Hi there ((cwg))

Volume 4 is up on Kindle. It may take several hours to become available, but it is uploaded.  :)

I just uploaded it, so it's still in 'review'. I can't guarantee it, but going by the others it shouldn't be more than an hour or two, provided it gets accepted.

And, for those admitted fans, there is a surprise for you at the beginning of this volume. I hope you like it.  ;D

This one took longer than the others to put up because it's new. I had this idea and wrote the first 7 parts between 2004 and 2006. At first I submitted it to several e-zines but got no takers, so the stories languished in my computer for 6 years.

Then I saw Deposed King's 'how to Kindle' post and decided to try that.

The first three came out so quickly because they were already written, and only needed slight editing and updating. Everything past part 7 is new, which is why it's taking longer for me to publish. No one but me has ever seen parts 8 & 9 yet. You will be the first  :D

Volume 4 just went live, at least it did for me. Promotion is set up for saturday and sunday. (1201am PDT sat 11 aug 2012 to 1159pm PDT sun 12 aug 2012)

As always, amazon does not guarantee exact promotion times. Keep checking until the free promotion shows up.  :)

Thank you  8)

I was just rereading it and found a few mistakes. A misspelled word or two and some pov switches in the middle of a scene. I find myself conflicted as to whether or not I should post the corrected version or not. It would mean a couple hours of the story being unavailable again. Not to mention ruining the versions of those who already bought it.

I could, and would e-mail a free copy of the corrected volume, but it wouldn't be in Kindle format.

Then, again. Maybe being one of a very few people to have the uncorrected version might be something later on. Like having a misprinted stamp or something.  :P

Probably not.

Anyway, should I correct it or no?

I think I'll be leaving it as is for now. I've always intended that when I had enough volumes to justify it, I would put them all together into one book. I just don't know how long it will take me to come up with enough stories.  ???  :o

When I do, the combined version will have all of the corrections and changes I make between now and then. :)
