Boyd Morrison - 3 free novels (PDF/mobi) - [Offer Expired] - Page 22

I appreciate Dreams elaborating on the title changes for each book. It's annoying, I know, but someday I hope to get my US and UK publishers to agree on titles. The good thing is that the content is each book is the same whether you get it in the UK or the US.

Sakura, so far The Ark, The Vault, and Rogue Wave have been released in the US, and The Noah's Ark Quest and The Midas Code have been released in the UK and Australia.

Thanks, Jes!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been chained to my computer for the last four months working on the next Tyler Locke book called THE TRIGGER, and I finally turned in the first draft to my editor yesterday. Phew!

I'm also excited that my thriller THE CATALYST is being released today. It was the third of the books I self-published (it was previously called THE ADAMAS BLUEPRINT), but it was actually the first book I ever wrote. I spent a few months earlier this year revising it so that I could bring the story and technology up to date (I first wrote it in 1996). Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,
Boyd

Hi Boyd,

I recently discovered The Ark at my local library and signed it out. It caught my eye when I saw Newfoundland (where I live) mentioned in the dust jacket blurb. It was the first of your novels I have read. And what a great read! The plot was not far-fetched and frighteningly possible. I quite enjoyed it! I will definitely read The Vault sometime in the near future.

Glad to hear about The Trigger. Looking forward to seeing what the trigger is!

Thanks, Jason! Hope you enjoy The Vault just as much.

Just bought The Catalyst... $6, done. Still waiting for The Valut to go below $10 as I am for WWW: Wonder.

Thanks, Bob. Hope you enjoy it. The Vault should come down in price in February when the paperback goes on sale.

Boyd,

I notice that _The Vault_ is now out in Mass market paperback on Amazon for $8. I expect the Kindle edition will drop to $8 as well. I refuse to pay more for the kindle edition and the MMP edition.

Can you ask the publisher to adjust the price a bit now that the paperback is out. I really do want to read it.

A few weeks ago I noticed "The Ark" in my library, in Dutch. I had already read the English version as ebook, so I did not look into it.

Boydm · 02-19-2012, 08:41 PM

Pilotbob, The Vault doesn't actually come out in paperback in the US until Feb 28, so that's why the Kindle price is still higher. I'm sure that the Kindle price will come down to the same price as the paperback that day. I'm glad you're looking forward to it.

Pietvo, there is a Dutch version called De Ark. There will also be a Dutch version of The Vault, but I don't know what it will be called or when it will be released.

pilotbob · 02-19-2012, 10:01 PM

You are correct, it does say pre-order. I'm not sure how I missed that.

Pilotbob, I went online and confirmed that the ebook price of The Vault, which is released in paperback today, has been reduced to $7.99 to match. I hope you enjoy it!

I don't know what to say. Either commiserations or good news. I do know that I will be buying the new book as soon as and I am sure it will be just as brilliant as your others, after all you don't become a bad writer overnight. Personally I would agree with your positive stance and give them the finger. I think they will be the ones who regret the decision most.

Interesting insight into the publishing process, thanks for posting. Look forward to seeing your new work.

Thanks, Stormchild! I'm just glad the book will be out in some way over here in the US. In the UK you'll get the actual professional published edition.
