Even though Wastelands wasn't my cup of tea, I applaud your being published and all the determination and hard work that entails. Just don't forget about Unfound Door, fuckhead.

And Cheddar - bragging that you know a published author will bring up questions of How? and From where? and lead to questions of What the hell is DLP? and Oedipus what? and then to statements of I need to reevaluate our friendship, you pervert.

EDIT: And I'm sorry, but every time I see Joe Ducie, my mind automatically adds in Steve Doocy, which is a shame. Yes, both are duce/dooce-bags, but for entirely, completely different reasons.

 

I bought it and I won't have the time to read it for several days. Words cannot express my disappointment.

Let the pimping begin.


Joe: I hope you're prepared to become 'close friends' with all 10,000 members of DLP. We know the author! Prepare your anusfacebook. :awesome

 

Joe, I am bitterly jealous.

But your last name kind of looks like 'Douche,' so it evens out.

Congrats!

 

Joe when you will win your first Hugo or Nebula, remember to mention DLP in your acceptance speech.

Also, who plans to write its first fanfic?

 

I haven't read any of your other work, dear Joe, so as soon as this comes out in paperback I shall read the shit out of this, and force my friends and family to read it.

 

Your real name is Joe? Definitely didn't expect that. I just got tapped for 16 extra hours, so i'll try to pick this up once it comes out for my nook.

 

Hot damn Captain Joe...

Bought that shit. Will buy the hard copy when it comes out.

Way to go, and review pending.

 

Just bought the book a minute ago, I don't know when I'll be able to get around to reading it though. My 'to read' pile has been getting bigger recently. I'll leave a review once I read it, whenever that will be.

 

Just read the sample offered on Amazon. You've got me hooked and my money. Any idea how much the paperback will go for?

 

Bought it. Read it in one sitting. Loved it. (Note to self: IOU a good night's sleep.)

Though it's too goddamn short - very solid plotwise, but some of the not-quite-fleshed-out characters leave me craving for me. Just as planned, you magnificent cocktease?

 

Fuck you all with your Kindle editions and paperback faggotry. I'm holding out for a hardback.

Then I shall purchase two thousand and build my house out of them.

 

Love it so far! Trapped on a train now, reading happily. Thank you, for making my trip all the more lovely!

Also, I love all your work, it's always a pleasure to read - I've bought every single one of your books for me, and my sister's kindle too. I told her it was her birthday present, and she said "It's not my birthday" to which I replied...

"It is now. Shut up and go read."

 

There will be other formats, soon. Amazon are just the quickest - because they're the biggest, I guess - but expect to see it on Barnes & Noble, Sony, Apple, and the other ebook sites soon. Within two-three weeks.

This I'm unsure of - I'll have to ask the imprint. It will be on Amazon, yes, but I think the distribution channels may include some of the larger online bookstores, as well.

I'm holding out for a dead tree edition, too!

I'm working on fanfic updates. Unfound Door Chapter 5 is about halfway done, and stalled, but Heartlands just got a 1000 word jump start yesterday. I've been concentrating on the novel for the last few months, polishing and pimping, so now that its coming out I can get back to other writingz.

Ha, I heard them all growing up, so bring it, chief. It's pronounced 'Do-chey'.

No, no it isn't. More like 'Do-see'. But I'll take Douche.

I want to say a tentative $15.95, if I remember the email from a few months ago correctly.

Yes, kind of as planned. Although this first story is standalone - as in it has a beginning, middle, and end - it can be viewed as a prologue to a much larger story, of which I will be writing for the next few years.

I want to aim at having the next volume ready within 6-8 months of the previous one hitting stores. So I've got till Christmas, roughly, for Reminiscent Exile #2 (which will be named Broken Quill).

And it will be glorious!

Thanks to all who have bought and those who have read and those who plan to do so!

 

I thought it was Ducky. I am disappoint.

Edit:

Also, how much are amazon and the punlishers taking away, Joe? If I'm paying you the majority, then I'll definitely buy the paperback when it comes out.

 

You are, yes. I get roughly between 65 - 76% of every sale, depending on whether ebook/paperback.

 

I didn't. I do now.

 

I bought it, despite not having a Kindle. Kind of wish I'd waited for it to be released for my e-reader's brand. Guess I'll have to find a way to convert it somehow so I can read it on there. Depending on how good it turns out I might get it for paperback too.

I'm not very far in yet (I paused at the start of Chapter Eight to write this), but it's interesting. Definitely a lot like Wastelands of Time.

 

So at the current rates, it's 10.18 in UK pounds. And either way you're getting a majority, correct? I think waiting for paper-back will remain the case for me, then. I'd rather you make 65 or 75% of $ 16 than $ 6.

Just bump this thread when the paper-back comes out, though.

 

Bought it. Looking forward to reading it.
