Traveler ebooks updated

When I put together the paperback edition of The Traveler in Black and White I added a Cast of Characters, updated the picture of Castle Buckmore, and made about six or seven minor editing changes.

I remember changing ‘leave’ to ‘leaving’, adding or subtracting a few commas, replacing Spain with Iberia, since I used Iberia as a better country name in the Mariusz & Rajah short story.  On the whole I’ve tried not to use proper country names in the stories, or place names either, although a good map or atlas will identify where I mean!  For some inexplicable reason the second to last paragraph of the book had half a dozen double full stops in it. . Like that.  I have no idea why, but they are there no longer!

You can update your ecopy of Traveler by synching with your Amazon site (I think – check Kindle help if necessary) or if you got it from Smashwords you can update to the new edition if you go to the book page there and choose ‘download’.

If you are planning to buy it from one of the other online stores, it may take a few weeks to be applied, as the stores do their own checks once a new file is received.  Check the preview feature to ensure it is edition 1.3.  There was no 1.2 in the Smashwords version, but it was too confusing to have the same content in different edition numbers for Kindle and Smashwords.

Win a Princelings Book

I may not have any books on offer or free at the moment, but there are plenty of places you can enter to win one.

BookGoodies.com have a Mega-giveway that is now closing on Friday by my calculation.  150 prizes to be won including a paperback of the trilogy and one copy of any of my ebooks.

Goodreads Giveaway of The Traveler in Black and White closes on Friday midnight.  One copy of the new paperback of the fourth in the series.  You have to be a Goodreads member, but if you aren’t and you like reading, then I recommend you sign up.  It’s free and there are lots of nice people there.

The Independent Author Network has a fabulous draw on the go, to win one of three Kindle Fires (of various degrees of sophistication) plus free ebooks from members.  That includes a copy of The Princelings of the East (or other of the winner’s choice).  This giveaway needs entering by email as shown on the link, and closes at midnight PST 24th December.

Starting on 1st December and running to 23rd midnight EST, the 12 Authors of Christmas will be hosting a blog tour and giveaway of 30 prizes of their own ebooks.  I’m offering three prizes of one of the Princelings series books.  Watch out for the first post advertising it on my blog from 1st December.  The giveaway uses the hashtag #MGBookElves, so look out for that, too!

More advance warning: Mother Daughter Book Reviews are hosting a Kid Lit Holiday Extravaganza from 6th to 13th December, with loads of people signing up to giveaway a children’s seasonal related book or cash on their blogs during that period.  If you’d like to sign up, you can do so here until Nov 30th.  I’ll be giving away a prize of Dylan’s Yuletide Journey, specially published as an ebook, together with a little something extra.  Watch this space for the Holiday Extravaganza post on December 6th!

Website Construction Progress

avatar_georgeIf you’re reading this post, then I’ve probably been successful at redirecting the princelings.co.uk website to this place.  The only trouble is, it probably says something else in the webaddress bar at the top of your browser.  I’m working on it.  I think I may have done something in the wrong order, in which case I’m going to have to ask technical support to sort it out.

But if you can put up with having long codes in the address bar, we can go live on here.

I still have to tidy up all the illustrations for the books as they have become unattached from their pages.  I think I ought to check all the links too.  But – what do you think?  Let me know if you find anything that needs fixing.
