A New Edition of THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE

Posted on by under Historical Romance, Indie Publishing

There’s a new digital edition available now for THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE. The text is the same as the file that’s been out for a while, but this one includes the short story “The Ballad of Rosamunde”. It’s priced at $3.99 instead of $2.99. (But the novella alone is 99 cents, so it comes out the same.)

I created this edition when I started to distribute to Overdrive for libraries, as I thought it would keep things simpler. Distributing individual novellas just sounds like a lot of trouble! But now that Smashwords has opened to several library portals, I published this same edition there, as well. It’s only available through the portals there for libraries (right now that’s Axis 360 and LibraryDirect) but if you would prefer to have it all in one volume, you can buy this edition directly from Smashwords, right here.

This edition won’t be distributed through the other bookstores channels, which means that at Amazon, B&N, KOBO, Apple, etc. you’ll still be able to buy THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE and “The Ballad of Rosamunde” separately.

Incidentally, the new trade paperback edition of THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE also includes “The Ballad of Rosamunde”. Remember that the version of Rosamunde’s story that I’m publishing is the unabridged story. It was included in the Mammoth Book of Irish Romance, but Rosamunde’s story was edited due to space constraints there.

Now you know!

This winter, we have been working through the process of listing digital books with Overdrive for their Content Reserve portal.

Once Upon A Kiss
The Last Highlander
The Moonstone
Love Potion #9
The Beauty
The Temptress
The Rogue
The Scoundrel
The Warrior
The Beauty Bride
The Rose Red Bride

Phew! I’m excited that the books are finally available. There will be more added later in the summer.

In the meantime, please tell your local librarian(s).
