...Okay, I said last year that we wouldn't be doing another of these "for the foreseeable future." What I didn't foresee was all the medical junk that's been happening to me this year, in which I keep getting to pay for all the MRIs and other exciting diagnostic things myself. :/ ("Dammit Jim, I'm an SF writer, not a prophetess...!")

Anyway, all the big-ticket things at our ebook store are reduced right now for the holiday weekend—meaning all the bundles—and the Whole Store Bundle (36 ebooks, folks!) is down to $48.99! So if you want one of those and missed earlier chances, your time has come! (And if you've already taken advantage of one of these offers, perhaps you'd reblog it anyway for the interest of others? Please & Thank You.) :)

Meanwhile, if you celebrate what the Irish call The Day That's In It, enjoy the weekend, all!

(And UK folks: once again the sad reminder: we can't sell directly to you any more. Brexit. [heavy sigh] Our apologies.)

Okay, that's it... our ebook sale's ending at last!

So after much struggle and swearing, I finally got those two malfunctioning scheduling apps at the Ebooks Direct store to stop interfering with each other. I turned the sale off and it actually turned off! (By which I mean it accepted new shutdown-time instructions, which it'd more or less inexplicably been refusing to do for the guts of two weeks.)

This being the case—for anyone who's idly considering taking advantage of one of the "Get Our Whole Store For $44" deals: this is your absolutely for-real last call. The current settings—reflected in the countdown clock on the sale page—will kill the discounted sale price early on Monday morning Irish time*. After that, that's the end of the whole-store discount sales for the foreseeable future.

So: want 36 DRM-free ebooks for a bargain price? Follow this link to the former Labor Day sale page (which was the one that was refusing to be turned off) and go get 'em!

...And for all those who've already participated: our heartfelt thanks. :)

(Meanwhile, here's Mrs. Doyle again. I'm going to miss her when this is over...)

*Around midnight Pacific time, that is.

At Ebooks Direct...

The current sale has been extended to August 31st. Yay!

This is because the "Whole (Ebooks Direct) Store For $44" offer's being made available elsewhere online at the moment. But, frankly, if you feel like ducking in from the Tumblresque end of things to pick up the DRM-free 36-book package, the store won't try to talk you out of it. It's much too well-mannered for that. :)

So feel free to drop in and take advantage of us by grabbing the "Get The Whole Store Deal" bundle at a truly ridiculous price!*

(And would you perhaps consider reblogging this for others who might be interested? Thanks very much.) :)

*That's sort of $1.22 per book. (Or a really long repeating decimal version of $1.22, if you get out the calculator...)

A middle of the night bump...

The "Whole Store For $44" sale's still running

We're offering the Whole (Ebooks Direct) Store For $44 elsewhere oniine at the moment, but the store won't care where you're coming from if you want to duck in there and pick up the bundle. :)

The "Get The Deal" page is over here. So feel free!

Meanwhile, here's a portion of John Millington Synge's play "The Playboy of the Western World" silkscreened onto the wall of a bar in Dublin Airport. (Because gods forbid you should be without something to read...) :)

At Diane Duane's Ebooks Direct store: it's a "Get Our Whole Store For $44" Sale, Birthday Edition!

Because it's my birthday and I'll give away ebooks if I want to! :)

Some of you have seen these sales before. Some have wanted to pick up the full-store package but haven't been able to, for one reason or another. Well, now's your chance!

First of all: for 72 hours*, we're reinstating the "Get Our Whole Store For $44 Sale"! That's 35 of DD's ebooks (Peter's are still with another e-publisher, sorry, we're working on that...), all DRM-free and with free replacements included in the price if they're lost or you change platforms. The package on offer includes the 9-book set of Young Wizards New Millennium Editions and the LGBTQ-centered Middle Kingdoms books, along with much more fantasy and SF.

Just click here to put the whole-store package in your shopping basket and grab yourself a bargain! ...This link has the extra discount baked into it. Though the product page shows its normal discount price of $55 when you arrive, using that link will cause the store to display the correct $44 price when you've gone through all the checkout steps before payment, and the full discount's been applied. (This page over at Ebooks Direct has a slightly more detailed walkthrough of the process.)

And there's more! As part of the local birthday celebrations—and because I get a fair amount of glee out of doing this—with every ten orders that come in, we'll refund one of them immediately, so that the purchaser effectively gets their books for free. (We do a random-number "coin toss" to choose each sales-tranche's winner.) PayPal purchasers will be refunded within an hour or so of their winning a refund. It'll take longer for credit card users, unfortunately, but we'll email you to let you know you're a winner, and send you a digital copy of your refund order from our credit card processor, Stripe.

So please accept a my-birthday present from me—either as the reduced price of the Give Me Everything You've Got package, or as free book(s). And thanks for being my mutuals and followers here! You folks make the time I spend here so much fun, and I look forward to lots more of it.... while assisting in representing the many other Tumblr users who're proudly Old As Dirt. :)

Meanwhile, if you're not interested in the offer, would you consider reblogging it so that others in your timeline can have a look? Thanks! (And one final note: due to Brexit, unfortunately this offer isn't valid in the UK. Details about the situation are here. Our apologies for the inconvenience.)\

...And now I need to think about what kind of cake to bake. Thanks, everybody!

*Or just a little longer. The sale officially ends at 23:59:59 UT on May 18, 2023—that's JD 2460083.49999, for the Young Wizards readers. (Though routinely we let these sales run a little longer, because there's always somebody who turns up an hour late, and I hate for anybody to be disappointed...)

ETA: So that was just our evening's first refund/batch of free books (via PayPal). Congrats to order #30712!

...Bumping this for the North American early evening crowd...

…The morning bump. (stumbles off to get tea)

ETA: Just did another refund for the lucky winner of the roll of the dice on the next tranche of 10 sales. Congrats to order #30725! :)

The late afternoon/evening bump for the North American folks… 😀

THEY’RE HERE! Oooomg guys, I’m SO stoked with how these guys turned out!

2 years ago, I made a coloring book compilation of my 2017 DnD Character Themed Inktobers! 

This year I did one for my DnD Monster Inktobers! I LOVE how these guys turned out! They are absolutely available for sale on my Etsy now! 

If you’ve ever wanted to buy work from me, now is a VERY good time as all of my conventions for this season have been cancelled! Purchasing through my etsy is the main way I’m making a living atm and it helps a lot! 

20% off sale on my coloring books this week! So if you want a booklet of 31 DnD monsters, check it out! (I’ve had a few DMs get sets of them for their players, which is SO cute!)

WTF… it’s The Day That’s In It and we may as well get this over with. :)

For 24 hours (…or no, let’s tell the truth: actually until local midnight on the 30th, because what’s the rush? – and also, there’s always somebody finding out about this kind of thing a bit late…), get our whole DRM-free Ebooks Direct ebook store (35 novels and short works!) for USD $44! The info’s right here:

https://bit.ly/WholeStore44ForCyberMonday

(…And then I can sit back and stop worrying about the fecking Marketing Season, and get back to writing and cooking.) 

(…Actually, I tell a lie. My true intention for “after I finish work today” is to activate one of these lovely gifts I’ve been sent and completely flood my screen with crabs. And then screencap the results and post the video. …So as soon as this post achieves (picks a random number) 250 reblogs, I’ll do that.

(So go forth, y’all, and act accordingly.) :) 

…The pre-bedtime bump.

The “I just became conscious but haven’t had any tea yet” bump. :) 

The “Just Another 100 Reblogs And We Get To Invoke CRAB OVERFLOW THREAT Status” bump. “)

The “Gettng Ready To Go To Bed As Soon As I Finish This Glass Of Wine And Come To Some Kind Of Realistic Estimate As To How Much Longer This File Transfer Into The New Computer Is Going `to Take” Bump

(yawn)

The afternoon “Only 25 More Reblogs Until CRABMAS” bump…

Hey everybody...!

We’re doing this one-day ridiculously-cheap ebooks thing again today. (Officially it’s for the Twitter crowd, but don’t imagine I’d ever leave my Tumblr folk out if they want some of this action.) :)

If you’ve missed out on the offer before, now’s your chance. TBR pile getting low? We can sort that right out. (And seriously, $44 isn’t a bad deal for 35 books…)  So click here and take advantage of us. We’re not proud. :) …And if you like, reblog this for others who might be interested.

…I’ll bump this post once or twice today just to remind people it’s running. Meanwhile, there’s twenty kilos of apples in the kitchen and I’ve got to go do something about them before they come after me…)

(BTW, there’s an actual stopwatch on the sale page to make it simpler for everybody to know when the sale ends. Tried installing it here, but it won’t work, unfortunately. So just FYI: sale ends at 1 PM Irish time on the 22nd [0800 EDT / 0500 PDT / 0200 Hawai’ian].)

…Meanwhile, lookit, here’s @petermorwood​ using the new apple peeler!

(yawn) Awake again. Bumping, as the sale’s got just four hours to go. …Need tea. ☕️

It’s time for a sporadic reminder:  everything in the Ebooks.Direct store’s 50% off (because COVID-19) “till things get better.” And (as some of you may have noticed) we’re nowhere in the clear just yet.

Come on over and have a look at the inventory! Not just because there might be some things you’ve missed out on previously, or you feel the need for a little comfort reading at the moment… but also because we’re having a local bare patch right now, and if you’ve been waiting for a good moment to buy stuff, this would be it.

So come take advantage of us, OK? Please & thank you!

Because being Banned In Texas has apparently driven me around the bend...

…this sale on the 9-volume Young Wizards New Millennium Editions box set is being extended.

Half price for the nine books. Don’t ask me for how long: plainly I’m not responsible for my actions this week. :)
