Where Can I Find STILL POINT?

People have been emailing me all week saying they are having problems finding STILL POINT. I’ve also had some very disappointed fans email me their frustrations that this book is only available digitally. One stubborn fan told me, “I love your books and I love this series but I refuse to read ebooks, so I WILL NOT READ THIS BOOK.” Other people commented, “You wrote a book about an anti-digital movement and then you only make it available digitally???”

For the first comment, to my readers who don’t read ebooks and refuse to download ereaders, my response to you is, “Dude. I totally get it. Own it.” If you make it a point not to read an ebook, then please, by all means, embrace it. Stand your ground. I understand the value of ebooks. They’re more affordable, cheaper to distribute, convenient to buy and they save trees. And I love trees. I hug trees. I invest more money in trees than in my wardrobe. Seriously. I planted a tree yesterday. It’s a white pine and I named it Pegitha. So I’m all about saving trees.

But, here’s the thing. If you’re not going to read an ebook, then help me make STILL POINT available in print. You can send Houghton Mifflin a message on twitter (a nice message would be more tactful). Ask them to make STILL POINT available in a print edition. The more requests they get, the more likely it will happen. Their handle is: @HMHKids

Bribe them with ice cream and cookies or offer to buy a truck load of books.

Houghton Mifflin owns the print rights to STILL POINT so they make the call over whether to publish the print edition. I have pleaded and begged and argued this case. I am of the opinion that many people still read and prefer print books. I think as writers and publishers we need to make different formats available to different reading preferences.

But, let’s be optimistic for a minute. STILL POINT is available! You can read it, NOW. And believe me, you should. You would still be supporting me, as a writer, and supporting all of the amazing editors and people that got behind this book to make it happen. Here are some links where you can find it:

AMAZON

KOBO

BARNES AND NOBLE

Some of you are concerned that you can’t read STILL POINT because you don’t own an ereader. Well, you don’t need to own a Nook or a Kindle to read it. You can simply download the software onto your computer or laptop, and read my book from there. For example, here is a link to download Kindle to your computer: DOWNLOAD.

Here is the same idea, but for NOOK (digital books sold by Barnes and Noble).

I’ve had several of my foreign fans tell me that they can’t download my book. I would try the sites I provided, but if it isn’t working it might be because the rights to this book are not available in your country yet. You can email me if you are having a specific problem and I can forward the information on to my publicist. Just let me know what country you are in and what site isn’t working. My email is: katiekacvinsky(at)uwalumni(dot)com. If you’re in Germany, I will let you know as soon as I hear about the release date. It’s coming soon.

Finally…for those of you reading STILL POINT, I highly recommend checking out the short story I wrote last fall, MADDIE’S TATTOO. It’s a prequel to AWAKEN, but it sets up characters and events in STILL POINT. I actually think you would get the most out of it after you read STILL POINT, since it introduces a new character. Here is a link to MADDIE’S TATTOO. You can download this story worldwide.

Okay. I think I answered all the questions! Thanks again for your support and for reaching out to me. Read up.
