More site updates and reminder re: buying Faerie Blood and short story
| January 8, 2012 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood, Housekeeping, Short Pieces |
I’ve done a bit more tweaking of the site layout and content tonight, trying to make the main page a bit less busy, but also still visually interesting. So I’m experimenting with the post layout–let me know if you think the columns work.
I’ve also removed a few of the sidebar widgets. The Links/Blogroll widget has been turned into an actual Links page, since I had enough links that I thought they might as well have their own page. I’ve also created menu items for my Facebook and Twitter accounts under the “Contact” menu to give those higher visibility, and I’ve provided a link off to my annathepiper.org blog for those of you who might care to follow that. (I’m a lot more prolific on that blog than I am on this one, which remains writing-related!)
Meanwhile, I’ve updated the FAQ, Faerie Blood, and Defiance pages to reflect the status of my former Drollerie works. Since I’ve seen a few folks on Goodreads have continued to add me to their To Read lists (hi, Goodreads folks!), I just thought I’d issue a reminder: Faerie Blood and Defiance are to my knowledge no longer for sale with any ebook vendor. (If they are, and you can point me at a link, let me know! Drollerie needs to take any further instances of the book down if they’re out there.)
But if you haven’t read the book or the short story and you want to, I’ll be happy to hand-sell a copy to you. For Faerie Blood, I’m asking five dollars for an EPUB or PDF copy (and I’ll convert it to other formats on request). For “The Blood of the Land”, I’m asking 99 cents. The best way to pay me for either will be via Paypal to my gmail address, annathepiper. If you’d like to discuss alternate payment arrangements, drop me an email to the same gmail address, or visit my Contact page.
These prices will stand until my plans to self-publish Faerie Blood and Bone Walker go through, as per my previous Kickstarter post. Anyone who’d like to go ahead and buy Faerie Blood now will receive the Drollerie release copy, though I will also provide updated copies to known purchasers of the book once the self-pubbed version is ready.
Note also that I am pursuing self-pubbing “The Blood of the Land” with new cover art and layout; what you’ll get now if you want to go ahead and buy it is my manuscript copy. Again, though, if you buy the story now, I will keep track of you and provide you a free copy of the self-pubbed copy later!
As always, thanks for your support, folks. Y’all on Goodreads, hope you’ll like my book!
Cyber Monday Faerie Blood
| November 28, 2011 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood, Short Pieces |

Since Faerie Blood is no longer officially for sale anywhere (and what few places it’s remaining I’m not likely to see any money from), I wanted to remind y’all that if you haven’t read the book and you want to, I’ll be happy to direct-sell it to you!
And since it’s Cyber Monday, let’s make this easy!
I have three CDs left from my previous stock. These include both a PDF and an ePUB copy of Faerie Blood, and along with it, a PDF of my short story “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen”. If you’d like one of these, five bucks to all comers, including the cost of shipping it to you if you’re not local to me.
ETA: All three CDs have now been spoken for. However, if you’d still like a CD copy of Faerie Blood vs. one just emailed to you, talk to me and we can work something out!
If you’d like to just buy a copy of Faerie Blood directly from me, let’s call that four bucks, and you should specify if you want a PDF or an ePUB copy.
If you’d like a copy of my short story “The Blood of the Land”, previously published in the anthology Defiance, you can have that for .99. Again, please specify your desired format.
And I’ll give you Faerie Blood and “The Blood of the Land” both for an even five bucks.
The best way to pay me would be via PayPal, addressed to my gmail address annathepiper. If you want one of the CDs, you should also email me directly at the same address with an appropriate address to send the CD to you!
I will keep these prices valid not only through today, but also through the rest of the holiday season. Please feel free to spread a link to this post around as well if you so desire!
Hello Norwescon!
| April 22, 2011 | Posted by annathepiper under About Me, Faerie Blood |

Taking a moment to put up a post before having dinner, just to say that I’ve left assorted business cards on the freebie table and the flyer rack here at Norwescon. If anybody happens to pick one up and comes by this site to visit, hello and welcome, and I hope your convention is being awesome so far!
If you HAVE come by because of Norwescon and you’re interested in buying my book, arrange to find me before EOD on Sunday and I’ll sell you one of my small number of Faerie Blood CDs. That will get you an ePub AND a PDF of the book, both DRM-free, along with a free short story, “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen”. I’m offering Norwescon attendees a special price of $5 per disk!
So say hi if you are at the con and you see this, and tell me how your con is going! Better yet, find me and do it in person. 
Raising money for Japan relief efforts
| March 14, 2011 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood, Short Pieces |
Okay, folks, here’s the deal:
Like most of the rest of the world, my heart aches for what’s going on in Japan. As an American there’s not much I can do from here–but what I can do is donate my money, which I have already done. But as a writer, I can also donate what tiny profits I get from my labors. And I’d really like to do this. So here’s a few things I’m going to do.
One: I have six, count ‘em, six Lightscribe CDs left over of the discs I made of Faerie Blood, with the additional free story “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen”, back in the fall of last year. Same price as before ($8 to local persons, $10 if I need to mail the disc to you), but I will donate 100 percent of that price to Doctors Without Borders so that they can do what they need to do.
I have four of these left in green cases and two in yellow. First come first serve. If more than six people are interested, I will burn more copies of the same disc and offer you your choice of case color.
Two: If at least twenty people are interested, I will do a commissioned short story in the Faerie Blood universe, 8-10 thousand words, and it will star Kendis’ kitsune housemate Jake, who is Japanese-American. It will likely feature his meeting and romance of his future partner Carson.
As with the CDs, I will donate 100 percent of any money raised to Doctors Without Borders. I won’t set a hard price; let’s call this a Pay What You Think It’s Worth effort. If people would like to buy in on this, I’m going to set a deadline of letting me know to be two weeks from today, March 28th. And I will commit to delivering the story by the end of April.
If you want to work with me on either option One or option Two, I can take Paypal at my pro gmail address, angela.korrati. If you’re not Paypal-enabled, talk to me offline and we can talk about arrangements to send a check or money order and a proper receipt in exchange by snailmail.
If neither of these options appeal, I wholeheartedly encourage you to please, please, PLEASE find a charity of your choice and donate what you can to those relief efforts. And if you would, please consider spreading the word of these two offers through whatever channels you have at your disposal. Thanks all.

New ways to buy Faerie Blood
| December 15, 2010 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood |
For those of you who aren’t aware yet, Google has finally launched its own ebook store. I mention this not only because it’s a new way to buy Faerie Blood, but also because indie bookstores are leaping on this as a way for them to easily sell ebooks on their own sites.
Which I have to admit is awesome. I do love me some indie bookstores, but I also love me some ebooks, and an easy way to let indie booksellers in on the ebook fun strikes me as a good thing. Say what you will about Google.
In particular, I note that Third Place Books, my local indie bookstore of choice, now has Google ebooks set up on their site. So you can buy my book from them. Ditto for the Holy of Holies, Powells, who have a Google ebooks link up for my book over here.
I shall be updating FB’s page to include these new links. Note, my personal recommendation remains buying directly from my publisher, which guarantees me the best share of the sales and also just generally supports Drollerie. (ETA: Not to mention that it’s the best option for non-US customers.) But! If you want to slant in favor of supporting your favorite indie bookstore, by all means, I’m for that too. Basically, if you buy my book at all, I’m thrilled and will not mind at all where you choose to shop.
Thanks as always for your support!

Eight Faerie Blood CDs available
| September 17, 2010 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood |
I have eight of the Lightscribe CDs of Faerie Blood left over from my August 21st reading. If any of you all out there might be interested in taking them off my hands, please let me know!
On the CD you’ll find both the epub AND pdf versions of the book, along with a short Readme file telling you how to read either one and which you should use depending on your needs. There’s also a pdf copy of my short story “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen”, included as a bonus.
The discs themselves are Lightscribe CDs and show Kendis’ face, a small bit taken from the book’s cover art. I will include a color printed insert and sign that upon request! (Or I will sign the disc itself.) The jewel cases the discs are currently in are either green or yellow, to match the cover art. I have more green available than yellow but will also swap out to red, blue, or purple on request as I have several spare cases in those colors.
If you’re local to me and I can hand-deliver you the disc and its jewel case, the price is eight dollars. If you’re not local, the price is ten dollars, to include the price of postage.
For payment, if you’re interested, please send the specified amount to my gmail address, annathepiper, via Paypal. Or talk to me in private about alternate payment methods, as well as arrangements to get you the disc.
I have no immediate plans to make more of these CDs, so get them while supplies last!
Faerie Blood once again super-cheap on Fictionwise
| November 25, 2009 | Posted by annathepiper under Faerie Blood |

I’d be remiss if I didn’t invite you folks to pop over to Fictionwise and partake of their shiny Black Friday sale, going on all week, in which all MultiFormat books are 45% off and all Secure format books get you a 45% Micropay rebate. This means, ladies and gentlemen, that until Friday you can score a copy of Faerie Blood for $3.82 if you’re not a member of the BuyWise club, and $3.25 if you are!
And of course all other Drollerie works in the Fictionwise database are included in this same sale, so this would be a lovely time to get not only my book but choice selections by my fellow Drollerie authors as well. Our latest releases, including the Defiance anthology, aren’t up there yet–but you can score a bunch of our earlier stuff. Go check it out, folks!

It seems that Fictionwise is having themselves an Indie publisher sale this week. All MultiFormat (read: DRM-free and downloadable in any format you want) books are 30 percent off!
And since Drollerie is a MultiFormat publisher on Fictionwise, that means, ladies and gents, that you could pick up Faerie Blood from that site for a cool $4.14.
If you pick it up TODAY, there’s even a coupon that runs until tomorrow, FANTASYNOW, which will knock 25 percent off any Fantasy novels! So you could get a total of 55 percent off of Faerie Blood that way!
Sharing this because, y’know, I care.
