With all my beta readers having reported in, I'm delighted to announce the release of Glencrow Summer on the Google Play Store, Kobo, Apple, B&N, Smashwords, and more. The price varies from store to store, from $3.99 for the ebook on Amazon and Kobo, to FREE most other retailers, with the paperback version on Amazon costing $12.99 Free is my preferred price, but if you are locked into Amazon, it's only a penny less than $4.00, the cost of six eggs. Or less. As I explain below, the Kobo price is an experiment. Pick it up today at your retailer of choice.

Kobo Pricing Update
Looking at my recent sales, or rather lack of them on Kobo, I decided to list my books at their Amazon retail price - for three reasons. The first is that I think Kobo buries free books in their listings. I've had trouble finding my books in their store, even when I put in my name. The second is that with the number of sales Kobo has generated, especially recently, I have nothing to lose. The third is that Kobo has its own lending library service like Kindle Unlimited. I'm thinking that maybe being able to read a book that costs money for free using the service might be more appealing than reading my free books, even if they could find them. I'm also convinced that the free book market is a distinct market from the paid book market, so that by putting a price on them I might, for these three reasons, actually find more new readers. We'll see.
And with my Project 2026 tossed into the deep end of the pool, sink or swim, a year ahead of schedule, it's on to Project 2027!
