Nancy Kress -- Brain Rose -- ebook Edition?

poohbear_nc · 07-13-2009, 10:45 AM

Has anyone seen a legitimate ebook copy of Brain Rose - an early Nancy Kress novel - preferably multiformat? Fictionwise has a lot of her recent stuff, but not this one.

It's one of her early neurological novels - in which certain people can intensely relive former lives - like reincarnation via an LSD trip. The trips are triggered by a drink, or fragrence, or something sensory.

Really? I've read LOTS of her stuff, but I've missed any whiff of this one. Is it a series? (I hope not.)

It's a standalone title - long out of print - my paperback edition is getting fragile.

Nancy Kress has a blog at http://nancykress.blogspot.com/ -- most recently updated yesterday. Looks like her blog posts are open for comments and she has an e-mail address posted in her profile. You might try sending her a request for "republishing" as an eBook. She's married to Charles Sheffield, whose "Jupiter" books were featured on Baen's Webscription site earlier this year. So, maybe a gentle nudge to help you out by getting her back-list into electronic format might be a good idea.

Great - thank you so much for the info - I'll get right on to it!

Done!

Just received this reply (in under 24 hours - wow!):

"Thank you for your email. I'm glad some of my titles at least are available for Kindle, and I do wish more were. I need to talk to my agent about this. The problem (one of them) is that I had so many different publishers over the years that the logistics become complicated.
Best,
Nancy Kress"

So - another author aware of the ebook market and willing to help in the process of getting all of her titles converted! WooHoo!

BTW - some of her books & stories are available both at fictionwise and Amazon.

My local library had Beggars and Choosers in the $1 bin and I thought she was a phenomenal author.
