Oh yes indeedie. From a personal perspective, I'd rather that those who don't mind either way bought the books direct from Loose Id, because that we LI and I both get a lot more money (FW takes around 50% of the shelf price). But with that wild promo going on at the moment, as soon as I realised that LI had stuck a load more books up, I thought I'd better let people know how to spend their MicroPay...

Well, as a compromise, (supporting the artist feeds my ultimate selfish goal -- if you are successful, you'll continue to write books, just for me!) since I didn't buy any of your books from Fictionwise this round (you're on my auto-buy, so nothing new for me to buy on FW), your print copy of Syndicate 1&2 is sitting in my amazon shopping cart (along with Surf'n'Turf, which sadly, only makes the total $24.18 US so the order will have to wait until I select another item so I can take advantage of free shipping).

Now, if only we would get the good news that the rest of The Syndicate series was available in print... *hint hint!*

I don't normally say much about it because I don't want to guilt-trip people when there are good reasons for readers to go to Fictionwise; but yes, I do know other readers who like to buy small press books directly from the publisher for precisely that reason. :-) (Including me...)

Print's not up to me, I'm afraid, and not happening any time soon anyway -- Loose Id's taking things very cautiously with the print programme, and I'm happy to see it. (There's reason to think that the financial strain of the print programme was a major factor in Triskelion going under.)

I haven't asked them, but I suspect that Vol 3 plus FLC aren't quite long enough to make a viable print edition. Alex and I had started working on some ideas for the honeymoon story, but she's had a bad case of writer's block and now isn't well, so I don't see that happening any time soon.

Hope you like the print edition. :-) It's annoying when you're just that little bit short of the minimum for free shipping. Now that I'm back in the UK I need to ask one of my friends for the url of a handy website she uses -- someone's put together a list of interesting small cheap things you can buy to bring your order up to the minimum for free shipping, when you're in that annoying situation of the postage costing more than the gap. Stuff like this:
