Some words from us to you about...
PROMOS:
Life has kept us busy. We're still working on Book 3 of Fate's Crucible (no working title yet), but while we slowly chip away at that, we would like to offer you the following titles for FREE on Smashwords:
Promo code: AG100
Use the AG100 promo code when checking out and you can take them all with you for the price of $0.00. We hope you enjoy and it is a welcome distraction to all of our collective worries.
We're looking into how we can mirror this on Amazon, but... you know... Amazon.
PRINCIPLES:
We're getting around to changing the front matter on these older books, but we'd like to make sure it's spelled out for you here. When we first started all this, we were novices and had a very different view of how we wanted to protect our works. They were a bit overprotective at first. If you have one of those first editions, you'll know what we're talking about.
We've matured a bit and rewrote those title page notes. Here they are, in case you happen to have or get an older version:
This work is licensed for your personal enjoyment. Please do not electronically duplicate or re-sell. However, if you would like to share this book with a friend, we think that's awesome. We are a home-grown, independent publishing partnership and are thrilled to know you think enough of our work to share it with others. Tell us about it through our social media; links to where you can find us online are in the back. We're grateful for all your rates and reviews. Thank you for reading and sharing!We mean that. Especially right now. If you get a free book through the promo and think a friend might enjoy it, feel free to pass it along with our blessings.
What about "don't duplicate or resell?" Okay, so we're a bit insecure. We like to see numbers. File-sharing on websites and reselling physical copies makes tracking numbers difficult. We're not going to be mad about it, but please think of our fragile egos.
There are other talks on making things more available on a permanent basis, so keep an eye open for more announcements here.
PANDEMICS:
Please be safe out there during this time. Wash your hands, practice social distancing, listen to reputable scientific sources for best practices.
We're a fledgling Empire, but we wish health and happiness to all of our friends and family. That includes you, dear readers.
