“By the Stars” is back in print!
This is the first part of my novella space opera trilogy that went out-of-print after the publisher went under.
It won 3rd place in the Bards and Sages annual story competition and I’m so happy to share her with everyone once again.
New and improved with a solid re-edit, this story is a wild ride to a new planet and a new life for humanity and the aliens who come to rescue us.
A few years ago I wrote a space opera novella trilogy.
It had a lot of heart but was unpolished and did not sell as well as they publisher and I hoped. The publisher went under. The book is out-of-print.
It is not my best work and now it’s going for hundreds of dollars.
This is both a success story and a shame
I am flattered that anyone would think this book is worthy of such a high price-tag, but ashamed that anyone would exploit my work and my readers so.
Please please please please, don’t any of you EVER spend this much money on a single work of mine.
I was raised poor.
Though I’m making ends meet, writers work for peanuts and I work a lot to balance my budget.
I can never condone price-gouging. This book meant so much to me. I would rather it be given to loving readers for free than be sold for these rates.
