Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears e-book & electronic rights/backlist etc
Terri's in town and we've been brainstorming about new projects and trying to figure out how to get our out of print titles back into print and into e-book form. With such a large backlist it's tedious and complicated to figure out the details: which anthology rights have reverted, which e-book but not print antho rights have reverted. Even which books are in or out of print.
I've discovered that getting older anthologies reissued is crucial to the income stream. Having B&N's Fall River Press acquire reprint rights to Blood is Not Enough and A Whisper of Blood plus Snow White, Blood Red is a godsend. But they didn't acquire e-rights which means I/we can resell them.
However, we have to request permission from the contributors to these books (once books are OP the previous contract is null and void). Luckily through email, this process is not as awful as it would be pre-email.
Then there are titles that were supposed to be published as e-books as part of the print contract. If they are not, within a specific time, those e-rights revert, even if the print book is still in print. So those books are available to re-issue as e-books.
Now I/we have books that are OP and we'd like to resell --1) we need permission from the contributors and 2) most (obviously not all, as B&N didn't) publishers who want to acquire older books want both print and e-book rights. So we need to hang on to those e-rights as part of the package.
Get it? As I said, complicated.
Anyway, in the middle of checking the rights situation (with my input, my agent's assistant made up a graph of the e-rights situation to all my books-- separate from the print situation)...I happened to look up Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears and Black Swan, White Raven, two volumes of Terri and my adult fairy tale series that were originally published by Avonova and reprinted by Wildside. Wildside has e-rights and we were told they'd get both books out by the end of 2011.
I forgot about this until looking back at my records.
Which is the long way around announcing that lo and behold Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears is indeed available for kindle and nook:

Black Swan, White Raven it not yet out. Both books are also for sale as trade paperbacks-alas RS,GT does not have the lovely cover shown.

E-books and other thoughts on publishing & editing
I've just received a royalty check for Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror--this check is mostly for e-book sales for the Kindle: 540 copies to be exact. This has helped the anthology earn out. It gives me hope for the future of e-books and for my continued career as a short story editor/anthologist.
The market's really tough right now and selling anthologies (at least mine) seems harder than ever. The market has always been tight but for a few years it seemed to open up a bit. Now it's contracted again, more writers are dabbling in anthology editing and publishers want BIG NAME AUTHORS editing anthologies for them (or at least co-editing them) sometimes with the actual editor named as "co-editor" and doing most if not all the heavy lifting. There's nothing inherently wrong with this. It's the perception that readers will see BNA under the title of the book and buy that book because his/her name is on the cover (and possibly but frankly less likely) that they'll buy the book because there is also a story by that BNA in the book). Does this work? I've no idea since I've never co-edited an anthology with a BNA.
I love editing anthologies and have no intention of stopping--unless the market no longer allows me to. The market is you. Just like any writer, my books have to sell enough copies to earn out or publishers won't commission another one. There's a constant juggling act of "how much advance must I get in order to pay contributors fairly and continue to pay my rent"? How many low paying anthologies must I edit in order to make a living? (too many, which is why I need a few higher paying ones).
Editing anthologies exclusively is like any freelance gig: feast or famine. When my tax guy asks how much I think I'll be earning this year I have to say "well I know I'm getting a big chunk of money mid-year from such and such" but that might be it. Depends on what I sell and for how much. Which is a roundabout way of saying that I'm really glad these royalties from Tachyon came in when they did --and I'll bet my contributors will be happy as well.
Oh yeah, and if someone offered me a regular job editing a magazine/webzine for a real salary, I'd jump at it. I love editing sf/f/h stories. I hope that never changes.

Wild Justice is running loose in the wild
It's now available at amazon:
I'd very much appreciate reviews/mentions on amazon and elsewhere if you like it. This is kind of an experiment, as it a book that has never been published in the US and is only available as an ebook. I (and my publisher) would of course love to see it do well. ;-)
