…well, the ebook version of it is, at least.  If you liked The Benevolence Archives and are interested in the sequel (and that’s absolutely everybody, right?) you can pre-order it from Amazon right here, for just $4.95.

A couple of important pieces of information:

• The plan is for Sanctum of the Sphere to release in digital and print simultaneously.  I don’t have a final price for the print version yet, but I basically plan to take what they’re charging me and add somewhere in the range of $3-4 to it.  I will try and have print available for pre-order too; I’m not actually sure CreateSpace does that, though.  One way or another, the release date is April 28th for both versions.  If the print version becomes pre-orderable, I will obviously let everyone know immediately.
• Also: the print version of the book will contain the entire text of The Benevolence Archives, Vol. 1  as bonus material!  I don’t think BA 1 will ever see print on its own– at 30K words, it’s just too short– so if you’re interested, this is the best time to grab it.  The ebook version will be Sanctum only.  I figure ebook people have had ample opportunity to grab BA 1 for free by now, and since Amazon won’t let me perma-free it, I don’t like the idea of charging for the same story in two different packages.  Volume 1 will remain free essentially forever.  Sanctum, much like Skylights, will never be part of a free promotion, but it’ll go on sale now and again.
• Remember, if you’re a Goodreads person (Goodreadser?  Goodreadsian?) you can add The Sanctum of the Sphere to your shelves here.

The next project in the Benevolence Archives universe is going to be another short story collection– at around the same cost as BA 1 but hopefully a bit longer.  I have at least one other book to get to before that happens, though.  Which… man, that’s a weird feeling.

One more announcement coming today, not as big of a deal as this one, but I’m gonna give this a few hours to own the front page by itself.  The site’s gonna get reskinned later today too, but I won’t start really trying to push pre-orders until a couple weeks before launch, so don’t worry that the blog’s gonna get eaten by advertising again.  I just found out yesterday you can make books available 90 days before release and don’t need a finalized manuscript, and figured I had no reason to wait.  The overall plan hasn’t changed.  🙂
