How many books are planned in your Magic Series?

As of March 2011, Magic series will consist of 7 main books, featuring Kate and Curran, 2 full length spin-off novels, probably featuring Andrea and Raphael and Jim and Dali, and several novellas. For more information on the series, please click here. content

How many books are planned in your Edge series?
As of March 2011, Edge series will consist of 4 books.   For more information on the series, please click here.
Will your books be available in e-format?
If you reside in US, yes.  All of our Ace titles, including both Magic and Edge series, are available in electronic form.  If you are unable to preorder a title in e-form, that’s probably because most e-tailers don’t offer preorder versions of Ace books far in advance.  The e-books will become available for preorder closer to release date.
I’m in UK or Australia and I’m emailing because I can’t find MAGIC BLEEDS/MAGIC SLAYS in e-format?

Sadly, we’re orphaned in UK.  I pretty much suspected so – our UK editor had left the publishing house – and I had asked our agent about it, who is looking for alternative venue.  Today, thanks to Susan, we have a semi-official confirmation.

Thank you for your email and I am sorry for the slow reply. I have been speaking with our editorial team here and unfortunately we have not acquired these rights, and it doesn’t appear that we will be doing so in the near future. It is likely that the US publisher will be distributing their own edition in the UK and Australia.

UK Publisher Rights and Digital Executive

This affects Australian rights as well, I believe.

I’ve been asked before, “Why don’t you just self-publish?”  It may come to that.  If we do self-publish, we would have to resign ourselves to kissing any UK print deal for the series good-bye.  It’s not the question of money.  (I think we only got $5,000 per book.) It’s the question of availability.  The US imports can be purchased in UK and Australia, but they are a pain to find.  Having a print deal would make the books more widely available to people who still prefer to read in paper.

One way or the other, we will figure this out.  We should know more in September, so you will know when we know.

I’m emailing for cover quote.

Please contact Nancy for all questions in regard to rights and cover quote requests.

If you email one of us asking to provide a cover quote for your book, we will delete your email. Please contact Nancy instead.

I’m emailing to complain about your cover
We do not control our covers, except for the books we self-publish. The covers are created by the art department of Ace based on the brief descriptions of the characters and models available.  We have very little input into the cover process. For example, we wanted a little raccoon on the cover of Fate’s Edge and didn’t get despite begging and stomping our feet. Emailing us to tell us about it probably won’t do much good.  :(

I’m emailing to complain that your books/ebooks aren’t available in my country.
We do not control the availability of our books in other countries.  Your local publishers and retailers control that.  If you would like to read our work in your language/your country, please email a local publisher who publishes fiction similar to our work and let them know you would like to read us on your terms.  We’re happy to sell foreign rights to other countries.  We would like to have our books to be available as widely as possible.

If you are in UK, and you are asking about availability of e-version of MAGIC BLEEDS/SLAYS, please read the answer to the question above.  If you are in Canada and emailing about Amazon, nobody quite knows what’s going on there.  Amazon and Canadian publishers are in some sort of dispute, but everyone thinks it will be resolved shortly.

[toggle_content title="Will you donate to my charity?"] Probably not.  We donate to a number of charities monthly and we receive a lot of requests of this nature.  While we applaud your cause and support you in your charitable endeavors, we will not contribute financially to your cause.[/toggle_content]
[toggle_content title="Will you come on my blog to do an interview/guest blog post/giveaway?"] Our deadlines are very tight this year and we have to limit the number of guest blogs we do.  We’ll be happy to hear from you, but please don’t be upset if the answer is no.[/toggle_content]

Will you read my manuscript/recommend me to your agent?

No.
