Got it :-)

Any hope of a 4th?

This is the last book we plan for those particular characters. They're getting kinda old to gallivant around the system, although I did put in some notes that medical science has advanced enough that 50 is more like 30 today just in case.

However, I'm working now on the first of two new books which will be set in the same universe, but about 100-200 years later.

I'll buy those for $15 :-)

Same universe or same location(s) `:-) ?

[seawasp]

Same universe, different location.

How does the eARC system work? Is an eARC sale as profitable to the author as a regular ebook and/or physical copy?

[seawasp]

An eARC is the MOST profitable purchase for the author. The second is a hardcover physical copy, then comes regular eBook, then come trade paper and regular paperback.

The only joker in the pack is that an eARC doesn't count in the automated "sell-through" part of book vendors' accounting; those still strongly favor the physical copies.

Note that like paper ARC's, eARCs are from the not-quite-final manuscript -- it's after the initial major editing, but before we go over the final galley proofs and such. For an eARC, you're paying to get to read it before anyone else gets to, but you are buying the not-quite-final version and thus there may be various editing mistakes and such in it.

This is actually something I rather like about them, you get a glimpse of the production process when you compare them to the final version.

That much, I knew. Ordered and emailed to my Kindle.
