Celebrate Pride with New Books

A Goodreads user asked Hugh Howey:

Besides word of mouth, what did you do or say that got people to pay attention to your novels?

Hugh Howey Quality and consistency. I kept producing the kinds of stories that *I* wanted to read. Word of mouth did the rest.

There is a lot of luck involved in breaking out big-time. But you increase your chances by writing captivating stories and packaging them professionally. And the best advice is this: Don't stress about your sales. Just keep writing. Especially if you can write for the love of it.

When will Peace in Amber be available in a format other than Kindle or Audio CD? Is there a release date for a paperback version or epub? I've gotten your other books in the past directly from your website, but haven't seen this one yet. And I really, really want to read it. (Thanks!)
