If you like quiet supernatural horror with a murder mystery and a bit of good old 1970s free-love college sex, DOG STAR might be for you!

Definitely feel free to post the link in the future. That's what these area's of the message board are for.

Just chiming in to say how much I miss the White Noise chapbooks... And also, I've ordered my copy of DOG STAR!

[Martin]

It was shipped on the notorious padded envelope but arrived unscathed. I will review it when I get around to reading it. Unfortunately it has been a difficult reading year and I am a bit behind. This will be my first full length novel of yours. I have read, and enjoyed some of your shorter fiction.

[keithminnion]

Because I like the royalties? Seriously, I'm glad your copy arrived safely. Please let me know what you think of the novel. I'm all grown up; I can take it.

[Martin]

Received my copy today. I think it may be the first Print on Demand book I have purchased. The book actually has the date it was printed in it. Why do I want to wait a week and order another one just to see that same book with another date?

[keithminnion]

Oh no! It was directed to my very good friend Jeff Strand, who was the only writer I invited back to have a second chapbook in the White Noise Press chapbook series. His second appearance was for a story called "Bad Bratwurst", and it was the most different and outrageous and funny story of all of them! I haven't eaten a German sausage since! And thanks for the purchase of DOG STAR! I really appreciate it.

Bought one too! Looking forward to it. And if the call out to "Jeff" in the comment on the bad bratwurst chapbook was directed at me it went way over my head. Which isn't out of the norm. Though it tickles something Little related (?) in my memory. Or is that just a product of my sensitivity and fear of being pegged as the anti-Little guy.

[keithminnion]

Thanks Ron. I'm proud of them all, even the one about the bad bratwurst (just kidding, Jeff!). And thanks again to the folks who have placed an order for the book. It is always exciting to see the sales show up in my KDP report, rather than the usual flat-line!

[RonClinton]

I’ll add my voice to the others who’ve expressed affection and admiration for your WNP chapbooks, Keith. Totally understand the decision to cease their production, and thanks for publishing those you did.

[Martin]

My paperback copy is expected on Sunday.
