A-KON was a blast! The release party for Summerworld ended up being very small -- I only sold a few copies -- but the "ashcan" version (the four-chapter sampler) blew off the shelf, and this also means I now have that many more copies in-house for people to get signed!
So, if you want to buy copies directly from me, the easiest way to do that is PayPal:
The total cost is $11.99 + $3 S&H for the continental U.S. Other regions may be higher; contact me for details.
Oh, and the POD People blog is in the process of reviewing Summerworld. They looked at my earlier book Another Worldly Device a while back and really liked it, so I hope they like this one as well. (And even if they don't, I'm happy it's just done the way I wanted it to be done.)
But I got a complete left-field surprise from them: they cited the cover art as a positive example of how to do this sort of thing right in the self-published world. THAT knocked me right over.
Hey, it's David from A-Kon. Northwest lost my bag and I just now got it back from them, so I'm going to start reading Summerworld this week. I can't wait to read it (and i'm trying to convince many of my friends to buy it as well)
