Can you send amazon gift certs for only 3 bucks? I'll send you one for that over irc or some poo poo when I get home.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

My friend is actually a hot girl. I'm hoping she repays me with sexy photos.

This is important!

I just wanted to mention that I stopped following this thread about 7000 posts ago when speculation about this wholly original book started. I was pretty loving surprised to come back yesterday and realize you actually got it published on amazon.

This gives it the dubious honour of being the only finished collaborative goon project to date, right?

That and the fast turnaround makes it even easier to loathe GRRM for focusing on his "half dozen other projects" instead of writing anything new. Sanderson and Abercrombie put out a new book every year, you absolute fucker, and now this.

I think so... it's sad that it is and it's sure as hell no Zybourne Clock, but it was loving finished.

I don't know, maybe it isn't the first one ever finished but it's sure as poo poo the first goon project I've ever seen finished.

Okay, so apparently my friend actually downloaded AGoB, but it doesn't work on her tablet. Can someone take a peek at the file from amazon and see if it's hosed?

Nevermind, when she said "it doesn't work" she meant because she doesn't have a Kindle. Isn't there a Kindle app, though?

There is most definitely an iOS Kindle App, an Android app, and a Windows app, so I don't know what the problem is. Direct her here.

I'm all for writing things in advance (hell, I've already given poor thornghost a preview), but we should probably refrain from posting chapters until we're finally done with all that we're doing with the first book.

Yeah, Arbite's got the right idea. Please, no one post chapters yet. I would argue, perhaps, at all? At least in-thread, if you want to PM one another to laugh, that's totally fine. I would like to be entirely surprised when our second novel comes out, plus there's also keeping it from the prying public eyes! We're in a business, people, no sense giving it away.

It shows up as $3.17 for me (the $0.18 difference might be NY sales tax or something, I dunno. Amazon is weird like that).

Ah, probably some UK thing then. We have pretty high VAT so that might be part of it

I tried to set the price as 2.99 in whatever currency it was (if applicable), rather than letting Amazon use the US dollars price as the baseline and come up with an adjusted price. If you're seeing weird prices, it may be taxes - I'm not sure.

Also, I went ahead and started a Google Doc for A Clash of Kinks and shared it with everyone who was a contributor last time. Check your emails for the link. If you're a new contributor, send me an email at agameofbones@gmail.com with your SA username in the body of the email and I'll add you to the list if you're on the outline for the new book.

I would like to enlist people's help writing some reviews of A Game of Bones on the Facebook page and the Amazon one. I recommend skimming through the Amazon A Game of Thrones review page and just finding some that apply to the new book. Those tend to be the funniest.

quote:

My son recommend this book. I was not sure if I would like it because it did not sound like my kind of book but it was an excellent book. I could not put it down. I just started book 2. I highly recommed this book.

quote:

The book has so much detail to it that the plot really comes alive in your mind. The only down side is the skipping from character to character... I get engrossed in the story of one just to be tossed some place else in an entirely different story in the next chapter.

quote:

A great tale and a treat for one's imagination. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Truly a work of art.

quote:

My daughter tried for months to get me interested in this series...I kept dawdling. Finally, bought this ro read on my Kindle and stormed through it in days. Have also read books two and three. Love the action, the characters and the intrigue!

You get the idea.
