A Voice in Every Wind
Boxed Sets
The published Scattered Worlds books are now available in two ebook sets in Kindle format.
Beyond Our Stars: a Scattered Worlds omnibus ($8.99) contains Weaving the Web of Days, A Voice in Every Wind, All Roads Lead to Terra, A Rose From Old Terra, and The Leaves of October.
Worlds Afire: a scattered Worlds omnibus ($6.99) contains three novels of the Hoister Family: Dance for the Ivory Madonna, The Eighth Succession, and Children of the Eighth Day.
These ebook sets are the most inexpensive way to get up to date on the Scattered Worlds Mosaic.
Free Ebooks for Balticon (promotion over)
This promotion is now over, but don't worry...the books are still pretty affordable in Kindle -- all four will set you back less than $9.00. I'm listing the prices next to each one below.
To celebrate publication of The Eighth Succession, Kindle editions of these Scattered Worlds titles are free from May 26 through May 28, 2013.
All Roads Lead to Terra ($1.99)
Weaving the Web of Days ($1.99)
Dance for the Ivory Madonna ($2.99)
Balticon Free Ebook Promotion
I've just finished setting up a free e-book promotion on Amazon in conjunction with the launch party at Balticon.
On May 26-28 (the Sunday and Monday of Balticon and the day after), four of Scattered Worlds titles will be free in Kindle format. The titles are All Roads Lead to Terra, Dance for the Ivory Madonna, A Voice in Every Wind, and Weaving the Web of Days.
Now it's time to start on publicity for the promotion. I've already scheduled some tweets to be sent out those days. Now it's a matter of contacting some of the major sites that announce free ebooks and letting them know.
Incidentally, I'm planning a similar promotion for Gay Pride Month: Each weekend in June, I'll be making a different LGBT-themed story or book available for free in Kindle format. More details as the time approaches.
Kaa Station
A large, complex station in Clarke orbit above the major population center of Kaa. Headquarters of the Kaa Cartel, Kaa Station oversees Human interaction with the native Kaanese, both on Kaa and throughout the Empire.
Kaa Cartel
The planet Kaa was discovered in TE 203, and the Kaa Cartel was organized the same year under the Imperial Act of Nonexploitation to protect the interests of the semi-sapient natives. The Cartel, after much wrangling and wheeling/dealing, turned out to be a five-member board composed of representatives of the Throne, the Wakmarrel School, Idara deVigny, the Karphos Corporation, and the Sisters of Mercy.
Kaa
Homeworld of the Kaanese and home to a thriving Human colony.
