All these ghost towns, wreathed in old loam (Assateague knee-deep in seafoam)

Good afternoon! The weather is unspeakable and so is the sleep, but I have news and it is good. For everyone who has been asking about e-books of Forget the Sleepless Shores

If you read on a Kindle, Amazon has got you covered.

If you don't read on a Kindle, or don't do Amazon, or just prefer to purchase direct, Lethe Press is now offering the Eerie Waters Ebook Bundle, which I am delighted to be a part of. Along with my collection, you get Chaz Brenchley's Lambda Award-winning Bitter Waters (2014) and the Lethe anthology The Touch of the Sea (2012); the latter looks like a beauty, but the former is my single favorite other author's collection ever put out by this press, a superlative seventh wave of queer male sea-stories, sharp and breathtaking. It's an honor to be classed with. The whole situation makes me want to be by the sea right now.

As Steve Berman says on Facebook:

Discover why so many authors admire the work of Sonya Taaffe . . . these are short stories that navigate strange waters. Eerie ghosts, descendants of Deep Ones, dybbuks are waiting for you to hear their tales.

Come and hear us singing.

In celebration, we launch T. Witt from the bow of an opium clipper under full goddamn sail. My plan is good and you should accede to it.

e-book! That's what I was waiting for.

I am interested in the bundle, but...it is less than your ebook alone on Amazon, for multiple books? I am concerned. Do you get less royalty if I get the bundle?

Yay! That's a good bundle. "The Touch of the Sea" is a great anthology. I should get round to "Bitter Waters".

That is a fabulous deal and I have just bought it. I would like a hard copy, but convenience (currently) outweighs dealing with postage etc. I have a few plane trips in a fortnight (for a meeting which I am currently preparing for) and look forward to rewarding myself with your book once I get everything done!
