Forms of payment I would consider in exchange for books:

1. Fiat currency.

2. Large rubies, sapphires, and other precious stones. But monsieur, I can't pay rent with these, and how do I make change?

3. Gold bars/bricks, but where can I safely keep them? And how do I make change?

4. Reviews!!

If MANY hours of fantastical escape appeal to you, with everything from traditional magic, royals and gods, to thieves, detectives, anti-heroes, shape shifters and (queer) found family... this bundle's worth a browse.

Friendly reminder: if you bought one of my books on itch, I have added glorious PDFs of the maps that you can actually SEE. Go grab a copy, they're free!

If you haven't bought one of my books on itch, you should look into it: mcburnell.itch.io

Behold: a map!
At the top of the map: The New World. A long continent labeled Boscari oriented north-south with multiple dramatic isthmuses. It's surrounded by water but land vanishes off the edge of the map in the north. There are several ranges of mountains; the largest runs along the center of the continent like a spine and is called Glacier Mountains. There are many rivers, but the biggest is the Butarre, in the south, flowing through a massive stretch of forest that might be a jungle. On the opposite side of the Glaciers, a region lacking in vegetation like a desert. There are 14 countries scattered around the edges of the continent, while only 2, Rhyna and Vilimantha, are landlocked. In northern Rhyna, there is a dot labeled 'The Complex.'

REVIEW STORY 1: white text on a blue night sky background that reads: Advance praise from NetGalley reviewers for The Dragon Next Door. A cozy, inclusive fantasy for anyone who’d risk a mailbox arson for a chance to cuddle a dragon. Dragons, sapphic pining, and a dash of chaos—this romantasy is pure magic. a warm hug of a book wrapped in adventure. exciting fantasy about dragons, with an adorable f/f romance. This book is truly a treasure…! white text on a blue night sky background that reads: praise for The Dragon Next Door. “Tollar and Beenala are a great couple with great chemistry. Their banter is witty and playful, yet underwritten by love and respect. Both are facing issues they’d rather not deal with, but confront them anyway with an open mind and willing heart. Bale, the titular dragon, is easily my favorite thing about the book. She’s clever and funny, a ball of chaos with very sharp teeth. And she talks! The ace rep was also wonderful.” - Alex Brown, Punk-Ass Book Jockey #NessPromo

I just got advice on Amazon keywords and rejigged every keyword and category for every book still listed there.

What would you pay for 80,000 words of ebook?
For 100,000?
For 160,000?

I'm questioning my (epic fantasy) trilogy prices. It would be easier if I just sold direct & on Itch, where a minimum price, tipping & a (cheaper) trilogy bundle are options. But Kobo, Apple, Barnes & Noble not having those...
