Okay, I feel like a douche . . .

 . . . because I just discovered that Smashwords will assign a free ISBN number to the things that I write!  That's awesome because the only thing limiting me from reaching out to readers on the Apple iBookstore and the Sony Bookstore was the fact that ISBN's cost about $50 a pop to buy one myself and that didn't seem feasible.  So . . . long story short, the things that I write will soon be coming to readers on two more venues!

Update on where Logan's eBooks are sold

Currently my work can be found on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Smashwords.  It is in the process of being posted to Kobo and Diesel.

As of right now I will not have anything on the Apple eBook Store or the Sony eBook Store.  Both of these stores require ISBN's and at this point in my career I have not written anything that I would like to assign an ISBN to.

As for the Google eBook Store, I have tried numerous times, at least six, to upload the story Like Mother Like Daughter to Google.  All have failed.  The site said that it was uploaded successfully each time but then it just vanished.  Google responded that it could take several hours, but I tried weeks ago and nothing.  At this point in time, I'm waiting for Smashwords to work out a deal with Google.  I think that Google would be well served to conclude their deal with Smashwords as they're missing out on something significant that the other eBook retailers all have access to.

On the subject of Lulu.  I will not be posting my stories to Lulu at this time.  I may put a few of the free ones up on there, but I want to keep my prices the same across all retailers and I can't do that with Lulu since their minimum is $1 and I'm charging $0.99 at the others.  Not to mention that $1 only nets the writer $0.01 at Lulu. Which is the absolute worst by far of all the retailers.
