On September 1st I will be releasing version 1.0 of my eBook Walking Down The Avenue. At that time I will raise the price from free to 99 cents. I feel certain that I will not distribute as many paid copies right off the bat as I did free copies, but my strategy with this book has been as a long term project. If, as I hope, Empire Avenue has a nice long run and the game continues to constantly evolve and change, I should be able to continue publishing up-dated versions every two or three months.
Actually, I am hoping to have the new text and all of the edits done and the new and improved book cover image uploaded by August 30th or so, so that I can make sure that everything is working correctly. Then on September 1st I will announce the new book release in a guest blog post on a popular social media blog. A free coupon code will be available to Empire Avenue shareholders, both mine and those of the host of my guest blog post. I will probably be fairly free in giving out the coupon code to shareholders. I will also be distributing the coupon code via my e-mail list. So if you haven't already, you might want to sign up in the sidebar at the right. This is a very low volume mailing list. Every six to eight weeks, at most I will send a new message. So far the only message I have sent was to announce the availability of the beta version of Walking. I give you my word that I will never be a spambot.
How much work I am going to have to do on revisions depends largely on how much Dups and the team change the game between now and around August 23rd. I have already made some updates and revisions and begun adding new material, but I am very much at the mercy of developments on the Avenue as to how much updating I will have to do. I am so pleased and grateful to everyone who has downloaded and read Walking Down The Avenue and especially to the 32 of you who have subscribed and even more grateful to the 15 folks who opened the message. So here is just a little added incentive to sign up for my mailing list-- everyone who is subscribed by August 31st will continue to receive a free coupon code for my eBook for as long as I publish it. As I said I plan initially to be very free in handing out the free coupon code, but just as what is now free will cost 99 cents next month, I don't plan on giving the book away forever. So be one of the few who have the savvy to sign up now and continue to get the most useful eBook about Empire Avenue for as long as the game goes on.
