Salem Fitzgerald's Blog: Erratica

One of my books will be free each week for the holidays, starting now, Happy Hanukkah! The Conqueror is free through Friday. Next week I think it's Willow Under Water for Christmas and then Captivated for Kwanzaa. (None of these books have anything to do with any of these holidays.) Enjoy the season!

Heyyy, I wrote another book. ^_^ Willow Under Water is currently on Amazon as a paperback, but don't worry and don't waste your money - the ebook will be along presently.

(I have no idea why, last time I "published" the ebook and paperback at the same time and the ebook went live first, this time it's the paperback. *shrug* Amazon's ways are mysterious.)

Anyway, yeah, just FYI. I'll *gag* TWEET when the ebook becomes available, so it's @SalemSorted for that, if you so desire. ^_^

PS: Please forgive me for the pretentious title this time. I am SO BAD at titles. Sometimes I get a lucky idea, and then other times I'm just stuck. This time, I tried and tried, but this was the least pretentious title I could come up with. ^^; Oof.

So I've been trying to sort out my first (stupidly long) book, In Pursuit of the Crown (IPotC). It was originally posted on Fictionpress as I was writing it, and as long as I leave it on FP it isn't Amazon exclusive, which means I can't put it on Kindle Unlimited. I've looked into various options for a print version, but it's just so stupidly long that it would end up a $20 book at least, just thanks to the cost of paper. (And it would be a cave-your-skull-in giant paperback, ick.)

I think in the end, it's going to stay as it is now, and I'm going to leave it on FP as well because a few kind people followed me way back then when I was first making the jump to original fiction, and I don't want to take it away from them.

So basically, if you'd like to read IPotC for free, you can find it here: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/311406...

Please bear in mind this is not the final version. It's not edited, and I made some revisions in the eBook, but they aren't too major and the story is the same, just a little less polished.

The ebook version of "Captivated" is on Kindle! Slight delay on the paperback (if anyone wanted that, lol) but that should be up soon too.

Tell all your friends! ...You know. All your friends you talk about your gay porn with. XD (Cheers if you actually have such awesome friends, I'm just saying, I sure don't, but oh well.) ^_^

I got one.

I'm extremely NOT into social media, but it looks like I will need SOME central way of announcing things like new book releases or whatever, and it was between getting a website (which isn't free) and getting a Twatter (which is).

So - Tweeeeter. You can follow me, I won't be annoying. I have no plans to Tweet unless I have something important to say, like "hey look, I wrote a thing, here it is" etc.

Graci, all.

Awww, I think I've officially arrived! I was contacted today by an overseas scam publishing company wanting to trick me into giving them my book under the auspices of "being published." How adorable.

*poses for the media* Success!

(PS: I work in publishing. Never ever never trust any kind of publisher that finds you online and offers to publish you. Real publishers don't go searching the internet for you. This just isn't how it works.)
