(Note: This is the OFFICIAL announcement. You can tell by the officious way I typed it. Ignore the previous mentions.)
As you've almost certainly already heard, we have a "new" book out, plus a really new book up for preorder. Considering what a crappy year it's been so far, I'd say that's reason to celebrate.
At least a little "yahoo!" and a chocolate cake.
After getting the rights back from the original publisher, we've been trying to independently publish The Notorious Ian Grant for ... well, the first thing that stopped it was COVID. No, that was late 2023 for Emily and me, wasn't it? I don't remember what the first thing was, but the theme continued: illness, injury, death--generally, the 2020s.
So when I got this preview copy in the mail, it felt like reaching the peak of Mount Everest:
Your thumb may vary.
Not quite the summit, because Emily had to make some corrections, then get it up and running as an e-book. It'll be on Kindle Direct Publishing for 90 days, then go into wider distribution for those of you who would like to get it elsewhere. The print version went up just a few days ago. But the old version is also still listed, so for our improved edition, go here:
Meanwhile its "parent" book, Storm Chaser, is getting a price reduction in both ebook and print, as part of my cunning plan to get people hooked on the first book so they have to get the rest. You can find Storm Chaser here:
And from there you can click on the author's name (me, I'm the author) for the related books in the Storm Chaser series, Storm Squalls and The No-Campfire Girls, and our other books.
Another meanwhile, a few weeks ago I was surfing the internet and stumbled across ...
Okay, fine, I was Googling myself. And no, I don't have a Wikipedia page. Anyway, I discovered Haunted Noble County, Indiana, which I talked about a lot last year, is up for preorder on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Other places, too. This being traditional publishing, the official cover isn't up yet, although last week I finally got a look at it.
A week after that I got an email from my publisher, letting us know Haunted Noble County, Indiana, would be officially published on August 12th of this year. They still haven't told us it's up for preorder. I mentioned it's traditionally published, right?
You can preorder it on our Amazon page, or here:
Haunted Noble County, Indiana by Mark R. Hunter; Emily Jane Hunter
(Where the heck is Books a Million?)
I think it all boils down to Arcadia Publishing, which History Press is part of, having a very good distribution system.
More information--naturally--as the year goes on, assuming there are no illnesses, injuries, or accidents.
