During the ebook expansion process, as I was setting things up for Kobo, Nook, and iBooks, I looked into Google Books. Their sign ups were closed and you had to apply to get in, with no indicator of when it would open again. So I forgot about it as I moved to the other platforms.

Right after the Kobo, Nook, and iBook editions went live, I got an email acceptance letter from Google. To answer your immediate question, yes, that’s a really cool email to get. Feels good, man.

So The Darkest Winter is on every platform I wanted. The availability is now pretty crazy, so let everyone know about it! The “work” on this novel is now complete and now I’m doing small burst promotions (riding those Game of Thrones coat tails on Instagram) and gearing up for my library appearance in June.

And just for the record, Apple iBooks was the most annoying platform to get on due to stupid software.

Now I can focus on new material which is long over due.
