Hey Edge, I just bought something on Amazon and after I got a recommendation to buy two of your books. Nice.
I don't have a kindle so it didn't happen, but what I might do is go to my local library and recommend they add your book to the library.
You should do that, if readers ask for your book to be added they often times will end up buying the book and adding it in assuming you have them in hard copy, I thought I saw that. Maybe next time I'm on Amazon I'll look for a paperback of your series or something.
I'm happy for you, it's always nice to see people succeed.

JazzSpazz, you can still buy the kindle versions with the Amazon's free kindle apps for PC/Mac, Phones/Tablets or even with the Cloud Reader. If you don't mind reading on those devices, of course.

They aren't available for Turkey but since you're in US, I think there won't be a problem for you.
Good info, thanks.
I'm too old school for that, I hate reading on a device. I have to have the actual book in my hand. *shrug
Same for me. There's nothing like the scent of a book.

Physical copies are available for all the books. The print editions are gorgeous!
I'll look them up and give them a try one of these days.
I only saw the kindle version but admittedly I did not dig in and look for paper versions.
Time is the issue for me, probably a good idea to stop posting crap here and do something productive like read your series.
You make more money from a print sell, or a kindle sell? Just curious.
Also, what do you think about the Library idea?

Kindle profits on books selling for 2.99 or higher are 70%. So I actually make a little bit more from Kindle sales on books 2-5. I make about $2.79 per book. With the print editions, I make about $2.30.
In order to get the books in libraries, I would just need readers to request them. Smashwords has a library program for digital books and they have all my books but the last one available to that program. As far as physical copies in libraries, they can get the books at library rates directly from Createspace. So that works great.
Finished Eye of the Moonrat, now on book 2. Pretty enjoyable, frankly better than I expected. Congrats! Parts of the books remind me of R.A. Salvatore--he's not my favorite fantasy author, but certainly knows how to put together a good read. If I had one piece of advice to give, it would be to avoid fantasy cliches like the plague. For example, the whole schoolboy bullying thing in book 1 has been done to death. I think there's less of that in book 2, which is maybe why I'm liking it a little better than book 1 so far.

Thanks, Colton.
I'm glad to hear you are reading the books. I hope you will find that the books get continually better as you go, just as my writing style grew. Please continue to let me know what you think as you go!
