McNee... Unlimited!

It sounds like the title of a limited Comic Series (and, hey, I wouldn't be opposed to doing one...), but when I say that McNee is now unlimited, I mean that the McNee books are now available through the Kindle Unlimited program right here. This means that if you have Kindle Unlimited you can read the books for "free" as part of your monthly payments. If you don't, you can still download them for a very reasonable price per book.

The downside to this means that the e-ditions are currently only available via Kindle/Amazon. I thought long and hard about this, but based on historical sales, somewhere around 99% of sales were through Kindle, and since signing up, I've had a few lovely borrows that mean I'm earning better than I was when they were available via smashwords and other sites. Is this situation permanent? Probably not. I want to reach as wide a base as I can, but right now this is where the readers seem to be.

However, you can also order print versions of the books, and bookstores should be able to order them through the expanded distribution program too. I'm still experimenting with having the rights to these titles, and if the right publisher came along, I'd probably allow them to be reprinted, but right now I'm loving the new covers by JT Lindroos and the fact that when you buy a copy of the books, the royalties come right to me. As of this post, only the first four are available, but the fifth is coming very very soon... (check out that lovely cover by JT -- and that amazing quote from the wonderful Robert Olen Butler).

And you can still get my two non McNee books -- And When I Die, and Ed's Dead -- in all e-formats from the wonderful Saraband books (although AWID is currently out of print in physical edition). 

 So, you know, please go read all of the books -- and review them, too, if you get the chance. The more stars, the more I know you love me... and you do love me, don't you? Don't you?
