Yard Dog News

        The biggest piece of news right now is that Yard Dog Press is entering the EBook age!

       That's right, YDP books are going digital.

       As of this date, ALL of Selina Rosen's titles (b/c we didn't have to wait for addendums to the contracts) are available at Kindle, Smashwords, B&N, Apple (iPad), Sony, Diesel, and Kobo. We are processing more titles even as we speak and hope to have all the YDP titles up as EBooks as soon as possible. I hope to be caught up with the titles for which I have addendums by the end of the year. Then I'll be pursuing those who have not responded.

        My computer crashed just as I was finishing royalties in September, and I'm still struggling with lost information and program updates. It is quite possible that I've lost new address information, so if you are one of our writers or artists and have not received a statement, please contact me at lynnstran@cox.net.

        Holiday letters are due out soon, and yes, the calendars are going to be included again this year.   

        That's it for now!
