Drop Date!
Not gonna lie, I've been giddy all day. A Division of Souls had its debut today, and I've been resisting temptation to look at my first-day stats like you wouldn't believe.
Suffice it to say, I finally took a good look, and I'm pretty happy with them:
Full downloads: 3
Sample (20%) downloads: 3
Page views: 100+
Actually, it's the page views that are pleasing me the most! I'd expected a reasonably low purchase rate for a first day, especially for a n00b like me, but I'm very happy that I got that many hits.
Here's to hoping it only heads up from there!

Psst!
Because I'm such a nice guy, I'm offering A Division of Souls at NoiseTrade Books for a limited time.
You name the price!
[Yes folks, that does include free, but tips are nice, as it'll let me buy coffee. And you don't want to get between a writer and his coffee. It's not pretty.]
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

ADOS Physical Book Update
Trust me, I'm getting there!!
I'm going page by page with my galley copy right now, and it seems there were a lot more wonky errors in the text than I thought. There are a few embarrassing typos and a line or two I think I could tighten, but for the most part, the really bad errors are in the formatting. Most often it's been the Recurring Case of the Vanishing Pilcrow (which by far has been the weirdest error, as I wouldn't have knowingly deleted any). It's a long process, but I'm getting there.
I'm hoping to have the physical version available by early November. Thanks for waiting!

NEWS! And a huge THANK YOU!
Hey all!
Some nifty news to share: As of today, A Division of Souls is now a featured New and Notable book on NoiseTrade Books! It's a pay-what-you-want site for a lot of excellent music and e-books, and I'm so glad the fine people at NTB asked if I'd like to be featured.
And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's already gone over and downloaded it! Here I was, expecting maybe 15 or 20 people at most, but at end of day today, I've hit 114 downloads!! That's SO much more than I expected for one day. Again, I thank all of you. I you're all awesome. :)
And one last bit of side news as well...I FINALLY finished the galley edit of the physical version of the book! I now need to spend a few days making final fixes and reuploading it, and at that point the trade paperback will be available to buy at Amazon. W00T!
Till next time...!

I'll buy that for a dollar!
Yes! I have made the move and as of about an hour ago I've dropped the price for A Division of Souls down to just 99 cents! Woo!
And in other news, another HUGE thanks to my recent downloaders over at NoiseTrade Books, who have just made my count hit over 250! Man, that just blows my mind that I've gotten that many downloads in just two months. I'm absolutely thrilled. Thank you one and all! :D
And on last update: I am STILL working on the final edit for The Persistence of Memories, and the projected drop date is still early 2016, hopefully in January. I will of course keep everyone updated. BUT! If you're curious now, I may have posted the first chapter over at Welcome to Bridgetown. Go ahead adn take a look if you like!
Till then, thanks once more!
