Jidai Geki Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hey all, I realise it's been over a year since I posted, but I thought I'd pop in and give a quick update on this. The book that I posted piecemeal here over the years has been completed, edited, and put up on Amazon.com. It can be found here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tell-No-Tales-Lee-Parry-ebook/dp/B00HI3MSPC/ref=sr_1_49?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1388225273&sr=1-49 (Amazon link) http://www.themire.co.uk (Promotional website; fairly simple at the minute, features links to character biographies and the book) Apologies for this new shamelessly self-serving thread, but I believe the old book thread has been archived. If I've broken any rules, Travis, let me know and I'll remedy the situation! Thanks. http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery!

DarthBrendo Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Downloading the kindle app for my phone now so that I can buy and read this. I said I would buy it if you ever got it published, and I meant it. Thank you for the acknowledgement too. Are you happy for me to plug it via the site's twitter/FB? and through my own FB? How would you like it described in 140 characters or less? The site looks great too. I really like the style of the writing on it, fits in with the general vibe of the story, and the addition of the magazine(?) covers on the right as well is a nice touch. EDIT: I've just logged in to my Amazon account, and it's telling me "this title is not currently available for purchase."

Silas Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'll definitely be purchasing this as well. I read most, if not all (can't remember if I ever finished) of what you posted on the site and absolutely loved it. I look forward to seeing the completed project.

Jidai Geki Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 That's strange Brendan. Maybe it's got something to do with the Australian Amazon site? I just checked and it's up. Thanks to both of you guys for your support when I was writing it. I put you in the acknowledgements Brendan, because of course I did! The finished version will differ a bit from the version you both read. http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery!

Amidala Skywalker Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That's awesome, Lee! Congratulations! How was the self-publishing process? LOL, love the "he's a good man, and thorough" part on your bio. SHE MEANS TO END US ALL!!! DOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!11eleventyone! There goes Ami's reputation of being a peaceful, nice person.

Jidai Geki Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Ami. I kinda went through self-publishing in two phases, since I looked at it last Christmas, as well. Formatting the book correctly so that the Table of Contents, chapter headings and indentations etc. displayed correctly was a bit tiresome, but only really needs doing once. The process of putting the book up on Amazon was actually pretty painless. I had to fill out some US tax form, add a blurb, choose a royalty option (there are two -- 35% and 70%) and give account details. All fairly straightforward. Brendan -- sorry, I forgot to acknowledge some of your post the first time round. It'd be great if you mentioned the book here. Describing it in 140 characters or less might be tricky... you can just say it's a 'post-apocalyptic steampunk revenge tale'.

DarthBrendo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Lee. I don't know what the problem was the other night, it's just worked fine and is downloading now. I shared it on my FB and I'll do Twitter now through the sites account Happy to support you.

Jidai Geki Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks Brendan. The book is also available in paperback format now: https://www.createspace.com/4623503. It's a hell of a lot more expensive than a digital copy -- I was forced to set the minimum price at around $20 US. http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery!

DarthBrendo Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Nice work. I'll be checking that one out for sure. I still prefer hardcopy to softcopy. Member of Jnet Addict Club 12/05 Order of the Nocturnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidai Geki Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well as I said, it's expensive! I'd also appreciate it very much if you could put a review up on Amazon when you're done with the final draft. I'm currently sitting at 0 reviews and I don't think it's doing me any favours! http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery!

DarthBrendo Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ah true. I'll get on it...do you want me to c+p the same one to both entries? Member of Jnet Addict Club 12/05 Order of the Nocturnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBrendo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I posted a review for you. Hope it helps you get some more sales. Member of Jnet Addict Club 12/05 Order of the Nocturnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidai Geki Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, I just noticed your review. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Saw the paperback for the first time the other day (a friend ordered it, got hers before I got it!) and it was pretty exciting! http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery!

DarthBrendo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That's awesome. If I order one and send it to you, would you autograph it and mail it back? Member of Jnet Addict Club 12/05 Order of the Nocturnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidai Geki Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Haha, of course! http://www.themire.co.uk-- being a veracious and lurid account of the goings-on in the savage Mire and the sootblown alleys of Portstown's Rookery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBrendo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Swish. I'll order one and PM you when it arrives to find out where you'd like me to send it Member of Jnet Addict Club 12/05 Order of the Nocturnal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
