ATTENTION - Important Announcement!
I have just sent a formal letter to the publisher Wildside Press requesting the reversion of rights to my two novels DREAMS OF THE COMPASS ROSE and LORDS OF RAINBOW.
Which means that in a matter of days they will cease making the books available, and then in about a month or so the last of the inventory will be sold or otherwise gone.
My two novels will officially be OUT OF PRINT.
The reason I bring this up is that if any of you were eventually planning to buy a copy of Lords or Dreams (or both) in their FIRST EDITIONS, now is the time.
The first editions are about to become collector copies. *rueful grin* And because so few copies have been sold over the years (we are talking maybe 300 copies of Dreams and maybe 150 copies of Lords in both hardcover and TPB), they really truly will be rare collectibles.
Am I sad about this turn of events? Yes, very much so. In fact, I am grieving. But things have come to this, and regretfully I must do this.
These are the editions, if you want to note ISBNs:

Go and get your copies while you still can. These are good books. Yes, I know I am the author, and as such, am naturally biased. But honestly, even as an impartial observer, these really are good books.
And who knows when they will be reprinted. (I certainly have no plans of doing it through Norilana Books -- why bother? I can do nothing new for them as a POD small press that I haven't done already on my own, in the name of Wildside.)
This has been a sad public service announcement.
