Bargain of the Month!
For a measly one dollar, those of an e-book inclination can, all through April, get themselves one whole copy of Winterbirth for their e-reading pleasure, as this little site confirms. Available on Kindle, Sony and from booksonboard, whatever that is. One dollar! Nearly two hundred thousand words! That's ... a measly 0.000555 cents per word. And at least some of the words in there are truly great, I can tell you; worth a whole lot more than that.
I'm guessing most people stopping by here already have a paper and ink copy of Winterbirth, but if you've got an e-reader, I guess you might want a digital copy too? More importantly, if you know anyone who's into the whole e-book thing, perhaps now's the moment to point out they've got almost nothing (well, one dollar and a bit of time) to lose by giving Winterbirth a shot. Spread the word! I need to buy food!
EDIT TO ADD: Meant to mention, but failed dismally, that this is a US promotion, so all you non-USA type people can ignore all of the above. Sorry about that.

I plan on picking this up for a book. Then I will own the hardcover, trade paper, mass market, and ebook of Winterbirth :)
Hi Brian,
Quick question. I thought you had some short stories forthcoming this year, can you tell in which these will appear?
Cheers,
Armand
P.S.
One more month until Fall of Thanes. I'm scouting for advance reviews. :)
Nothing will ever replace paper and ink.
Jeff: you probably deserve a prize of some sort for such dedication to the cause. But I'm really cheap, so my gratitude will have to do.
Armand: Yes, short stories are in the pipeline - blog post on the topic is fairly imminent (including cool illustration!). One's definitely out this year, other may or may not be - not sure. Stay tuned for further info.
Mikk: I sincerely hope you're right; I've never read an e-book, and I can't see myself stopping buying paper and ink books any time soon. But I do increasingly get the feeling that although they might not entirely replace traditional books, e-books are moving more quickly than I thought they might towards being a central feature of the publishing business. I wouldn't be surprised if, one day in the non-imminent but also not-hugely-distant future, most of us are in the habit of carrying e-books around on some sort of device (quite probably a device provided by Apple, Amazon and/or Google, the way things are going ...)
