Deadly Liaisons PRINT Pre-order

This is the pre-order page for Deadly Liaisons print volume 1. The book is 168 pages and consists of the first three stories in the Deadly Liaisons series. The book is ready to go and available at Createspace right now. This is not a "give me $ and it'll get printed eventually." If you buy a book, you get a book. It exists.

The pre-order period for autographed copies is from now to 9-15. They do not cost any more than non-signed copies. On 9-15 I will order the books from the printer and ship them to you as soon as I get them. The book costs $7.50. Packing and shipping will be $3.25 if you order an autographed copy.

I humbly ask that you buy the book directly from me or Createspace (the Createspace copy will NOT be autographed), as opposed to Amazon's website. I will earn the most money per sale if you buy directly from me, and almost nothing through Amazon. All the same, I understand if you want to go through Amazon to take advantages of any shipping deals they might offer. The shipping does make a reasonably priced item a little bit less so. (If you live in Columbus or Akron, Ohio and want to pick up a copy and skip the shipping, email me before you buy.)

The book is being printed by Amazon Create Space. The reason I went with this printer is not because I feel they turn out the best product (they dont), but because I want to be able to offer this book to the reader at the lowest cost possible. Createspace is cheap, but it's not perfect. While the book is well put together (its not going to fall apart) and the interior is almost perfect, the cover is not ideal. It looks great from a few feet away but slightly blurry close up (still completely readable though). The spine is also not perfectly aligned to the cover art. I have spoken to Createspace at length and fought with my graphics for hours and what the solution boils down to is, "use our covers if you want it to look good." I think I will take an imperfect cover over a generic/badly designed one.

Sadly other printers cost more than twice as much per copy, meaning if I wanted any money at all from my books I would have to charge you an arm and a leg, and then only like, one person would buy my book and I will have wasted god knows how many hours designing this thing. :-) So I hope you will forgive my imperfect cover, so beautifully designed but poorly executed.

If you are a bookseller and would like to buy multiple copies, send me an email (leighwilder000@gmail.com) and we can work out a discount price. Otherwise, order below:
