However, as I was re-reading The Distant to ensure Rom Tar was consistent with it, I realized that some parts are simply bad. Like cringe-worthy, and it was pretty upsetting, considering I went over that book so many damn times. I thought it was good, but apparently my writing and editing skills have actually progressed a lot in the last 3 years. And perhaps that's part of the perils of self-editing, I don't know.
As such, I've removed The Distant and Wilders from purchase temporarily while I work through a "second edition" of The Distant. So you can't buy them right now. The Distant will get a second edition update. Very little of the storyline will change - one minor scene will be cut, otherwise it's a lot of cosmetic and wording issues. Wilders will be largely unchanged, aside from a few inserted details and some Kindle formatting issues.
I figure if I'm going to make an update, I might as well do it now to both, since I hardly sell any copies at all.
If you've bought the Kindle versions of those books, you'll get any updates automatically when I publish them. If you got a trade paperback, then perhaps one day that old edition will be a collector's item. If you provide me with proof you have a First Edition copy I will send you the Second Edition for free.
They should be available again very, very soon. I'm working hard to get them done. Kinda embarrassed I let The Distant sit out there for so long with these issues, but we all make mistakes, I guess.
EDIT: Both ebooks are back online. :D Trades unfortunately will be another two weeks, due to the proofing process.
