Fey 4: The Resistance Available in E-Book!
WMG Publishing has released The Resistance: The Fourth Book of the Fey in all e-book sites. I know this is big news for many of you since years ago, Bantam Books (for no reason at all) left books 1-3 and book 5 in print and took book 4 out of print. In England, you had a similar experience, since the publisher there decided not to publish the remaining two books in the series after my original editor (and the original publisher) left the company. It was almost impossible to get The Resistance if you came to the party late. There will be a trade paper edition later in the year. For now, though, you can find The Resistance for Kindle, Nook, on Smashwords, and in other e-bookstores. You can also find a copy for … Read entire article »

Mid-Month Novel Excerpt: City of Ruins
Once per month, I’ll publish an excerpt of one of my novels, and I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to buy the rest of the book. I began this practice in February. Unlike the free fiction I put up every Monday, the novel excerpts will remain on the site. If you want to read the opening to the previous eleven novels, click here. This month, I’ve excerpted City of Ruins, which is the second novel in the Diving series. I decided to post City because the third book in the Diving series, Boneyards, is coming out later this month. You don’t have to have read any of the other novels in the series to read this one, but you might enjoy it more if you read Diving Into the Wreck first. You can read an excerpt from … Read entire article »

Free Fiction Monday: Models
Kendall Dee disappears on her first day as a professional hairdresser at a New York Fashion Week runway show. When she turns up murdered, her friend Corry Lindstrom decides to find out what happened. Because Corry, a professional fashion photographer, got Kendall the job in the first place. A job that put Kendall in a kind of danger no one expected. Chosen by the readers of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as one of the top five stories of the year, “Models” takes place in a world not often seen by outsiders—a place where glamour gives way to sweat, and jealousy can lead to murder. “Models” by Edgar-nominee Kristine Kathryn Rusch is available for $2.99 on Kindle, Smashwords, Nook, and in other e-bookstores. The free story will only be available for one week. … Read entire article »

The Business Rusch: Writers: Will Work For Cheap
The Business Rusch: Writers: Will Work For Cheap Kristine Kathryn Rusch Here’s something that has nagged at me since the start of the indie publishing revolution: writers—published writers—dismissing money as a factor in publishing their work. The argument goes like this: Traditionally Published Writer A says she’ll never self-publish. When told that her $5000 advance is the only money she’ll make on that book, she shrugs and says, “I’ll sell more copies if I go traditional,” as if that’s a fact rather than a supposition. And even if she does sell more copies of the book through her traditional publisher than she would in the same period of time if she published the same book herself, the traditional publisher will take the book out of print after a year or two. The indie … Read entire article »

Recommended Reading List: November 2011
I’m doing my best to catch up on the Recommended Reading lists, so that I can be on schedule in 2012. Here’s the good stuff I read in November. All that you read down there, I wrote in November itself (or early December). *** I wish I could say that things settled down more in November. They didn’t, really. Thanksgiving snuck up on us. As I write this, on the second day of December, we’re still reeling from the fall. But I did manage to read more and write more, partly because things were inching toward normal. After Thanksgiving, I launched into my Christmas reading with a vengeance. Clearly I want this year to end. But I’m also ready to move forward. I’ve even organized my to-be-read pile. What I did read in … Read entire article »
