My Latest Book Earns Me No Profits
(Unless You Buy the Kindle Version, Which I Priced as Low as Allowed)
I have created a short (80-page) book that is a complementary piece to my picaresque time-and-space-travel novel “Taterskin & The Eco Defenders.” That novel has several human protagonists, but far more animal characters. This short book that I just released, entitled Portraits of the Characters in “Taterskin & The Eco Defenders”: A Companion Guide to the Novel, Including Excerpts from It, helps readers of “Taterskin & The Eco Defenders” (the title character is the yellow lab seen above) envision the animal protagonists featured so prominently in it. As do my last two books (one a children’s book on duck-billed platypuses, and the other depicting dinosaurs in the National parks), “Portraits” contains AI-generated images of the animal characters in the novel, as well as excerpts from “Taterskin & The Eco Defenders” for those who are not yet familiar with it.
My intention was to make this companion to “Taterskin” as inexpensive as possible. I did that by taking no profit on the paperback copy of it, as you can see below:
Full disclosure: I intended to do the same with the Kindle version, but even opting for the lower royalty plan and choosing the lowest price I could, some profits still accrue to me:
You can order the print version here. The kindle version is here. But you can actually get “Portraits” absolutely free by downloading the PDF from here — there is no charge or obligation, just a hope that you will become interested in “Taterskin.”
Here are a few images of those animal protagonists (the book shows their names and species below the images):
