And with that, the first tale of Arcadia Snips ends.

We’re now offering the book as a free *.pdf download here; alternatively, feel free to download one act at a time–Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3. If you download the book, we ask that you consider making a small donation–it’s only with your support that we can go on producing books and continuing Arcadia’s tale. Also, remember that the book is available under the attribution-non-commercial-share alike clause of Creative Commons–this means that you can edit it, produce fan-fiction for it, and distribute it to your hearts content, so long as you do so under the exact same clause–and give credit to the original author. Tod Wills’ artwork is available under the attribution-non-commercial-non-derivative license–which means you are free to share it, but not alter it.

Work is moving on the second book, Arcadia Snips and the Clockwork Heart; we can’t tell you much, except that Arcadia Snips will return and most probably interact with a clockwork heart. Keep an eye on this space for more information!

Finally, we appreciate the support of everyone who’s made producing–marketing–and publishing this book possible. Thanks to Tod Wills, our artist; thanks to Self Publishing, Inc, our printer; thanks to our family, our friends, and everyone who bought the book and who might buy the book in the future. Speaking of buying the book–we’re still offering printed versions for purchase, and we encourage you to buy them both as a way of having the book on hand and as supporting the production of the second book. We won’t be able to produce the second book without selling enough copies of the first; if you enjoyed the first book, please consider buying a physical copy.

In the meanwhile, I’m going to start updating Lucky Monday again (parental advisory–semi-graphic content), despite the many assurances made to me by various lawyers and doctors that doing so is against my own better interest. I’ll try to keep a weekly Monday posting with it. Thanks for your patronage!
