You can buy my novella Offset through Lulu. Cost is $11 plus $3.99 shipping, but if you order before Monday the 17th, you can get 20% off using the coupon code TREASURE at checkout.

Here's the link: www.lulu.com/spotlight/luke_alistar

I plan to release the second book in the trilogy by summer at the latest, and the third before winter.

Thank you. :) I'm currently running around town trying to set up some book signings.

Ah, the life of a self-published author. :P

I would definitely buy it if I had the money. I really liked your writing from reading Circle of Three--I'd love to read this one too! =)

If I could think of a near-at-hand birthday, I'd buy another copy, but I'm coming up blank... :P

I hope it ships soon! This will be my first "dead tree" copy of one of my peer's works. :D
