- YES, you will be able to purchase the ebook from Baen when it publishes, on July 31. You can’t pre-order from Baen, because they don’t do that for non-Baen books.
- YES, there will be a paper edition, eventually. Amazon does not do pre-orders of paper books which are produced through CreateSpace or whatever Amazon’s print arm is called today.
- YES, all three stories are reprints. The stories are: “Excerpts from Two Lives” (Star Destroyers, Baen, March 2018); “Dark Secrets” (Infinite Stars: Dark Frontiers, Titan, November 2019); “Revolutionists” (The Razor’s Edge, Zombies Need Brains, June 2018)
- YES, it is perfectly legitimate for authors to reprint their own work, sell their previously published work to reprint anthologies. This is done All The Time. It is not a scam.

We’re really proud of this cover, BTW. Have another look.

Just pre-ordered at Amazon. I know that Amazon has plenty of issues, but they do donate a portion of my purchase price to a charity of my choice – my local food bank. They are my first choice for charitable donations.
I’ve pre-ordered the ebook and will order the paper edition as soon as it goes live. I’ve used the Amazon donation for a number of years. It’s only a small percentage and I buy A LOT of books, but every little bit counts. I am sure Amazon writes off the donation corporately…they don’t do anything that doesn’t benefit them…but as I said, every little bit helps.
I hadn’t thought of choosing my local foodbank as the recipient but now I’ll check into that.
