Quick Update: More Pocket Paperbacks!

It's been long enough, ladies and gentlemen. Now is the moment you have been waiting for. It's time for more pocket paperbacks!

That's right, I've finally got more newer editions out on the Lulu store. I recently told you all that I was working on a way to get both Someone is Aiming for You & Other Adventures and The Last Fanatics out in pocket paperback format, which I have finally done. I had to work on these for awhile because they were longer books than the others I've published so far without making them unreadable in the format. Well, I've finally solved that conundrum. I did it by splitting the larger books up into smaller volumes.

I did this because it helps contribute to the convenience of the smaller size. This way it makes the books portable without having to compromise on form factor. This also makes the books in question easier to share with loved ones and friends you want to pass the books on to them, or maybe you want to leave them in a used book store or waiting room for others to find. It's all up to you. This is, after all, what makes pocket paperback so unique.

Anyway, let's get on with it.

I have divided The Last Fanatics into three pocket paperback volumes. Volume 1 contains the original foreword and the first two parts, Volume 2 contains Part III: Science Fiction Doesn't Exist, which is the longest part of the entire book on its own, and Volume 3 contains the rest of the material as well as the afterword.

Here is the overall description for The Last Fanatics:

Once upon a time, there was a tradition of storytelling that went back into the Gothic romances all the way through the fairy tales into the classics. It was a world without genre boundaries, checked boxes, and corporate writing workshops. This tradition created all the things you grew up with, the stories and ideas you hold dear, and the beating heart of adventure that has sustained us since the beginning of recorded history. 

And then it was destroyed. 

Learn how a gaggle of Fanatics poisoned the well of discourse and imagination by turning storytelling into mechanical formulas with rules and boundaries that never existed before. Who gave them this power, and how much of their garbage still taints discourse and the industry today? In The Last Fanatics, all will be laid bare. 

It is time for the truth to be shouted out loud!

Considering the entire work was over 500 pages in trade paperback/hardcover, the individual volumes are shorter, just under 200 pages each.

On top of The Last Fanatics, as mentioned above, I have also split my short story collection Someone is Aiming for You & Other Adventures into two volumes. This one was much easier to divide up since they are short stories linked together into one long piece and can be easily jumped between should the reader desire to.

How I worked it out was that Volume One contains the first four stories in the larger collection. That would be: Someone is Aiming for You," "Endless Nights in Villain City," "Under Suspicion in Summerside," and "Knives in the Night," as the main feature.

Volume Two contains "Last Exit to Shadow City," "Lucky Spider's Last Stand," and "When the Sunset Turns Red," as the story contents.

Here is the overall description for Someone is Aiming for You & Other Adventures:

Vigilantes fight from the shadows. In Summerside, Dark Magic poisons the dying city of cultists and gangsters. This is where heroes are made. 

A man with a deadly touch, an ex-hitman, a concrete teenager, an invisible myth, and an indestructible knight, are but a few of those who stalk the midnight hour. 

In these seven stories you will meet those fighting for the soul of the city, and those hoping to bring it to a brighter future. But is there anything left worth saving in a world of death? 

Powers or Magic. Only one will win this war.

With that, almost all of my books have made the jump to the pocket paperback format. I say almost all, because as you are probably aware, there is still one four book series remaining. 

That's right, I still have to transfer the Gemini Man series to pocket paperback. Because they are a bit longer than my usual books, but not long enough to be broken up like the above two, I still have to work on the formatting and send out test versions to tweak, which will take longer. Until then, of course, you can still get them in omnibus format on Amazon, which I recommend, since the entire story is contained in one mega volume there.

Now, that's all I've got for you today. I'm still working on new material and still considering new options to distribute them to readers in unique ways in the future. Those options will be weighed a little longer as I try to figure that out, but my newest book will probably show up sooner than you might think. Keep an eye out--you're definitely not going to want to miss that one!

I've been waiting to put that out for ages.

Until next time, have a great week!
