The Complications of T, now available in paperback

T-200x300

A few days ago, I finished up the formatting for a paperback edition of The Complications of T - I'd received a few emails/PMs asking about whether or not it would ever be in print - and it is now available at Amazon or CreateSpace :) It's not very big, but it makes for a very pretty little book. I had this blog post in draft, planning on posting it next week, but then I received this a few minutes ago and thought I would share it with you now:

"Hello Mr. Deckard, I wanted to write to you to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for writing this book. I just finished it and tho I wanted it to last much longer, like what happened when they met up again and what happened to Stuart's career? I really loved it. I'm F2M who has struggled with the obsesson of "passing" for over ten years now. But you know what is better than passing? Its realizing that its just a construct of society putting strict values one being a man or woman. I think that you perfectly captured what took me so long to accept and wrote it beautifully. Tim's story could be my story, I see myself in him so much (tho I think he's probably much more handsome!)

So thank you! There needs to be more stories like this! You're right. You shouldn't overthink it and I think that attitudes will change and be more accepting over time. But I have two questions so here: why is there no paper back version and can I get one signed if there is? Two: will you write about Tim and Stuart again?"

I sent back an email with my response and the gist is: Yes, there is now a paperback version (and anyone who ever wants to get a signed copy of something simply needs only send me an email or message).

And... yes, Tim and Stuart are going to be back in book 4 of The Actor's Circle, slotted for mid-to-late 2016.

Baal’s Heart Trilogy – now exclusive to Amazon and available with Kindle Unlimited

Just for fun, I've taken Caged, Sacrificed, and Fated off the digital shelves everywhere but Amazon and signed them up for KDP Select—that means, starting today (Dec 01), you can read them with your subscription to Kindle Unlimited. Why? Just curious to see how they will do there. 

Yes, you can still purchase them outright from Amazon and the paperbacks are available at other places, as well as Amazon. I'll regroup after the 90 days are up and see if exclusivity is worth it. :)

Better the Devil You Know – Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I know I've probably said it already at least once. Probably more. But... I was not expecting the reception I've gotten for Devil. I've received more fan mail for this book than any other. I'm floored. Completely.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has shared my blog posts, the buy links, left reviews, recommended it. Really amazing. I am truly thankful for all you wonderful folks! <3

Questions about Better the Devil You Know

Since I've received numerous emails over the weekend about Devil, I thought I'd lay out the answers here :)

Q: Why is there a paperback but no ebook on Amazon?

A: Two different review processes. Paperbacks go through Createspace and they don't seem to scan for content, only technical specs. Once Devil was accepted in paperback, I figured I'd try for the ebook too - originally I wasn't going to bother because I didn't think it would pass review. I was right. The file was rejected because it violates their submission guidelines.

Q: I thought Smashwords accepted everything. Why is Devil banned there?

A: After some email exchanges with the Smashwords team, it was decided that it violates their guidelines. Their exact wording was: 

"We have been reviewing your book in greater detail, and the decision was that it is not a good fit for us. It will remain unpublished on Smashwords."

Why? Too murdery.

Q: So where can I get it?

A: See this post for all the links :)

 

A huge thanks to everyone who've been sharing links/recommended Devil! Much appreciated :) I'm very happy that it's getting to readers!

High Praise for Better the Devil You Know!

Guys. I'm really proud of this one. Pardon me while I pat myself on the back a little, k?

From the first delicious, malignant details that set the stage, through the pas de deux of parry and riposte, to the grande finale, Better the Devil You Know will have you by the short and curlies and will leave you in awe. - ★★★★★ ggr-reviews.com

 

This is one of the darkest books I've ever read. Parts of it were so disturbing that I don't even know how to convey the depravity. It is absolutely not for many, but for a certain audience, it is perfection. Better the Devil You Know is horrific, smart and beyond rare. - ★★★★½ Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents

 

A wonderful piece of writing from a master of words. Dark, twisted, fucked up - and oh so bloody clever. [...] This is clever, pulls no punches and hurts real good. [...] The characterization of Byron is brilliant in its monstrosity. - ★★★★★ x3 Boy Meets Boy Reviews

 

What I’ve been waiting for is a novel that would engage and repulse, all at the same time, and Bey Deckard has delivered in a big way with Better the Devil You Know, a perfectly twisted tale that looks at evil through the eyes of a serial killer... - ★★★★★ The Novel Approach

 

Mr. Deckard is a very clever and gifted storyteller who can write a fantastic tale that takes the reader to hell and back. Enjoy the ride! - ★★★★★ KathyMac Reviews

 

Buy it here

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
