Friday — the Lady of Love becomes a Ghost…
… a digital ghost.
Dear Friends,
I’m excited to announce that, for you, this Friday Luthiel’s Song book 1 is going digital!! Kindle and iphone are the platforms. Ebook is the shape of it.
I’m very excited and hope those of you with access take part! For this is likely to be a unique experience.
Why?
Well, first off we’ve added a lot of innovations to the Kindle format that you’re not likely to see in your standard ebook. First, NONE of the format is broken from the original hardcopy book. So no extra spaces. No breaks in the text. No blank pages or pages with only three sentences. SECOND all the maps, runes, and other special symbols are there as well. This took a lot of time and special coding, but we finally managed to get it right. THIRD we have added additional content — new artwork, pictures and designs that make for a very fine reading experience.
The result is a top-of-the-line ebook design that is far superior to many other top-selling offerings.
You may search the web and find complaints about broken text and poor formatting in Shannara, Lord of the Rings, or Douglas Adams. Not so with Luthiel’s Song.
Why all the extra hard work? Because we want the reading experience to be as enjoyable for you as possible. And since there are a great number of you who haven’t tried the first book yet, we are also negotiating with amazon to make it available to you at the lowest price possible. It’s much more important to me that you have a chance to read the magical story of Luthiel than it is for us to make a buck. All of the work up until now has been for love of the thing and it is my ambition to pass that on to you!
Well, that’s all for now. I’ll be posting again soon to let you know the instant the first ebook releases.
Warmest regards and much love to you all!
