Getting Seventh Night directly from Ingram

I have pulled the Seventh Night hardback from general distribution.  Rising print costs have just made it too expensive, and the book is over due for a paperback edition.  For now, you can still order the hardback directly from Ingram (our printer/distributor) for $24.99: https://shop.lightningsource.com/b/085

I'm on a mission to tidy up my web presence.  I fixed a lot of broken links on the budgeting blog and wrote some new posts that should appear over the next few weeks.  https://minimumwager.livejournal.com/  

I have been working on the last Before the Fairytale Story: Seven and Thirteen .  It's kind of a vignette style snapshot of Seven Night at Seven and Thirteen years old.   I think part of what has held up the release of The Hidden Prince is that I don't know if this last story will long enough to justify it's own print copy.  If it's very short, I'll probably stick it together with The Hidden Prince since the two stories are more closely related.  So far I'd guess it's between 15,000 and 18,000 words.  For comparison, The Girl With No Name is just shy of 36,000 and Horse Feathers over 85,000.  Not impossible it will hit a similar length.  The Hidden Prince is just over 31,000 words.

I do have some more chapters to go.  So it may turn out long enough.  I did pull it as a serial from Fictionpress.  The serialization may have gained me a few readers, but it wasn't bringing in the numbers I need to really impress and agent or traditional press.  I didn't care when I started out, because I didn't have the pressure of needing to sell a huge print run quickly.  But if I want to get the clout to do a project that I really want to, I need to show I can write books that will sell at traditional press numbers.  So got to find a fresh book release strategy.
