December 2013 Update

Shalia’s Diary:  Book 2 is now available at all the usual suspects:  Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.  Also in print.

This month’s blog entries will reveal why Imdiko Betra is not clanned, the huge mistake Shalia makes with Clan Dusa, her newfound options when it comes to clanning, and Dad Nayun’s big news.

Clans of Kalquor 2:  Alien Rule – Electronic rights return to me in December 15.  I am ready to roll out Alien Rule for re-release as soon as that happens.

Clans of Kalquor 5:  Alien Slave and Netherworld II:  Blood Potion No. 9:  Barnes & Noble has pulled these two books from its virtual shelves with no explanation.  As I will not get the rights back to those books for some time yet, I cannot do anything about that.  If you want either for your Nook, you will have to get them from Smashwords, which carries Nook-compatible ebooks.  The link for Alien Slave is http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/133804 and for Blood Potion http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/169723.
