CoyoteCon is over for 2010. If you didn’t get to join us, I hope you’ll consider joining us next year. I think I can safely say it was a huge success, with sessions on everything from accurate research to “Writing to Scare the Reader”. The main computer is still dead. What ought to have been [...]
Well, that took a little longer than expected (14 hours!), but the bookshop is now up and running properly again. The SSL certificate is clearly visible; The shopping cart totals have been added to the sidebar so shoppers can automatically click to check out from any page; We removed the blue borders around the page [...]
as of 1:30 PM EST US, the bookshop is down for some site maintenance. It will be back up shortly.
The bookshop is built on Zencart, a really great opensource software that provides amazing functionality. Unfortunately, what it does not do is allow us to easily accept orders with just a customer’s name and email address. In a fit of optimism, I attempted to force it to work the way I wanted it to, and [...]
We use PayPal to process payments because we feel they’re the most secure and trusted servicer available online. However, in response to a request from one of our readers, we also added additional security of our own to transactions in the bookshop. Unfortunately, we forgot to cross all of our coding “i”s and dot all [...]
Let us know when you’d like to come and chat with DP authors about their great books … and zombies. (If you’re reading this in a feed, please vote on the blog. You may choose as many answers as you like.)
We’ve been tidying up around here a bit, so hopefully you’ll be able to find things easier. We separated the authors by alpha sort order so they’d be easier to find, and gave the anthologies their own page. We also added the ability to log in to the blog using your OpenID, Google, Yahoo, LiveJournal, [...]
Our main computer is dead, and we’re not sure how long it will take to resuscitate it. It should have been yesterday, but it’s still not working. All is not lost, we’ve been using regular backups since the last time this happened. Unfortunately, the backup computer refuses to recognize the backup drive. As a result, [...]
Unfortunately, we’ve discovered (after already spending money on it, and isn’t that always the way?) that the main computer isn’t worth salvaging. We’ve recovered all the data except email, and are hoping to be able to restore that, as well. Please continue to be patient. We have the backup computer up and running with more [...]
As you may know, DP’s main offices are in the Cleveland, Ohio metro area. Unfortunately, that means we’ve been without power since Sunday afternoon and will likely continue without power until Friday. If you’re expecting an answer from email or need something, I’m afraid we’ll be unable to provide it this week. Keep your fingers [...]
I’m a little lost in the thicket of tax requirements. The IRS requires that we report every royalty payment of $10.00 or more in a tax year, including payments to authors living outside the US, regardless of treaty status. Spreading the fun around, all of those non-US authors are required to have a US individual [...]
Come join us. Well, the chat’s over and happy readers and writers are wending their way to bed–except Amber, whose email address I forgot to get, and who won a copy of Nora Fleischer’s Over Her Head. Amber, send your email address, please?
We’re back! Submissions are already coming in faster than we can respond to them (be patient, please!), and new books will be out very soon. In fact, here’s a sneak peek of the cover of one of our upcoming releases, Sorrow by John Lawson. Return to Lawson”s world of Witch Ember with a new tale [...]
The Chat Room is Open. Starting at 4PM EDT, we talked with Sarah Avery and Imogen Howson about their great new releases, Closing Arguments and Fire and Shadow! The party’s over and once again we had a blast. Join us next time as we celebrate more new releases. You just might win a free book!
We’ve been experiencing high temperatures at our main office that have triggered brown outs and blackouts city wide. As a result, work has creaked to a near stop, with long periods of no Internet access and difficulties with the telephone. We expect our power issues to be resolved soon and request your patience.
It’s not that you haven’t been calling; it’s that we haven’t been receiving our messages. If you’ve tried to call us in the last month, we did not receive the message. We have changed our answering service and should receive all messages in the future. We strive to return all calls within 4 business hours. [...]
Once again, a simple little database upgrade turned into the monster who ate my brain. We’re all about the zombies around here. Some of the images and graphics are still not linked properly, but most, if not all, of the pages should show up when you click a link.
Heather Parker, author of Middlewitch (and with a new story about the hapless Alicia Meldrew in the works), found a very nice resource for those of you in the UK who need to obtain an ITIN: an article on the Andrew Lownie website. If you’re frustrated and confused, take a look here.
The computer we use to format the ebooks is in the shop, so it will be mid-week before we get these releases out, but coming up: Assiniboin Girl by Kathi Wallace, Middlewitch by Heather Parker, and Needles & Bones, the surreal anthology from a really talented line-up of fiction writers and poets. Coming up after [...]
Well, I’m thankful to report that we’re back in business. The electricity returned Tuesday night, and the Internet access and telephone were working fine by Wednesday afternoon. I’m also posting to announce that Jennifer Cloud has released one of her backlist for free on her website. Jennifer writes really unusual stories that entertain, but also [...]
