eBook Prices of Traditionally-Published Titles

Saw two books in B&N that I’d like to read.

eBook prices are $9.99 for one and $10.99 for the other.

The $10.99 book actually costs MORE than the HARDCOVER price on Amazon.

What a joke.

UPDATE: One is available in Kindle format at my local library, and it’s on hold. Even that avenue, however, is threatened by publishers.

They’re using the Postal Service method of dealing with a crisis:

  1. Cut services
  2. Raise prices
  3. Hope for the best

We’ll see how that works out for them.

Caged!

The latest Zachary Drear Short, CAGED, is now available on Amazon and Smashwords.

Everybody is asking the same questions: What is the thing in the cage? Is it worth a dollar to look at it? Where did it come from? Are there more?

Steve wants the answers. And he’s willing to go wherever he has to in order to get them. Even to the wrecked housing development on the edge of town. Or beyond.

Smashwords Down?

I had trouble getting onto Smashwords yesterday, but I thought it was my computer. Now I have trouble getting on from a defferent computer also, so I’m guessing that they’ve got major issues.

Greetings!

It appears that ZacharyDrear.com is online and breathing. Whew.

I am a writer of horror, suspense, and other uncanny tales for young adults and the young at heart. My first Zachary Drear Short, Don’t Touch, is now available at Amazon and at Smashwords.

I plan to get a new ZD Short out every 2-3 weeks. There will also be longer works available in the near future.
