The third installment of the World Spectrum series is getting closer to being ready for primetime.

A colleague of mine has taken the time to read through Human Again and give me some very thoughtful feedback. Armed with this knowledge, I’m now ready to begin my final proofread/edit.

Life is a bit screwy right now with my trying to move back to Toronto and other Real Life issues, but I will try to prioritize getting Human Again ready over the next few weeks.

Once that’s done, all that’s left to do is formatting and uploading to Smashwords. I’m sure people are eager to see the final chapter of Leha’s story play out.

A new way to read the World Spectrum:

In other news, Smashwords has entered into a partnership with Oyster, a new service for distributing ebooks. For a reasonable monthly subscription fee (around $10), you get unlimited access to every ebook in their catalogue. Think of it as Netflix for ebooks.

I’ve already opted in to have my books included in Oyster, so they should be appearing on the service shortly. How it works is that I get a payment roughly equal to what I would get from any other Smashwords affiliate anytime an Oyster user reads a certain percentage of one of my books.

If you’re a big fan of ebooks, Oyster seems like a fairly good deal, and I hope any users of the service will take the time to check out the World Spectrum novels once they’re available.
