Mourning Cloak’s here!

Mourning Cloak’s here!

Mourning Cloak

Kato Vorsok is a man deserted by his god. A failed hero living in exile, he wants nothing to do with his old life.

Until the night he encounters a wounded mourning cloakβ€”a demon that can walk through walls, dissolve into mist, and spear a man’s heart with a fingernail.

She calls him by name. She knows his past. She needs his help.

And she is his key to redemption.

Mourning Cloak is a science fantasy novella of about 22,000 words.

    A question about the buy links: Is it more advantageous for you, as the author, for buyers to buy from a particular sell-point above, ie do you get greater royalties from one, or are they equal across the board.

    And, I’ve already told you that I am not a fan of ebooks, which means I don’t buy them. πŸ˜› So I know pretty much next to nothing about them. Can I read an ebook without a dedicated reader, using, instead, a program like Adobe Digital Editions?

      Hi, Miquela,

      In terms of royalties, all of the e-tailers are pretty equal across the board. I’d suggest Smashwords for you, since you pick which format you get–including PDF. If you get the EPUB version, you can read it on Adobe Digital Editions. I have a 50%-off coupon code for Smashwords which I can email you, if you want. πŸ™‚

      Thanks!

          Actually, D’s taking a print layout class right now. So he’ll work on the print versions for me, but they won’t be available soon. Maybe in a few more months??

            A few months? Really!? Then I think I’ll hold out for that. To actually HOLD one of your books: Ultimate cool!
