Hey guess what!

Apparently, a "Feb 11" release date with KDP means "It's Feb 11 SOMEWHERE."

Which means NAMELESS is OUT!!! Available on DRM-Free ebook, paperback, and hardcover!!

Nobody survives winter alone!

From the back:

It was supposed to be a nothing job.

Identify a body that’d been reduced to its component elements by a swarm of nanites, get a paycheck. Satya Hassan didn’t have to like the cops to like paying rent, and with more than half of the country out of work, well, a gig is a gig.

Only now, she and Dan Landvik, a detective just promoted to homicide, are trapped on all sides by amoral megacorps, an uncaring government, and a mass-murderer that the Minneapolis Police Department doesn’t dare
to touch.

Betrayed by the people they thought they could rely on, facing an enemy they can’t pin down, and without even the name of a victim to go on, Dan and Satya will have to do more than uncover a conspiracy—they’ll have to face their own lifetimes of queer trauma, make allies out of enemies, and maybe even change the world along the way.

Or, at least, save a small cat with a prosthetic leg.

The recommendations that I get connected to Nameless are Martha Wells and Charles Stross. Good Company! 🙂👍
@theVedek I'm so flattered by the Martha Wells comparison. Absolutely blown away.
@Impossible_PhD I cannot buy it yet though. Hope I can tomorrow.
@theVedek that's so weird! I was able to order a copy for myself!
@Impossible_PhD but I am not in the U.S. 🙃
I am fairly certain I can get it soon.
@Impossible_PhD @theVedek
I am amused that you didn't respond to the other comparison 
@kirtai @theVedek I haven't read Charles Stross, so I don't know what to make of it.
@Impossible_PhD @theVedek
He's an excellent scifi/horror writer.
@kirtai @theVedek That's probably why; Horror aint my genre.
@Impossible_PhD @kirtai @theVedek He's on Fedi and participates in a lot of conversations.
@Impossible_PhD it's not the 11th in Seattle yet! I can't download!
@Impossible_PhD It's now apparently "close enough"! Diving in!
@TonyaMarie Yay!! I hope you love it!!
@Impossible_PhD
Is there any chance of getting an Epub from somewhere that isn't Amazon? I try to avoid that monstrosity as much as possible... I'm in Canada, if it makes any difference.

@jaddle I'm hoping to spin up an Itch in 3-6 months, when I have breathing room to do it--I really only had enough time to do one storefront right now, in the middle of a wildly busy semester. I have to wait a bit first, because I opted into Kindle Unlimited for release, and that calls for exclusivity in 3 month chunks.

I understand hating Amazon, and I do too, but with IngramSpark pulling the fees BS they've been up to lately, they're the only game in town if you want hardcopy books. I can't take on the risk of a four-digit chargeback from IS right now.

@Impossible_PhD Are you selling somewhere other than Amazon?

@DarkAthena not yet. There's a buncha inside baseball with licensing (that I can change later), but the short version is IngramSpark is dangerous for new authors like me because of their terms, so instead opted to debut with Kindle Unlimited opted into, which means I can't sell the epub elsewhere for 3 months.

The plan is to spin up an Itch to sell it in a bit.
