What Have I Done?!

Have you ever found yourself in one of those 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' awkward situations? You know the ones where whichever choice you make you're likely to upset someone? Well, this week it's my turn.

Today sees Sandpipers' Secrets released in print. When Total-E-Bound contacted me to let me know they were going to do a print run I was quite excited (insert over the moon with the chance of girl squeals). This will be the first book I've written that I'll be able to actually hold in my hands. Breathe in that fresh ink smell. Hide from the kids! Unfortunately, due to a small clerical error, no one realised the original manuscript was a few thousand words short of being eligible for print....until a few weeks ago. In the meantime, I'd made various announcements and promises to people for a print version.

So, after a lot of thought I decided to add to the original manuscript and write another chapter. All the ebooks copies sold from now on will contain this new material...but what about those that purchased the original ebook version? It seems rather unfair. So I came up with the following solution:

The additional chapter is available on my website for anyones that would like to read it. The following link will take you straight there;

http://www.jadearcher.com/Sandpipers_...

It's basically the last chapter before the epilogue.

In addition, I have seven .pdf ebook copies of the revised version of Sandpipers' Secrets Sandpipers' Secrets (Sandpipers, #1) by Jade Archer to give away. Simply leave a request for one on this blog post and it's all yours! :)

So, if you know anyone that's after a free contemporary mmm romance ebook with a twist pass the word. :D

Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week and happy reading to all!

~Hugs~
Jade.

LaShonta I would like a copy. That way I'll just read the whole thing at the same time.

Congratulations, Jade. I really enjoyed this story. It's nice to see it go to print.

Jade Archer Hi everyone! Thanks you so much for stopping by :D It seems while I was sleeping you've all been busy :D

@ Heather ~Yep, this is the place. I'll forward a copy asap. Hope you enjoy it! :)

@ Bubbles ~ Ah! You're a good man, Bubbles. I really hope you enjoy the little addition I made :) ...Raven's Mark is almost there. Only a few more thousand words and it'll be ready to go!

@ Nikyta ~ Thank you :) I think the addition adds a little more to the characters, a side to each of them that wasn't there before. I'm glad I wrote it and I hope you enjoy it.

@ LaShonta ~ Hi! I'm not sure I have you email, so I'll PM you for the details, but rest assured I'm setting a copy aside for you right now :D Hope you enjoy it!

@ Carol ~ Aw! Thank you so much for saying that. I've enjoyed you stories for years. You wouldn't believe how good it makes me feel to think I might have written something you enjoyed even half as much as the pleasure you're stories have given me. And yes, my first book in print is definitely a big buzz! :D

Thanks for your support and interest everyone. It means a lot to me. :)

Tamela I'm late to the party. I'm relatively new to the M/M group and just realized there were all these great short stories out there. I love Dashiel and Achan. I've signed up as a fan and would love to read more of your writing. Congrats on your first hard copy book.
