Jeff, hi! How nice of you to stop by! Thanks for the shout-out about my covers.

I actually wrote to Mark Coker to ask about whether you can withhold the price change from the 3rd party outlets by not resubmitting. He told me that when you change the price on SW, it automatically "populates out" to the other outlets the next time books are "shipped" to them, which is once a week on Thursday or Friday. Is your experience different? Actually, maybe you could just email me the answer so we don't keep talking shop (I started, I know) and bore all these nice people to death.

I'm glad you're in on the big sale. I think it's going to be a win-win for us and the readers both.

BTW, for the benefit of others here, Pat is not only a writer, she's a terrific cover designer. She did the covers for my Chaos Chronicles and, just last week, for my new Dragon Space omnibus that's on a thread floating somewhere near this one.

P.S. And I'll be taking part in that Backlist eBooks special Pat mentioned, also.
