This is something I can't be satisfied to remain a "lurker" about.
I just began reading this series a week and a half ago, because I found The Virtu in a list of sci-fi/fantasy books with GLBT themes... I've devoured Melusine, The Virtu, and The Mirador in that oh-so-short time and will be heading out tomorrow to locate a copy of Corambis to feed this new addiction. (What will I do when I have finished with that? Let's say I'm not dwelling on that too much!)
I journeyed to no less than three libraries, all of which were thirty minutes to an hour from my home, to find these three books--in a couple of cases, the books were already checked out, so there is no question but they are being read! What has me tied in knots is the fact that they are not available for sale anywhere at all in my area. (In the San Francisco Bay Area--how is this even possible?!) I would LOVE to own all of these books, but it's just not an option.
SO, that said, I intend to write a strongly worded letter to Ace encouraging them to put all of these books back into print. How can we buy these books when they are not available? Especially The Virtu; that was the hardest book to find!
What I'd love best is if the series could be sold as a set of paperbacks; I'd buy the entire thing without blinking and just live on cheap ramen and stories for a while. :)
