Two dogs, a little one and a big one, playing tug of war.

I’ve been getting a number of emails on the subject lately, so in case you missed it: You will not be able to get a number of the Otherworld books in e-format right now, at least in English. I am playing tug-of-war, trying to get my rights back from Berkley for the whole series. They’ve given me a few of the books, but not all.

Until they give me ALL the books back, I’m not about to put up new versions of the ones they’ve returned to me, because that would spike sales on the others and then they could say “Nope, not giving them back.” So, I’m encouraging people to buy my indie work and wait on buying or recommending Otherworld in ANY format right now. (Except for the last three books, which I published indie, and the two Otherworld Tales books, which are also indie).

I appreciate your support on this. I realize it kind of sucks as a reader, but trust me, as a writer, not being given control of my own work even after it’s been out this long kind of sucks, too.  (And I make far, far less from them than I will when it’s mine again).

    What BS on their part, that they won’t release it and aren’t even selling it to send you profits from! It really seems like independent publishing is the way to go, now.
    Back when we could only print books, it wasn’t really possible, but we have so much more power, now.
    Good luck. I hope you win.

    I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through the BS of getting your rights back. I wish you tons of luck.
    My neice has all of your Otherworld books, except the novella “Flight From Hell”. Where cam this book be bought? I’ve looked everywhere to get it for her, bit I can’t find it. Amazon, BAM, Barnes and Noble…its nowhere to ne found. Is this one that we have to wait for until you get your rights back?

      Right, it’s not available now, along with one of the Fly By Night books, and all of the missing OW books and novellas are in limbo until I get ALL the rights back and can put out the entire series myself.

    Berkley seems to have a very bad track record when it comes to this. Maggie Shayne went through the same ordeal with her Witches trilogy and its 4th short story entry. Keep up the good fight! I will continue to recommend your indie works to my friends and family. 🙂
