Status: Uploading

8/29/2013

I have officially submitted The Crimson Vault to Amazon.

It is now "in review" by Amazon staff, and should be available for sale tonight.

...assuming nothing goes wrong.

Of course, I slept not at all this past night, and now I'm off to DragonCon in Atlanta. Which means I may not really experience the con, I may just sleep all weekend.

Well, it'll be a good time either way.

EDIT: Apparently a partial page is up on Amazon here. You can buy it, but apparently details like the preview aren't fully up yet.

This is out of my control. It's in Amazon's cold, clammy hands.

Poor guy, nodded off in the middle of his blog post... and shows his complete dedication to his work and to his readers. You are too good. Enjoy yourself and a well-deserved rest!

Kind of you to upload on my day off. I have a feeling I won't get much done around the house today.

What about your UK fans? We (I can't be the only one) need our fantasy fix too!

Yeah, sorry about that, Dave. Here's what's going on:

Amazon is uploading the book piece by piece, apparently. I have no control over or input in this process. Presumably, it will be fully uploaded by tonight.

So while Amazon.com has the book available for purchase, apparently Amazon.co.uk and other domains don't have it yet.

That shouldn't happen, it's never happened before, and I have it set so that the book is supposed to come out at the same time in the UK as in the US.

But Amazon is still showing me that the book isn't out in the US either. Even though the book is CLEARLY out. I bought it myself.

Sorry about that, Dave. The best I can say is that it will be out today.

Haha, don't worry, I'm not that upset. I only picked up (and finished) House of Blades yesterday; I was delighted when I saw that the sequel would be out today.

Just trying to work out if Amazon could punish me for falsifying an American address.

Thanks for the books and for the reply!

NOT Will Wight

8/29/2013 04:04:09 am

Hypothetically speaking, Dave, they do not punish you for that.

There are those who claim that I, myself, have a UK address to purchase books that are illogically not available in the US. Like...oh, just off the top of my head....David Eddings' Belgariad series.

One might even suggest that they have no way of detecting this.

That is a truly vicious rumour. I hope nobody ever talks about me like that. Is it truly so unbelievable that I am now living in a New York hotel?

the fight of simon against taos, reminded me of the scnene from wheel of time, when rand(the dragon,ironically) goes to one of the enemy camps, and accepts a duel from a blade master :-)
in the seventh book, i think.

I wrote those comments after 28 hours with no sleep. Don't judge me.

In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.
