World Enough and Time

Santa sleighs back into print!

I'm pleased to announce that Deadite Press has just brought out a new trade paperback edition of SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE HOMOPHOBES.

This is a stand-alone sequel to SANTA STEPS OUT, which has likewise been republished, with the original Alan M. Clark illustrations from the Dark Highway Press limited edition, Pat LoBrutto's intro restored (Leisure Books dropped it), and a second afterword by yours truly, catching you up on the fortunes of this novel since its first publication fourteen years ago.

Enjoy!

A few musings on the occasion of WALKING WOUNDED's reissue

Eraserhead Press maintains an active website for bizarro related thoughts of all kinds.

On the occasion of a new edition of WALKING WOUNDED from Deadite Press, an imprint of Eraserhead, I've posted a few thoughts here:

Enjoy!

 

WALKING WOUNDED back in print from Deadite Press

My second novel from Dell Abyss, WALKING WOUNDED (1996), long out of print, is now once more among the living.

Trade paperback from Deadite Press, with an Alan Clark cover.

A few blurbs:

“At the heart of all Devereaux’s writing are the twin embryos of love and pain. In *Walking Wounded* he has explored their perverse dependency with an expert’s tender touch. This book is both a challenge and a rare treat!”  —Poppy Z. Brite

 “In *Walking Wounded*, Robert Devereaux delivers, with a super-heated mix of murder, dark eroticism, and enough online sex to send computer-wise readers sprinting to access their Chat Rooms.”  —Lucy Taylor

 “Walking Wounded is the graphic equivalent—and moral and spiritual antithesis—of Devereaux’s already classic Deadweight. Appalling, tender, and lyrical, it is an applaudable sophomore effort from a fascinating writer.”  —Jason Bovberg, Dark Highway Press

 “Walking Wounded is an original and dramatic thriller. Devereaux’s characters emerge as real and complex people, men and woman confronting life and death dilemmas. It’s a story of healing and suffering, and when a sadistic serial killer shatters the peace, it’s a story of immense courage and resolve. . . . Walking Wounded bristles with energy and suspense.”  —Mark La Framboise, Politics & Prose Bookstore

 

Kindle price for SANTA novels reduced to $2.99 until Christmas

[UPDATE: I've reverted the prices to $4.99 as of October 10th. Still a bargain!]

This coming November and December, Eraserhead Press will bring out SANTA STEPS OUT and SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE HOMOPHOBES in new trade editions, along with the as-yet-untitled third Santa Claus novel.

From now until then, I have lowered the Kindle price of each book to $2.99.

As I understand it, Eraserhead will issue its own eBook versions (Kindle, Nook, etc.), at which time I'll withdraw these current Kindle editions from publication. So now's your chance to get them at $2.99. Eraserhead will control the pricing after that point.

Cheers!

Kindle, the elusive TOC trick for html source...

I finally found what I needed to make TOC work in a single html file.

Once I propagate this to my kindle books, the Table of Contents button will no longer be grayed out!

The essence:

<!-- TABLE OF CONTENTS -->
<mbp:pagebreak />
<guide>
<reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="#toc"></reference>
</guide>

<a name="toc"/><h2>Contents</h2>
<blockquote><a href="#chap1">1. Beginnings</a></blockquote>
<blockquote><a href="#chap2">2. Zombie Mashup</a></blockquote>

and so on...

<!-- CHAP ONE STARTS HERE -->
<mbp:pagebreak />
<a name="chap1"/><h2>1. Beginnings</h2>

and so on...

Enjoy, live long, and prosper,

Robert

Marketing Your Literary Novel

Found a very interesting blog entry called "MARKETING YOUR LITERARY NOVEL THROUGH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING" by Christopher Meeks.

Experimenting with Typepad to Facebook

I spend more time on Facebook than I do on my own blog.

Today, I'll see if I can share blog postings with my account on Facebook.

If a success, expect more substantive content here soon!
