My first solarpunk novel releases today. You can discover Murder in the Tool Library at eBook retailers. For a paperback like I’m holding, you’ll have to wait until next week. (Barnes and Noble did me dirty.)
Anarchism heck yes
As ironic as it is to purchase yon library-economy-promoting book, our comrades still need that cash money to function in real life. And this indie ebook is significant cheaper than the last mainstream ebook I bought.
I asked several librarians what they wanted in futuristic libraries. It was pretty basic stuff, like a bigger budget to purchase ebooks.
The next-level play would be to get your library to purchase Murder in the Tool Library, but like I said, their budgets are stretched.
@AEMarling - My library needs (or prefers) an ISBN. Do you have one for this book? I only found the Barnes and Noble number.
The eBook ISBN is 9798215802649. This is exciting. 💚
@AEMarling - Cheers! Just put it in! (Screenshot of request below... but not sure if you can see it in the Lemmy UI - You'll have to click on this reply's link to view it on the Mastodon page for the screenshot)
Nice! Can't wait to read it.
Question: Do you plan to put it on lulu.com in the future?
I used the Indie site Smashwords to publish, but if lulu is better for international orders I definitely will.
Congratulations!
Thank you! 💚💚💚
Is there anywhere else to buy this? Barnes and nobles do not list my country when trying to purchase… I tried with different country, but transaction fails…
I it looks like it's available on Kindle. I don't know how Kindle handles regions, so it might still be unavailable.
The novel is available on Kindle but also this Indie site which seems to work internationally: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
I avoid kindle as much as i can 😃
Me too, but until authors and publishers start using other global platforms, there is sometimes no choice.
My favourite is when the book or magazine is in a Moon Reader compatible Epub. I hate having to keep 5 different readers.
Hold on. How about this site for eBooks? https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
This worked just fine, thanks! Will read it next weekend!
Great! Have a great imagination vacation. 💚
Paperback of Murder in the Tool Library now released in paperback at Barnes and Noble. 💚
@AEMarling hi! I imagine it’s early to ask about translations? I’m comfortable reading English but as a gift, I’d need French/Spanish
@AEMarling never mind the point is moot, I didn’t realize that B&N were unable to deliver ebooks to people not physically located in the US 🙃
Hold on. How about this site for eBooks? https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
@AEMarling yes thank you
B&N don’t seem to agree with themselves whether my order went through or was cancelled, but they’ll sort it out 🤣
