The Syndicate is (almost) out of print

All good things must come to an end, and the Syndicate series has now been withdrawn from sale at the Loose Id website. For now you can still buy the first three ebooks at Fictionwise (which situation I don't expect to last all that long), and the print omnibus of the first two volumes will be available from Amazon in both the US and the UK for as long as stocks last at the distributor (which won't be very long). I've still got at least half a dozen copies of the print edition lurking under the bed, but if you want one of those you'll have to pay full cover price plus postage, and the Amazon copies qualify for free shipping under the usual rules about minimum purchase.

This was very much a mutual decision -- I received an email from Loose Id suggesting that it was time to retire the series just as I was pondering sending them an email saying the same thing. At the moment I don't have any plans to submit the series to another publisher. I may well put it up on my website eventually, but the key word here is "eventually". It will take a certain amount of work to webify it, and I have other things higher on my priority list (such as writing my next book). And I'm not asking Alex to do the webifying, because she has quite enough ways of cat-vacuuming already. :->

Playing with the website again

I started mucking about with the website a couple of months back, but had to drop it for a while. I've tidied up the draft of the new front page, and uploaded it to the website. It's going to get tweaked a bit from this, but the general idea is something like this:

Any comments?

(Yes, I *know* the rest of the site needs work. But the front page, and later this week the main page, are the easiest thing to experiment with while I work out the general look-n-feel.)
