10% off sale at Loose Id

My publisher is having a 10% off sale today (Dec 27 US time). Yes, I know ARe is having a 50% off sale, but some of Loose Id's titles aren't available at third party retailers (typically the ones where it's not cost-effective to pay the listing fees charged by the third party outlets). For my books, those are Black Leather Rose, Spindrift 2: Ship to Shore and Yule.

author stuff to do

Besides 300 words a day, that is. :-) There are various projects that got sidelined because I didn't have the spoons, and which I should really do something about. Also some must-dos, like the tax returns (plural). Parking a to-do list here, to be added to as I remember stuff, in the hope of getting some of it done over the Christmas/New Year break.

UK tax return - deadline end January.
US tax return - deadline further off.

Update website
-- links to author/title pages on various third party sites
-- embed Livejournal on blog page (ask Richard@wavwebs about CGI)
-- new and more fashionable CSS stylesheet
-- or even put the old stylesheet on all pages

Convert various free reads currently on my website as webpages into actual downloadable ebooks in the most popular formats, and then bug friends and fans to download them onto different devices to see if I broke the file. In order of priority:
-- The two Lord and Master shorts
-- The Syndicate series, in reverse order (because some people had the first two but not the last two books)
-- everything else

Look at the unpublished and OOP shorts that are not on the website, and do one of
-- submit to publisher
-- experiment with self-publishing via SmashWords et al
The self-publishing route will probably require selecting a themed group I can publish as a chapbook-length anthology, to make the price per kword look reasonable.

I've doubtless forgotten something...
