announcement: Melusine and The Virtu OOP: what next?
So remember a while back, I said I had an awesome piece of bad news?
I can tell you about it now.
The bad news is, Mélusine and The Virtu are out of print.
The AWESOME news is, Ace has officially returned the rights to me.
Which means I can finally finally finally do something about getting them BACK in print.
Plan A is to find a small press that would be interested in publishing them, either separately or in an omnibus edition. (Although there is the whole second half of the series, I think the first two books actually stand together very nicely, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.)
If that fails, Plan B is to self-publish them, through lulu.com or some such POD service, so that at least people who want to read them can get ahold of them. Yes, obviously, I would vastly prefer it if there were a way for these books to continue to contribute to (a.) my career and (b.) my income, which is why we're going with Plan A first, but if Plan A fails, I'm not going to sit on them like a dragon with a very small hoard, but will find a way to make them available.
In any event, I've been frustrated and unhappy about the situation, particularly wrt The Virtu, for a long time, and I am extremely happy that I finally have the ability to do something constructive about it.
