Some of you have seen these already, but I have released print versions of my Bigtime superhero paranormal romance books through Amazon’s CreateSpace.

Huzzah! I know that many folks still prefer print books, and I thought it would be cool to make the Bigtime books available in print versions as well. Also, with these books, that means that Nightingale, Bigtime book #4, is finally available in a print version as well.

These books feature the new covers that are on the Bigtime e-books, and they are really nice, trade paperback books. Kim at Hot Damn Designs designed the covers, while Amy with Author EMS did the text formatting. Amy also helped me update the e-books and put together the Bigtime Series e-bundle.

TRADE PAPERBACK PRICES

The list price for the print version of Karma Girl is $14.99 on Amazon. Note that this book also includes the holiday story A Karma Girl Christmas.

The list prices for the print versions of Hot Mama, Jinx, and Nightingale are $13.99 each on Amazon.

Since these are trade paperback books, they are more expensive than your usual $7.99 mass market books. Amazon requires you to set a minimum price, based on how many pages your book is, which factors in to how much it costs to print/produce.

But, on the bright side, Amazon also usually discounts the trade paperbacks at least a dollar or two.

Also, all of the books — Karma Girl, Hot Mama, Jinx, and Nightingale — are enrolled in the Kindle MatchBook program. That means that if you buy one of the trade paperbacks, that you can also download the Kindle e-book for that particular book for 99 cents if you want both a print and digital version.

BIGTIME E-BUNDLE STILL AVAILABLE

Also, the Bigtime Series e-bundle is still available. It includes all the works in my Bigtime series to date — the books Karma Girl, Hot Mama, Jinx, and Nightingale and the holiday story A Karma Girl Christmas.

The e-bundle was on sale for 99 cents, but that promotion has ended, and the price is now $9.99, which is still cheaper than buying all the e-books separately. I may put the e-bundle back on sale at some point, but it probably won’t be until much later in the year, perhaps during the holiday season.

Of course, you can also still buy all the titles as separate e-books if you are missing a few in your collection: Karma Girl, Hot Mama, Jinx, A Karma Girl Christmas, and Nightingale.

THE FUTURE OF THE BIGTIME SERIES

A lot of folks have asked me about my Bigtime series, and I am hoping to write and publish more in my Bigtime series. But, since I am self-publishing this series now, it takes quite a bit of time not only to write a book/story, but also to get the editing, cover, and formatting done.

Also, I am working on two more Elemental Assassin books this year — Poison Promise, out on July 22, and Book #12, tentatively set to be published in December. I’m also thinking about some ideas for some new series, both for adult and young adult books.

So my writing schedule is already pretty full for 2014, but I’m hoping to at least get started on a new Bigtime book or e-novella this year. We’ll see what happens.

Anyway, hope that everyone enjoys the new print versions and the e-bundle. Happy reading!
