Unfortunately, the way I understand it is that in order to get the newest version you have to contact Amazon and return the old version then repurchase the new version - has something to do with the book codes they assign; they treat a new version like a new book...

    Oh. Dang it. :(

    The exact same version is available at Smashwords, where I'm allowed to issue a coupon code for free copies. Anyone interested, please let me know!

    And now, relating to Elves and fun, a video someone e-mailed me today: 'They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard.' Warning, it doesn't want to leave your head. :D

    Edited to note that I uploaded a new version (minor tweaks) last night and it hasn't been posted yet, but should go live in a day or so.

    Can you post here when it goes live?  I've been waiting to clear some of my TBR pile, but I'll take advantage of the March sale.

    Carolyn, is it worth the effort for me to bother you for a coupon for smashwords?  How different is the version I downloaded from Amazon today?

    I fine-tooth-combed the text (yet again!) to get rid of some word repetitions and the like. Nothing major, but I do want my work to be as good as I can make it. I'm going to mail you the Smashwords coupon so you can have the best possible version. Right now that version is Pending Approval, and I just wrote to them asking how long it would take. They're usually very quick to respond, bless 'em, and I'll relay the news as soon as I get it.

    In the meantime you might enjoy the Smashwords free stories I mentioned earlier. 'The Kind Gods' has been exceptionally well received, maybe because of its cover art, maybe because it's a guy-type yarn. :)

    Many thanks,

    CK

    Thanx much...although I'm not terribly finicky and wouldn't hold a few word repeats against you.  ;)  I'll go check out the others as well.  Gotta love an elvish author!

    Well...if you won't hold word repeats against me, I hope you won't mind that Archer is indisputably the Lady of the Elves. To quote from a review on my website, "One note about Kephart's fantasy is the absence of dragons, elves, fairies, talking swords, and so forth. Her plot and scenes are driven entirely by human and demonic forces, which some readers may prefer."

    They're pretty exotic humans and demons, though. :)
