Unexpected publishing

desperanceI have spent the last several years being marginally aware that I was letting chances of income slip away, simply by inaction: specifically, by not publishing my BVC e-books in more formats in more places, not making them available for Nooks and Kobos and i-whatevers and all sorts. It was never a significant pain, though, because none of my books has ever produced a significant income, and I let so many other greater chances slip away, this was never more than a mild shoulda-done-that-before-now kind of itch.
A couple of months ago, I put Dispossession up for Kobo, and lo: the world didn't fall on my head, and I put it in a sale last month and sold more copies than I'd expected. So these last couple of days, I've been busy uploading my other BVC titles to Kobo - and this afternoon, all without any intent on my part, I spent a couple of hours arranging that they should all become available for every other known device also, in every market I have the ability to reach.
So yeah. I'll make other individual announcements later, as they actually appear; but if you buy from Smashwords, the epubs are up there now, and if you go through the Apple store or B&N or pretty much whoever, the books are on their way. Finally. I am so not cut out for the new business model of authorship; I want my ivory tower back, plzkthx.
