Finally Finished!

After almost two years of work, I'm finally finished Victory Or Extinction - Book Three of The Rational Future Trilogy! For that matter, about twelve or thirteen years after I started it, I'm finally finished The Rational Future Trilogy.

Its been an incredible journey, and an incredible adventure, both in the story and in my life, and it's pretty emotional to finally have it completed.

I've been having trouble with my e-commerce system on my website for some time. Selling eBooks on my own website gave me the most profit per book since it had the lowest costs, and because all the retail sites insist that a book must have the same price in every place it's sold, and I got the money right away.

Other sales outlets take more of the money and don't pay me for one to three months, but they have all the advantages for the reader. If you buy one of my eBooks at Smashwords.com, you can download it as many times as you want, and in any format imaginable, and if I bring out a new edition of a book with better cover art and tighter editing, anyone who bought a previous edition can get the new edition for no extra charge, anytime. For these reasons, when I publish the final edition of Victory Or Extinction my default sales site will become Smashwords.com, not my own site, and direct sales at my site will end but be linked to Smashwords.com. (Though of course my books will still be available at Amazon, Apple, Google Play, and every other major eBook retailer.) After I've completed this transition, I'll be offering coupons for my books at Smashwords.com to anyone who bought them from my own site, so they can download the latest editions if they want.

I'm going to have Victory Or Extinction on sale before Christmas, but I don't have enough time to finish all the publishing tasks before then, like editing and cover art. I'll do a quick first edit and offer a Pre-Release Edition with no cover art exclusively at Smashwords.com. That way those who want the book right away and don't mind waiting for the cover art and final editing can get it now, and when the final version comes out they can get that too, for no extra charge.

And, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank again everyone who has helped me or supported my writing career in any way! Thank you, all of you, I couldn't have done it without you!
