Stargazer, Graphicly.com and ebooks

I recently signed a deal to have Graphicly digitally distribute both volumes of my all-ages series Stargazer. The first volume of Stargazer is now available for free on the Graphicly website at http://graphicly.com/von-allan-studio/stargazer-v1.

Volume 2 will be ready shortly. Volume 2 is now available by visiting http://graphicly.com/von-allan-studio/stargazer/v2. And yup, it's 99 cents.

One downside to Graphicly is that they do use Digital Rights Management or DRM. I don't believe in that practice myself. I really don't. I think Joe Wikert has covered this pretty well in a recent column with Publishers Weekly as has Mike Shatzkin in his piece on the Digital Book World conference. To help deal with that, I have PDF and CBR/CBZ versions of Stargazer available FOR FREE now. These are also completely DRM free. You can find links to download them by clicking the "ebooks" link at the top of this page or just by clicking right here.

If you like Stargazer, please consider purchasing a physical copy. Links to a retailers who are known to be carrying copies, both brick & mortar and online, are available at http://stargazer.vonallan.com/2010/05/retailers-who-are-carrying-stargazer.html. And, of course, please spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, and the like. If you don't like it, thanks for trying it!
