Here’s an update on current projects that I’m working on. I’ve just posted Alraune Chapter 4 on my webpage and look forward to chapter 5. This is very symbolic since chapter 4 was so very long and took a long time to translate because I had to leave it for awhile. The good news is that I’m commiting myself to having Alraune completely translated by Christmas and plan to have it available as an ebook by that time at least. I’m working with two other people on print versions though and don’t know a time frame for those yet.
Lakes Area Pagan: A Book OF Shadows will be out this month and will complete my commitment to Lakes Area Pagan Magazine. I will be turning the project over to others. Originally this book of shadows was to collect the first four volumes of Lakes Area Pagan into one book. What I’ve decided to do instead is to collect the first four volumes of Lakes Area Pagan and add enough material so it will be a complete book of shadows that represents the OAK 3rd degree materials.
Lakes Area Pagan: Art & Poems
Some of the art work and poetry submitted to Lakes Area Pagan has been so good that it requires a book of its own in full color. The cost of printing full color books makes it imperative that it contain only art and poetry to limit page count.
My books on amazon.com
Lulu, my publisher has just pioneered a deal with amazon to list some of their books. An unforeseen consequence of this is the listing of my books on amazon.com at the lower prices of aprox $16.50 per book. Normally to have them listed on amazon.com would require the price to list at over $21.00 so both Lulu and Amazon get their cut. The bottom line is more exposure for my books than ever before. I’ve also added three of my books on Kindle.
Scribd.com now lists my books as well and has all four of them for sale as ebooks. I’m experimenting with various options to see which seem to get the best results. The main focus is still on getting new readers so everything I’ve published so far is still available for free somewhere on the web if you know how to find it. In the meantime print books and kindle editions increase the options readers have. While I still offer things online for free it is important to note that I feel a fair price for any of my books is a $5.00 royalty and all prices reflect that. I accept donations as well.
If you have read and enjoyed Anarchist Knight:Apprentice, Magister Templi, Modern Survivalism, Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume I or the upcoming Lakes Area Pagan Book of Shadows as a free edition and wish to square karmic accounts there is a donation button for $5 on the Anarchist World website. Feel free to use it.
These books remain the best information available in the world as far as I’m concerned and contain lifetimes worth of information. You simply can not find this information anywhere else. I know because I’ve tried.
