Lost Tribes on Kindle and in Epub

The fifth book of the Dire Planet series, featuring lost astronaut Garvey Dire, is now available for Kindle at Amazon and for Epub readers at Barnes and Noble.  At 120,000 plus words, this is the longest of the Dire Planet books (or any of my books for that matter) yet published.  The length of the novel (approximately 360 pages) means the hard copy will be a bit more expensive ($15.95) than previous Dire Planet books.  However, the digital copies are just $3.99 and Pulp Work Press will be running an introductory sale on the hard copy once it is released.  Stay tuned for more information on that.

Other than the obvious differences between a physical and digital copy, the one thing that the hard copy includes that the digital copy does not is the extensive footnotes (one hundred of them) which delve into the mythology,history, etymology, and customs of the Martian tribes.  The footnotes are not necessary in order to comprehend or enjoy the novel, but some readers have mentioned that they quite like the deeper background that the footnotes provide.
