I Built My Own Platform

I Built It...Will They Come?

I’ve finally done something I’ve been meaning to do for many years. Now at my website, readers can buy my E-Books directly from me. They can also review/rate/comment right on the site.

This might be a deal-breaker for 99% of visitors, but you actually have to pay for the E-Books before you can download them—which means entering your credit card info the first time. Oh well—there’s only so much I can do to make it convenient.

I think the site looks pretty cool, now.

There’s still some renovations left to complete. I’ve been chatting with The Brothers Krynn, and I might open up a corner of the site to allow fellow authors to park short fiction/sales magnets there rent-free. If you authors are interested in such an arrangement, sound off in the comments with what sort of content you’d like to park there, so I can gauge interest.

And if there are any readers out there in the midst of the author hordes, buy one of my E-Books on the site and let me know if the download went smoothly…or didn’t. I’ll get you your book if I have to email it to you, and it will help me to know if the widgets are working correctly.

I may go forward with additional plans I’ve harbored for a long time, which also would be beneficial for both readers and authors. But my priority right now is doing what I can to make my upcoming Kickstarter succeed.

Speaking of that Kickstarter…

If you like comics, visit Virtual Pulp Press, where I’m posting episodes of my new ensemble superhero graphic novel, Threat Quotient. Before the campaign for the print version launches, you can read it digitally for free and determine if it’s your cup of tea. I hope you do and it is.

Meanwhile, sign up on the pre-launch page for a reminder when the Kickstarter begins on April 28.
