What RED PETAL PRESS is working on
Our mission is to fully embrace both traditional print and the new methods of information and entertainment delivery. We are always updating our coding knowledge and skillsets to stay current with book technologies.
KINDLE AND eBOOK FILES
To increase our exposure in major eBook marketplaces, in addition to having agreements with Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble, we also use Smashwords.com, an eBook aggregator, to distribute our eBooks to Apple's iBookstore, Sony.com, KoboBooks.com, Diesel.com and others, in multiple formats. Google books is our next media outlet.
We can now reliably produce high-quality for eBooks that pass Open Book Standard version 1.0.5, necessary to use with Apple's iPad. I am delighted to report success in learning the appropriate coding styles and conversion tools. The eBook formats for Honorable Assassin, Killer To Die For, and Fallen Star are available for sale on the Order Books Today page and most major eBook retailers.>/p>
AUDIO FILES
Honorable Assassin is recorded and post-processed. It's amazing how labor-intensive narration is. I'm working on getting the audiobook into Apple's iTunes. Also I'll have it available soon here in the following forms (for a next-to-free price):
- MP3 CD (2 discs)
- MP3 DVD (1 disc)
- Audio CD (9 discs)
- Possibly as a single file download, but it's a huge file, so our webmaster may have to work on that some more.
ETC . . .
RED PETAL PRESS is still hard at work.
The Case Of The Persian Plague, Book Four of the MacMaster Chronicles, my personal favorite so far in the series, is done and paperback copies are on their way from the printer. Check out our blog for a pre-publishing review by a guest blogger.
Many thanks to Art from WindWorks Design for doing the great lighting for the photo shoot of the cover of Fallen Star. We are very pleased with the results.
