After reading it, I decided to give it a new title and publish it to the Kindle. You can find it here: A Tragic Romance.

It’s an interesting story for 1904, though I can’t tell you why without giving away the surprise ending. I set the Kindle price to $0.99, so if you’re so inclined, pick it up there. You don’t need an actual Kindle to read Kindle books. I use the Kindle for PC app, and there are Kindle apps available for other devices.

A Tragic Romance is approximately 8,000 words long and in the public domain. But it’s hard to find, because it was hand-sold by the author as a hard-cover, 40-page book. It’s not currently available on any of the well-known public domain sites, since few public collections have it. That’s also why it didn’t come cheap. Most existing copies are in private collections.

The Kindle book includes a foreword and afterword written by yours truly. In the foreword, I describe the physical book. In the afterword, I talk about my reaction to the ending.

I hope to make an announcement about one of my own books soon. 

Enjoy your weekend.

As Karin says, since the lesbian fiction market is so small, it doesn’t take many lost sales to potentially close down a lesbian fiction publisher or have a writer wondering if she should quit.

Anyway, pop over to Karin’s post about eBook piracy. It’s a long one…

The Read an E-Book Week site has a list of participating stores and authors. You can also grab free PDF files from my site, Rymellan Fiction, if you want to check out a story. They aren’t nicely formatted, though; they’re basically the Word files saved as PDFs. During Read an E-book Week, you can get the first eight stories, formatted for eReaders, from Smashwords, at half-price (you can get them all the time at half-price by using coupon code HL36R).

On the subject of eBooks, Aaron Shepard came across a job posting on Apple’s site that strongly suggests that Apple is interested in having small and self-publishers bring their books to the iPad, so that’s good news!

Have a great weekend!
