Hello All,

Dale and I have been communicating about the recent problems with the Forum here at pspowerbooks.com. It has been decided to retire the Forum and move all author & conversational interactions over to Patreon.

Over the next week or so, I'll be closing down the Forum and creating redirects to start funneling visitors of the Forum over to that URL (the main website showing all the books will be staying).

Thank you everyone for your participation on the Forum these past several years! See you on Patreon!! :mrgreen:

p.s. Sorry about all of the coding errors. They reset nightly these days and I can't keep up with changing the code that often... :(

Ok, so I'm rereading some of the titles I've collected, waiting for the 15th and Dale' s next. So I looked at Jim Butcher's Dresden Files; checked out how many I've missed, and their cost. Holy Crap! I kind of stopped following at 6 - got distracted, and prices went up. Now there are 14,and several mini episodes. But the pricing? Complete 14 book set - $106.46!!! Partial set? 7 books $53.23. Individual books? Any where from $2.99 to $15 bucks. Mini books? How about 34 pages for $ 2.99! The first priced higher than the latest(# 14- $5.99 at 640 pages.) Whole thing makes no sense. Sorry Mr. Butcher no sale. I liked his style, got off on the series, but ta-ta, Jim, I'll wait for a fire-sale or some semblance of sanity in pricing.


Any thoughts, anyone?

Its penguin LLC the publisher. They are the worst.

I wont read any of their authors. The prices are ridiculously offensive.

To be fair, it's not simply Penguin, Amazon's own thing sets weird prices. If you look at Dale's books after he stopped setting the prices himself, you'll see them ranging anywhere from .99 for a full half series, to 2.99 to 6.99 for single books.

The only time I absolutely will not buy from a 'publisher' is when they charge more for the kindle than they do for the paper back, since paperback isn't out yet, the kindle is actually cheaper for Skin Game on the dresden series.

But I do suggest, Nightlord: Sunset. I just finished it the other day, and I was as blown away by it as I was by the Blackjack.

No it isn't, there are a handful of publishers that charge way too much. Penguin is simply the worst offender IMO.

I own everything I could find by Gina Marie Wylie. Strong lead characters with good dialog. Like all of Dale's books I have read them all more than once. Far Side is maybe one of the best stand alone book I've read in a long time.

I just finished reading the entire Elle Donsaii series by Laurence Dahners. Started the first one just to see what it would be like and bought the other 11 (so far). A bit like Dale and like Lays chips, in that you can't have just one.
