Looks like self-publishing's a no go as well.

So, just for the ducks of it, I gathered three of my not-long-enough-to-be-novels too-long-to-be-short-stories stories--The Sallow Man, The Shop and the Truesingers one--together into one two-hundred-page MS, went to lulu.com, and priced it up.

Cheapest possible option, best part of seven quid per book. No way I can make anything on top of that. No way anyone would buy it anyway.

It's nice, I suppose, to know that I was right to put them up on the site for nothing, as that seems to be the only way anyone is going to get to read them. I just hope they're being enjoyed.

Grrr, it's the damn dollar/pound parity thing still around. I've signed up for a copy of Sam Storyteller/copperbadge's Nameless, which he mentioned would cost a minimum of a little under nine dollars - so he's pricing it at (probably) $10 to start with. Trade-size paperback, and 216 pages (208 of which are text); but he said that the plain paperback version would be $6.58.

Oh, and needless to say I'd be buying it. Even if - as I said to Sam - it means a week when I simply don't eat as much.
