I noticed the special discount offer you guys are offering that said 25% off any book. I tried to order a King book, but the site then said the discount wasn't available for that book. I know you guys don't usually offer discounts on King items, but I only tried it as the discount said for ANY book?

I'm guessing the disclaimer "no discounts etc" on the book listing overrides the "discount available for any book" comment?

Cheers
James

HA! good point.

Actually, I meant to let the coupon slide on EVERYTHING this one time since it's kind of a big day -- sorry, will fix!

George

We're working on two different projects on that front:

* transferring the data from the old site, although we're not 100% sure it's going to work.

* finally being able to "push" updates from our Order Management System back up to the customer account

Both are works in progress that we couldn't test until the site was live.

If you have any questions about what you have on order in the meantime, email Mindy, Kate, or myself because we can send you a PDF listing all of your pending orders, along with helpful updates on where they stand in production if you want!

Brian,
What is the status of the lettered edition of SIMS: BOOK 5: THY BROTHER'S KEEPER by F. Paul Wilson?
Thanks.

Thanks.

That one should be completed by late summer or early fall as part of our "big" Lettered Edition catch-up this year. SIMS 5 is one of the titles that we're doing with our "old" traycase maker because we want the look to match the previous four books. (He isn't going anywhere, but we're working with one of makers who usually only does larger runs to help him catch-up big time this summer, fall, and winter.) The goal is to be completely caught-up on the Lettered Editions by this time next year, so for anyone who is waiting on any of these, we're getting there as fast as we can and we appreciate your patience!

NOTE: anyone who ordered the Lettered Edition of SOD 2 or FDNS who did NOT get the update we sent via email last month, please email me so I can figure out what happened: brianfreeman@cemeterydance.com

Thanks!

Brian

We have a couple of novels and novellas coming up that are from pretty big authors. It all depends on your definition of "big" of course, but there are some really good names to be announced before the year is over!

Well I'm pretty narrow minded so the list is short......but what I really meant is will there be an influx of long form stories coming out from CD in the near future as I don't really care for the short story format...Thanks.

Yep, there are definitely novels and longer novellas in the unannounced projects list!

Sweet! I can't wait!

I really like it... but i loved the way one could find the list of authors on the side...
From a SEO point of view, improvements could be made..... and the list of authors is one of them.

The list of authors is now in a pulldown menu at the top labeled Authors. With all of the new additions, the list would have gone on and on... Plus we eliminated the left and right menus (obviously) so there was no place to put them, other than the top menu!

Any thoughts or tips you have on SEO for the site, please feel free to email me because I'm always happy to hear them!

I will be very interested to see what dust jackets you will have for sale and am looking forward to reading the section on tips for budding writers

**herbertwest** · 05-05-2011 11:54 AM

Hey Brian, dont hesitate to send me an email to remind me to do some kind of SEO audit ok?
You have my details, Jeremy.

It'll be quite a list once we get around to compiling it. Sadly could be a little bit as we're completely slammed in the warehouse right now.
