Well. This is interesting. I just looked through my records to get an idea of how many copies of Rita 1 and 2 to stick in my suitcase for SPX.

ECCC 2014: 20/ na (R2 wasn’t printed yet)
RCCC 2014: 12/7 (5 bundles)
APE 2014: 11/6 (6 bundles)
Sasquan: 12/12 (8 bundles)
ECCC 2015: 13/14 (9 bundles)

And that tells me two things. One, that at most cons I

Relatedly, are digital editions available? I'd love to lay my paws on Decrypting Rita when money's in evidence once more, which might be in the coming weeks (why yes, it is a touch absurd I still don't know where in the world I'll be next month, and by the same token, whether finances will be pancaking on the ground, or drifting happily upwards). The Store link on your site suggested paper-only.

In any event, it's certainly good to see sales apparently being sustained.

Right now the only way to get them is via a Kickstarter (book 3 happening soon) or by supporting my Patreon; both of those get you access to... You know what, fuck it. http://egypt.urnash.com/rita/ebooks has them. PayPal whatever feels right to egypt@urnash.com.

Someday I should get it into Comixology. In my copious free time.

O.O

I'm.. well, I hadn't expected anything like that. ^_^:

I have downloaded both, but I feel so awkward, as it could be next month, or next year before I can properly pay you directly. (It's a long story, and I'm not sure I quite understand it myself. I've not had a job search of this kind before. As is, it's looking quite likely I'll finally be able to return to the Bay in October or so)

I will repay you appropriately. If it needs to be soon, I'll arrange something.

Thank you. ^_^

Don't worry too much about giving me any money for those. Have a look at the fine print on the pages with the publishing info for each book; I basically take the attitude that digital files will circulate, and that this is an important part of gaining new fans. One person talking it up and maybe spreading it to several new people, some of whom decide to back my next Kickstarter or my Patreon, is worth a lot more to me than a handful of dollars.

And good luck with the job hunt. Job hunts are kind of hell.
