alexandraerinAt the current time, the sample is only available in PDF. I have a working EPUB conversion, but EPUB both has more for me to learn and less to worry about in the finished product.
As mentioned in my previous post, I have also set up the pre-sale for the finished book, coming out March 14th (Edit: Address corrected). I'm not going to do much to publicize the previews or the sales at this point... those of you who are lurking my blog in the wee hours of the western hemisphere's morning are getting the earliest glimpse and the first crack at the Author Appreciation Editions. This will also give me a chance to tweak the format (font, margins, line spacing, etc.) if there are any real widespread problems reported. I can read it just on the three devices I've tested it on, but I know experiences can vary widely.
The next wave of attention will come when I update Tales of MU later today (tonight, probably). I'm not going to make any real attempt to let the world outside my usual audience, blog followers, and friends know about this until Monday, so you folks will have the weekend to snatch up the low numbered AAEs.
Feel free to leave feedback on the formatting on this post. I'm going to make a second post as a catch-all for that, later on when I start linking to the files from elsewhere. It's particularly the visual presentation and ease of reading that I'm interested in. If anything in the story itself seems off or wrong... i.e., a mistake or a confusing bit, I am very interested in knowing about that, too. I've revised this story more often and more carefully than most things that I write, and other eyes have gone over it quite carefully, but... things slip through.
I am interested in hearing what you like or don't like about the story, but that's for marketing and potential future storytelling purposes. My goal for a given story is to match it up to the people who want to read it, not to alter it to fit someone else's tastes. The long-term purpose of the free samples is going to be so that people can figure out for themselves if they want to read the whole story or not. If you are intrigued, read on. If you're bored, read off. If you're kind of on the fence, don't worry... this chapter is labeled a prelude because it serves as the foundation for what happens next, not the model for it. There's more action in the very next chapter.
