Release day is here! Details are available in my prior blog post and on-site blurb page for the book, but Into the Gloamwood, a YA fantasy adventure novel, is now available in both e-book and paperback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org, and available in e-book only on platforms such as Apple, Kobo, and others. The Universal Book Link (UBL) below is not exhaustive, but it’ll take you to the most common vendors that I’m aware of:

Into the Gloamwood – Vendors for E-Book and Paperback

I believe Draft2Digital pushed the e-book, and possibly print, to some other distribution channels as well, so please check your favorite online book vendor.

One more time, here’s the cover image!

If you’re curious about the texturing on the image, it’s a Rebelle canvas option, meant to resemble a rough paper painting substrate. I debated between having it and not for the cover art but ultimately decided on having it.

Anyway, the book exists now! And you can buy it if you like! Hooray!

And I do mean “if you like.” If you know me and are purchasing it to support me, that’s very sweet of you, but please don’t feel obligated. The blurb page includes a link to a sneak preview of the first few chapters if you would like to sample before purchasing.

Additionally, if you feel so inclined to leave a review on Goodreads or elsewhere, please do, whether it’s just a star rating or a few words describing what you liked or didn’t like or who you think would enjoy this book. Honest reviews give other readers additional information before reaching a purchasing decision. I personally plan to avoid looking at product reviews, since I’m not their intended audience.

Note: I did my best to make the e-book accessible and release it DRM-free, so you should be able to download the E-PUB and read it on your application or e-reader of choice. On Amazon, I checked the “release DRM-free” box. I’m less familiar with Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc. and don’t know what restrictions they may apply—or that Draft2Digital may have applied when pushing the e-book out to them, since they didn’t offer that check box. If you encounter restrictions or issues with the e-book, please reach out to me directly via the Contact page on my website.

If there’s a printing error or quality issue with the paperback (beyond just “story wasn’t my cup of tea”; something like a weird miscolored edge or missing page), you can let me know about that too, and I can double check my book files. But you may want to start with the place you purchased it from, since they’re the ones printing or at least distributing the book. I did review proof copies for Into the Gloamwood partway through the publishing process to confirm the formatting looked OK to me and get an idea of how Amazon’s and Draft2Digital’s printing differed. However, I don’t have control over their print-on-demand services or distribution beyond providing the files, selecting options, and approving the proofs, so I can’t personally inspect every copy that goes out for one-off errors. (Plus, I’ve got, like… a full-time job. That isn’t this. Also a life to live.) I can, perhaps, reach out alongside you to badger the printing service, if needed.

Printing errors should be rare, and I don’t anticipate problems. But they do happen once in a blue moon with printing services, I gather, so I’m providing clarity and suggestions for who to contact up front now, just in case.

Okay, that’s all. I’m excited that this finally exists and is out in the world! I’ve ordered an author copy for myself as a memento. If you do pick up Into the Gloamwood, I hope you enjoy it. Wishing you all a nice day and favorite beverages of choice.
