My first solarpunk novel releases today. You can discover Murder in the Tool Library at eBook retailers. For a paperback like I’m holding, you’ll have to wait until next week. (Barnes and Noble did me dirty.)
Anarchism heck yes
As ironic as it is to purchase yon library-economy-promoting book, our comrades still need that cash money to function in real life. And this indie ebook is significant cheaper than the last mainstream ebook I bought.
I asked several librarians what they wanted in futuristic libraries. It was pretty basic stuff, like a bigger budget to purchase ebooks.
The next-level play would be to get your library to purchase Murder in the Tool Library, but like I said, their budgets are stretched.
My library will let you donate books, I think most should. After I read your book I'll just give it to them.
Perfect! 💚💚💚
@AEMarling - My library needs (or prefers) an ISBN. Do you have one for this book? I only found the Barnes and Noble number.
The eBook ISBN is 9798215802649. This is exciting. 💚
@AEMarling - Cheers! Just put it in! (Screenshot of request below... but not sure if you can see it in the Lemmy UI - You'll have to click on this reply's link to view it on the Mastodon page for the screenshot)
maybe too this will offset all my Kindle recommendations from the trash romance novels I borrowed via Kindle on my library's ebook app. I don't actually want to purchase trash romance novels, thank you, just trash slice-of-life isekai manga
Nice! Can't wait to read it.
Question: Do you plan to put it on lulu.com in the future?
I used the Indie site Smashwords to publish, but if lulu is better for international orders I definitely will.
Thanks, Ill check it out there! I would definitely love to get it from somewhere that gives the most to the authors.
Congratulations!
Thank you! 💚💚💚
Is there anywhere else to buy this? Barnes and nobles do not list my country when trying to purchase… I tried with different country, but transaction fails…
Hold on. How about this site for eBooks? https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
This worked just fine, thanks! Will read it next weekend!
Great! Have a great imagination vacation. 💚
I it looks like it's available on Kindle. I don't know how Kindle handles regions, so it might still be unavailable.
The novel is available on Kindle but also this Indie site which seems to work internationally: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
I avoid kindle as much as i can 😃
Me too, but until authors and publishers start using other global platforms, there is sometimes no choice.
My favourite is when the book or magazine is in a Moon Reader compatible Epub. I hate having to keep 5 different readers.
@AEMarling hi! I imagine it’s early to ask about translations? I’m comfortable reading English but as a gift, I’d need French/Spanish
@AEMarling never mind the point is moot, I didn’t realize that B&N were unable to deliver ebooks to people not physically located in the US 🙃
Hold on. How about this site for eBooks? https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1476498
@AEMarling yes thank you
B&N don’t seem to agree with themselves whether my order went through or was cancelled, but they’ll sort it out 🤣
Paperback of Murder in the Tool Library now released in paperback at Barnes and Noble. 💚
