For those of you who are my Kickstarter backers:
I have arranged with PS Print to get a second shipment of posters since the first shipment arrived damaged. When that second shipment arrives (ETA currently somewhere between the 20th and the 23rd), I’ll get those posters out to you. I also need to start sending out the postcards, since I have those as well.
Props to PS Print’s customer service who were very willing to work with me on getting this satisfactorily resolved.

I am deploying an updated digital file for Faerie Blood out to the places where it’s sold. The differences in this file are:
- I’m correcting a long-standing typo of the name of the demon Azganaroth in Chapter 20
- Adding a bit of extra styling to fix wrapping issues with an mdash early in the book
- Adding the same “Also by the Author” list of my titles that appears in Bone Walker
- Adding ads for my other books and for the soundtrack at the end of the book, similar to Bone Walker
This updated file has been deployed to Smashwords, and as soon as it clears review there, I will be using Smashwords to deploy out to B&N and Kobo.
Which, by the way, is a thing I’m going to be doing now. My sales numbers on B&N and Kobo are low enough that I am electing, moving forward, to use Smashwords to deploy out to those sites instead of deploying to them directly. I will also be looking into Smashwords to deploy to iBooks as well.
The overall reason for this is to simplify my book deployment process some, and to cut down on the number of individual sites I have to check for sales numbers. If I use Smashwords to deploy to B&N, Kobo, and Apple, that’ll cut the number of sites I need to check from six to three.

Last but not least, I was pointed on Facebook to this rather nifty little video, called “What is up with Noises? (The Science and Mathematics of Sound, Frequency, and Pitch)”. Pretty much what it says on the tin, and it’s a lovely little exploration of the science of sound and how we hear things. Check it out.
