@jimchines.comThese are new editions, not an update to the ones the publisher did. So sadly, they won’t autoupdate. Sorry.
@jimchines.comLIBRIOMANCER comes with the short story "Mightier than the Sword," and CODEX BORN includes the story "Chupacabra's Song." --- *Google Play suspended my account for 30 days b/c they thought I was uploading copyrighted material 🙄 Which I am--but I own the copyright. Waiting for them to clear that up.
@jimchines.comThe Magic ex Libris books are ready for re-release! They'll be out as e-books on Oct. 20, but they're up now for pre-order at almost all of the usual outlets.*

I've removed references to a certain transphobic author, along with some other minor clean-up.
@jimchines.comThey will be, yes. I posted them on Kobo for pre-order today with a go live date of October 20. I don’t know if they’ve processed and shown up for pre-order yet, though.

@jimchines.comAh. Got it, sorry. These aren’t new books. They’re the four Libriomancer books, which were previously published by DAW. I’ve made some revisions (removing references to a certain rabid transphobic author), but they’re basically rereleases of existing books.
@jimchines.comI’m not 100% sure. I think it was new or updated books that are limited to 2/week per content type. I didn’t dig into it any deeper.
@jimchines.comI'm setting things up for pre-order with a release date of Oct. 20, which should give me time to get everything prepped and uploaded, despite this.
@jimchines.comStarted uploading my Magic ex Libris series to Amazon. Got a message that they're now limiting people to only create/submit up to two titles per book format each week. I'm re-releasing all four books in this series. One more way the AI slop bros are screwing the rest of us over.
@jimchines.comHAPPY COVER REVEAL DAY!!!
@jimchines.comAlong with a couple of TV movies, yep. I remember watching one that had a cameo from Scotty (Star Trek).

@jimchines.comBoosting for the nighttime folks.
@jimchines.comMorning visitor in our living room. Just chilling on the curtain. (They were relocated to the back yard.)
@jimchines.comToday is the last day (I think) to get the e-book of SLAYERS OF OLD for $3.99.
Magic house and tentacled cat and baked goods and retired heroes saving the world one last time.

@dawbooks.bsky.socialReposted by @jimchines.comSlayers of Old, the perfect book to read this fall, is now in paperback! You'll no doubt binge this humorous cozy fantasy about a group of former Chosen Ones coming out of retirement to save the world one last time!

(I say it's a quarterly newsletter, but it's more of a when-I-get-to-it newsletter...)
@jimchines.comEmbarrassing news: It completely slipped my mind that the trade paperback of SLAYERS OF OLD comes out in just six days. Good news: The trade paperback of SLAYERS OF OLD comes out in just six days!
