I saw it on Amazon, do we know where else it might be available when it's out??

Not yet up for preorder on Barnes & Noble or the Catalyst Store.

Amazon does tend to the "let's put it online 18 months before it exists, to capture as many people as possible who aren't thinking about when it'll be delivered" approach.

Except for Shell Games. Apparently they aren't in a hurry to sell us that one. ::)

The Kindle books are put up by Amazon LLC . . . so its not like someone putting up the Clan Invasion or Clan Starter Box. They have offered some of the epubs for pre-release, its that someone other distributors are carrying not making it over that makes me wonder.

I am also going to poke at the mobi and see if I can figure out how to get that sent over.

So when will Shell Game be available on Amazon?

It's currently available from the CGL store. :thumbsup:

i was hoping that the google books read would read the files you get from catalyst, but i found to my disappointment will not.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1086 on:** 09 May 2020, 14:06:54 »

B&N now has Divided We Fall up for preorder.

Come one Catalyst Store. Put it up for preorder before the 15th so I can use my coupon code.

Wrangler · « **Reply #1087 on:** 09 May 2020, 19:09:58 »

Google books has it pre-order now as well.

Is anyone else getting "Something went wrong" when trying to read Shell Games on Play Books?

I'm having the exactly the same problem. I'm ticked off. I sent message to Google Play Books, hopefully they will get back to me.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1090 on:** 12 May 2020, 10:35:22 »

might be same reasoning as I was having with DriveThru.

Did anyone else buy it on Drive Thru?

Wrangler · « **Reply #1091 on:** 12 May 2020, 11:04:55 »

To be honest, i never seen announcement for this novella made. Maybe it's not ready and it's pulled? I'd be mad if it were true. Hopefully Cuddy will be able answer some of our concerns, since it definitely not application / download error on my part.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1092 on:** 12 May 2020, 12:30:25 »

It's still available through Barnes & Noble.

Have you downloaded it and try read it? It seems to be issue with it. At least from google.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1094 on:** 12 May 2020, 12:44:16 »

Still works just fine.

Shell Games is working fine on Google Books for me. It might be a problem with American servers as opposed to Canadian ones?

I know digital has a lot of advantages over dead tree format, but seeing all this is going a long way to convince me to stick with it.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1098 on:** 12 May 2020, 17:07:17 »

Its the only one I have ever had a problem with and I got the novel from a different source than usual . . . I have put rule & source book PDFs on 3 different Kindles along with my CPU.

Were these two novellas planned to be released for the Cons?

Didn't he also write Twilight of the Clans: The Cullen Bloodname?

Star Captain Tuttle is still one of my favorite characters. The clans needed more warriors like him. Shame he forgot to bring his parachute. :'(

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1106 on:** 12 May 2020, 21:28:13 »

Tuttle? I thought it was Star Captain Turtle?

Wrangler · « **Reply #1107 on:** 13 May 2020, 06:56:13 »

I was in a rush when i wrote it as i was on verge of throwing my phone across my work space because the book won't open and Google is being doofuses in their help response. I rate I'm going i'm not going get my book on my only usable e-reader. "yay"... :(

Ignore my rant. Hopeful Mr. Pardoe's book will be readable.

I saw that Divided We Fall was listed for pre-order on Google Books. They had posted a preview, including the prelude and opening chapter, which have certainly whetted my appetite. What is rather bizarre is that whenever I check this preview, it seems to change in length! The other night the preview included the last page of the novel which gave a lot more away than I was expecting to see; it just segued from the intro to that last page!

It also had a write-up for the Dominator at the end.

I thought the mech was a bit underwhelming...

See, that's where I went with that too. I stuck with that show to the end, even the last two seasons when I felt more like a hostage to my sense of completionism than a viewer.

The all time winner for misspellings of me is still "Chubby."

That may be your best bet. I got your PM and will respond momentarily, but I don't think this is an issue with the file. Either way, it's far out of my wheelhouse to address.

Not what's happening here. There's an issue getting Shell Games onto Amazon, and John Helfers is aware of it and working on it.
