Uncle Sam wanted every man he could get, but never expected a half-demon witch girl to show up for the Vietnam War...

I've got awesome news! As you may recall, I recently talked about my books being added to a new Ebook store: fable.co.

Books2read.com seems to have started supporting adding book from this store to my sales links, beside the rest!

I just made a couple of posts on my blog, though neither should be too surprising to those that have been paying attention to my posts on Mastodon.

@chiraag @bookstodon Mostly a matter of fewer middlemen. Draft2Digital is the parent company of Smashwords, so I get to keep more of the profits when my books sell there.

That's mostly why its my favorite for Ebooks, but they also support open standards and don't use DRM, so you can read my books on any device you like.

@OwenTyme @bookstodon Yeah, I like Smashwords for the DRM-free reason (it was one of the first places I started buying ebooks once I got a Kobo Libra).

Also includes the novella She Goes to Summer Camp, in which she goes undercover as a teenager to root out the demons hiding at a summer camp, in 1986.

I've found another online store that respects the price I've set on print copies of my books.

Has anyone ever heard of bookshop.org? Anything good or bad to say about them?

I found my books on it recently and the site has good reviews online, so I've added bookshop.org links to the list that shows up when you click on one of my books2read links.

My books on their site: https://bookshop.org/contributors/owen-tyme

@OwenTyme @bookstodon I use the uk.bookshop.org quite a bit. Sometimes because I'm ordering a book I don't want a major retailer involved, but mostly because it's keeping brick and mortar bookshops alive.

So far (10 or so), the delivery has been a few working days, and occasionally I'll get a handwritten "thanks" note included.

It's better than saving a few quid to maybe get a battered (if at all) book delivered from the smiling behemoth who'll do their worst if there's a problem.

@OwenTyme @bookstodon I've used bookshop.org from the beginning and give it all-my-thumbs up. I love how they support brick-and-mortar independent booksellers.

She Goes to Summer Camp is now available as both a free Ebook and an inexpensive print edition ($9.99 from Barnes and Noble).

This is the novella included at the end of She Goes to War, all by itself. So, if you want to get a taste for my Ashen Blades series without paying for it, this little Novella might be just the ticket.

Draft2Digital added a new online store for distribution and I must say, I like the look of it.

Fable isn't just about selling books. It's actually a site for book clubs, which happens to include an Ebook store.

Its been a few weeks since my little debacle of ordering 35 copies, only to realize I'd need a business license to sell them at a profit.

To get my money back, I decided to sell them at cost, in exchange for passing out my business cards.

The local fans have surprised me by tipped me super-generously. On top of that, they've taken the business cards, too.

What can I say, other thanks for the love, Liberal, Kansas!
