Spinward Fringe Broadcast 6: Fragments - Print Release

The title says it all. Just in case it doesn't, the picture says the rest. Spinward Fringe Broadcast 6: Fragments is on its way onto the Internet, and as it turns out there was a demand for a print version.

One reader spoke up, and a few others followed right behind in telling me that they don't read the series electronically, they order each volume in print. The original plan was to release a print version of the whole trilogy once it was completed, combining all three books.

That plan has changed. Broadcast 6 is almost exactly double the size of Broadcast 5, and if I waited for all three books in the Rogue Element Trilogy (Broadcasts 5, 6 and 7), to be finished, not only would I be neglecting readers who love paper, but the resulting combined book would be about 1,000 pages long in a 6"x9" edition, which is only a couple grams lighter than a hard cover of the same size.

So, for those reasons, and because Lulu has finally started cleaning up their act, I've released the print edition of this book. Here are the vitals:


This book is a long time in coming, and I'm really happy that the release is going well so far. Work on the digital version is complete for some distributors, so keep checking back here and on Smashwords.com for the eBook!
