Wanted to add a "Beaks Bundle" to my ebookstore. It should really include the spin-off #EarthquakeKittenKiss.
That book is four years old, formatted with Jutoh, and kind of clunky compared to #ButterflyStompWaltz and #TerrapinSkyTango. Also, used wrong author name for badly thought-out reasons. So, reformat with current back matter & such, and redo cover.
Should release with my own ISBN, too.
I pulled one string. The unspooling heap was inevitable, despite my total failure to predict it.
You want more Beaks? This is how you get more Beaks.
Wherein she threatens Santa with the gift of eating through a tube and crapping in a bag for the rest of his life. Because Beaks.

No, she's not in one of the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" collections. But you knew that.
A weird thing about #butterflyStompWaltz and #terrapinSkyTango.
Male readers say "Wow, what an incredibly angry woman!"
Women say "Yeah. That's about right."
I just released #terrapinSkyTango, aka "Beaks #2." Sold a few copies.
But what of my fiction is selling right now?
#butterflyStompWaltz, Beaks #1.
But Amazon linked up all three versions of TST, so I can do the official announcement!
Tomorrow. When I'm not all
With careful layout, I got the price of the print #terrapinSkyTango down to $13.99 and #butterflystompwaltz down to $11.99.
For comparison: previous BSW print was $16.99. And who wants to spend that on a trade paperback?
Hardcovers BSW will be $24.99, TST $25.99.
The wraparound covers for #terrapinskytango and the #butterflystompwaltz reissue.
There will be slight changes for the hardcover versions, of course.

Finished the #butterflystompwaltz print review, so it's time for me to go to the store.
That's why the thunderstorm started. OBVIOUSLY.
Reviewing the PDF for the #butterflystompwaltz print re-release.
Can't keep my attention focused on the task for more than a few minutes at a time. My brain stops seeing Print Layout and goes into Writer Mode. "I could do this better... that sentence is clunky... I need to redraft this whole book..."
No, no, no.
This book has rabid fans. Look at the layout, move on.
Ran a rough layout of #butterflystompwaltz for rerelease, using 11pt text, 14pt leading. Cut size by 1/3, still readable.
People swear by Vellum's results for paperbacks, so I'm having it lay out the same file to compare results.
Can't do a final layout until #terrapinskytango is back from copyedit; want to include the first three chapters of it in the back of Butterfly.
