Well... If my conversion is accepted as is, look for the LRF for download in Jeffery's website sometime this week.

I haven't actually talked to the folks at Baen yet, but I seriously doubt that they contract with individual authors for ebook versions of titles published elsewhere. (Other than public domain books, I mean.) I can think of a dozen reasons why that would be more trouble to them than it's worth. Still, I should ask.

Past history suggests that if your books have a decent history of sales, Baen is likely to be interested in selling them in bits. And their standard policy is to take non-exclusive e-rights, so it wouldn't even prevent you from also selling through e-reads or fictionwise or whomever. So please check it out! Baen really does have the most reader-friendly scheme for selling ebooks that I've found so far. Xenophon P.S. And a very happy birthday, too! |

I have, in fact, added a link at the end of most of the versions saying, if you enjoyed this, please help out with a Paypal donation.
I've just uploaded a PDF2, which is a bigger file (2.4 MB), but optimized for display on a PDA. (I.e., the text reflows to the small screen.) It took an old version of Framemaker that I had on my computer from a previous job to do it, and boy was it a royal pain. Would anyone like to volunteer to help proofread the updated file for Strange Attractors when I have it ready in a day or two? It would be as a Word doc. |

After reading all the posts I've added Neptune Crossing to my ever expanding list (actually it has jumped from the hundred something to the next in line after Birthright: The Book of Man with only a few pages to go). Thank you for supporting ebook readers.
P.S Donation on it's way Regards |

You could provide a 2-3 page sample on your own site, with info an a link to buy the book at booksforabuck.com for example. Here is their information page for authors: http://www.booksforabuck.com/general/authorpage.html It looks like fictionwise.com also provides this service. Check out their authors info page at http://fictionwise.com/authorinfo.htm . BOb Last edited by pilotbob; 08-26-2008 at 08:40 AM. |

I have to say thanks a lot for this Jeffrey. I've never read any of your books before - To be brutally honest I've never heard of you before this thread - but what a great way to get people like me to realise you're there and writing and convince us to give you a try.
I have quite a large to read list at the moment but I'm certainly adding Neptune Crossing close to the top when my new reader arrives next week. I just read the prologue and it definitely looks like something I'd enjoy. *Edit* While typing I set a Librarything search going. It would seem I own a copy of Infinity Link I've never read. I'll have to give that one a look too. Keep up the good work. It's always great to see authors willing to give ebooks a try. |

Baen has lately started doing e-stuff even for authors whose print works they don't publish. And given that Tor is (at some point) going to start shopping its own e-books through Baen, it might make sense to have your books in the same place as the rest of Tor's e-books.
Though you'd want to check and see what their terms are. When I asked a certain small publisher to see about shopping the e-books of a renowned fantasy author he was publishing to them, that publisher didn't like their terms at all. |
