New Book, New Stores

Apocalypse ArrayThe new book from Lyda Morehouse, Apocalypse Array, is now working its way through the upload procedures at various stores. You should be able to buy it from most major venues soon.

I very much enjoyed doing the ebook conversion on this one, which I kind of expected as I loved it first time around. These days, however, it is seeming more and more prescient. For example, this recent report about a right wing radio host accusing trans people, and Laverne Cox in particular, of being agents of Satan could have come right out of the AngeLINK series. In fact I’m sure that Emmaline McNaughton would have been all in favor of Laverne.

Of course Emmaline is the Antichrist, but then we also have Ariel, the cross-dressing Archangel, to consider. You need to read the series to find out exactly what Mother (or God, or whatever you prefer to call Them) is up to.

Of course these books were written in simpler times before social media and trans activism. Lyda, bless her, asked me to include a foreword apologizing about her lack of knowledge of trans issues when she wrote the series. I’m pretty sure that we had a few conversations on such things at the time, but then the world has moved on a lot since 2004, and had Lyda come to me for advice before writing the books she would likely have produced something just as likely to upset modern-day activists than she did without me.

Anyway, I’m really proud to have published the AngeLINK series. All four books are now available so if you were waiting for that you can now buy them. And if not just buy them anyway.

Talking of which, while I can’t afford to run a fully-fledged ebook store, it is daft not to be able to sell Wizard’s Tower books direct to customers. So I have run up a fairly basic store using WordPress and a few plugins. I’m not confident using this to sell other people’s books, but for ours it should be OK. You can find that new store at the old address.

In addition I spent part of the weekend making our books available on Google Play. I’m not sure that Google is any less evil than Amazon (though the piranhas are trying really hard right now — click through and check out paragraph 2), but at least they are competition. Also, if your read primarily on an Android tablet (which I do) you can get delivery direct to your device, just like with a Kindle.
