Mass Market News

I got a surprise in the mail yesterday – a very pleasant surprise! I got a package of cover flats that were not in the trade paperback size I am used to, but rather, they were in mass market size. It was a new edition of the Halloween anthology that came out last year in trade paperback size that featured three stories: one by Erin McCarthy, one of mine and one by Jennifer Lyons. The title – THE BEAST WITHIN – is the same, as is the artwork. Everything’s the same except for the size and, of course, the price. ;)

The original trade paperback sold for around $15, I think. This one has a cover price of $6.99. Yippee! :) I suppose the distribution of this book will be greater than that of it’s previous incarnation, which is something I eagerly anticipate. It’s all part of my ingenious plan for world domination! Mwahahaha!

Sorry. I got carried away for a minute there. I know this probably isn’t a big deal to most other authors, but to me, it’s a huge, big, awesome deal. I’ve never had a book in mass market size before. And I had no idea they were planning to put this one out in mass market. Nobody told me! LOL. So it was a huge surprise to see that stack of cover flats. I felt like breaking out in a happy dance, right there in my kitchen. :D

The book will be out in September of this year. Yay!

  2. Congratulations!

    Also have to give a big ol’ “thank you” for occasionally updating your blog. I know you’ve been going through a “rough patch” so to speak, and naturally the writing time is probably either not as productive or a teensy bit on the back burner. Too man times I’ve come across authors that haven’t updated their websites in over a year with NO explanation or indication that they are still around! Sooo frustrating! Thanks for keeping your fans up to date no matter what (even if it is a cute kitteh post just helping us have a better day)
