Finally: all Young Wizards novels available in International Edition ebooks!

[dianeduane]

It's taken a while, but it's so super to be able to announce that at last readers outside the US and Canada can acquire all the Young Wizards books in ebook form.

Previously only North American readers had access to the whole series in e-format (and even that took a while, due to some hiccups at the publisher). But now all nine books will be universally available, and I can turn my attention to other things -- like the upcoming publication of the New Millennium editions of the first four books.

(One note about the latter: due to production issues at both my end and the cover artist's, the pub date for the New Millennium edition of So You Want to Be a Wizard has been kicked into mid-July. More about this in another posting.)

With all the books now in clean electronic editions, I can now also start the business of getting all of them set in type as  POD hard copy editions, for those international readers who prefer a paper book to the electronic sort. This process will take several more months to complete, at least, as there's new book work going on around here alongside the business of improving the availability of the old.

But at least these guys are dealt with now and are available DRM-free in .ePub (Nook, iPad) and .mobi (Kindle) formats.  Enjoy, all!

Hey-just wanted to say how very much I like the covers on these.
Impressively good.

yummy covers...I'll be along to the store very shortly to pick up the ones I don't have already!

Looking forward to the Millennium editions...

This is the most appropriate place I can think of to ask this

An acquaintance, a player at campfuckudie mentioned that -- well, here's the log:


[01:31:56] <+christiaN> I suspect that Rowling wants to make it publically known that she reads the fanfictions, but mus maintain plausible deniability to save herself from potential future lawsuits, else her team of lawyers will quit
[01:32:28] <@Ciel> chris related to that, Diane Duane, author of some books about wizards
[01:32:31] <@Ciel> is active in the fandom
[01:32:39] <+christiaN> oh neat o.O
[01:32:41] <@Ciel> and has actually commented to CFUD characters from her books
[01:32:44] <@Ciel> on their journals
[01:32:54] <+christiaN> .. that is ridiculous
[01:33:07] <@Ciel> (one of which swears that parts of the most recent book was inspired by CFUD)
[01:33:28] <+Azu> er
[01:33:36] <@Ciel> Ronan's player, that is
[01:33:45] <+Azu> that line was ambiguously worded
[01:34:10] <@Ciel> the one was referring to CFUD characters, but yeah kind of ambiguous
[01:34:16] * +Azu looks at _{tobethemiracle}
[01:34:38] <+Azu> and, wow, she's gone to players other than filif?
[01:34:41] <+Azu> crazy


..."Azu" being myself, there. I'd been following CFUD for over five years, and I certainly remember when people were linking you and Filif talking about dates (http://have-wanderlust.livejournal.com/6319.html#comments), back in 2007.

What I can't figure out is what he's talking about! He specifically makes his statement plural, but later in the conversation (after what I pasted) he can't really back up anything he said with links or usernames or timeframes. And looking at all the usernames I can remember -- and skimming every post on all of their journals -- I can't find anything!

I am totally feeling like this isn't any of my business but it is driving me crazy not knowing what happened -- would you mind divulging anything about you and CFUD player interactions? I realize this could easily have been anywhere up to four years ago _{(and also completely inconsequential, both making it potentially difficult to remember)}, and I also realize that I probably shouldn't even be asking you about this.

It's okay if you don't reply, but I'd appreciate it if you did. Thanks.
