hold me closer, tiny blogger

Today’s Sunday catchup is going to be a short one. I’ve got three major things I need to take care of, and all of those need to be done today. I’ve been busy getting Redblade ready for this coming Thursday, the 17th, when the fifth Monkey Queen book will debut on Kobo, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, DriveThruFiction and more! I’m finishing something for a top-secret project that I can’t say anything else about. (It is top secret…for now!) And I have to do laundry. Not as exciting as the other things, but there you go.

Just a quick reminder: If you’re a Monkey Queen fan and a reader of Portuguese, I could use your help! I promise I’m not going to sell you anything, add you to some weird emailing list, or send ogres to your house; I just need some help with a publication opportunity. Contact me for more details; I’ll keep everything confidential. Thanks!

Brazilian and Portuguese Monkey Queen fans: A request (updated)

If you’re a Portuguese speaker and a fan of Michiko and Beth, I could use your help with a publishing matter. I want to keep things confidential for now, so please contact me by email or using the contact form. Thanks! (3/15: I’ve had someone contact me, so help is no longer needed for now. Thanks.)

For the rest of you, here’s a penguin video. Because penguins.

Going Wide II: iTunes and more!

I know I said I’d wait until Sunday, but this is too exciting for me to wait. The first four Monkey Queen books are available again on iTunes and DriveThruFiction! And Canadian fans can get them on Indigo.ca! (The fifth book, Redblade, will continue to be an Amazon exclusive until March 17.) I’m still waiting for Barnes and Noble to come into line; hopefully, it’ll be up on Sunday for the catchup post. Spread the word!

Going wide

Today is the big day. The first four Monkey Queen books are, or will soon be, available on web sites other than Amazon. (Due to having to fulfill a 90-day commitment to Amazon, Redblade will still be exclusive there through March 17.) They’re already available in Kobo’s US store; just search for “Robert Dahlen”, or click here! By Saturday, they should be available in other US stores including Barnes and Noble (for Nook), iTunes and Drive Thru Fiction! I’ll have links up on Sunday. It may take a few more days for the books to be available outside the US, but keep checking, and feel free to share the links here and everywhere else!

If you’ve been reading these books through Kindle Unlimited, I apologize for any issues this causes. I felt it was time to take this step, as the best way to keep the audience for Michiko and Beth’s adventures growing. If you have any concerns about this, leave a comment or contact me privately. Thanks.

Scam Alert!

Some of you may have received email recently from a web site calling itself “ebookjuice”, which claims to be a site to help authors promote their books. There are confirmed reports from at least two authors that this is a scam site. They get your email and password, and use it to try to crack into PayPal, Hotmail, Mail Chimp or other mailing list sites, and the like.

Do not use “ebookjuice”! Stay away from this site! And pass this on. Let’s let everyone know of these pathetic scumbuckets.

another glimpse of the blogger across the water

I really didn’t intend to leave all of you hanging when I mentioned that “next big announcement” earlier. Really! I just haven’t had much time or energy to post more this week, due to other commitments and that dang flu bug that’s going around. But here’s the announcement: Starting later this week (time permitting), I’ll be serializing the first Monkey Queen book, Of Introductions And Abductions, on Wattpad! More details soon, and more after the cut. Continue reading →
