Just sent the June newsletter —
With information about an upcoming sale AND with the current version of the Table of Contents for the Tuyo World Companion, among other things.
I will mention the sale here when it actually begins, which will be in a few days. Most of these books are not in KU, which means I will have to go into KDP and Draft to Digital and lower prices by hand. That also means I can’t set them to free because that is a serious pain in the neck for non-KU titles. Also, these aren’t exactly series books, so I don’t expect to actually make any money by dropping the prices, or very (very) little. It’s just I never run sales for them, so I thought I would. As I say, in a few days.
However, this part I will share with you now: here is the current ToC for the Tuyo World Companion. This is the brief version, showing all the main headings and most or all of the secondary headings, but none of the tertiary headings, because I bet you can recite the letters of the alphabet all by yourselves and don’t need things like that listed out.
This ToC has been revised heavily many times and is still changing on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis as I move sections up and down, delete sections (and put them back more often than not), and add sections. I’m not putting it here just for you to gaze at it, though I hope you’re interested. I’m putting it here because if anybody has anything that isn’t covered here, a different section that might be added, you can definitely send me those suggestions. People keep saying, “I think there should be a section on the land of the shades,” or “Could there be a section on Ugaro dogs?” and I’m always going YES, WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? and adding a section that includes that topic. So, what I’m saying is, don’t hesitate.
