Books. Our books. Books that are now out on the stands.

And....now... there is Closed Circle. That's us!

E-Books: CJ Cherryh, Jane S. Fancher, and Lynn Abbey have formed a publishing house.

We have downloadable books and a few freebies: we have software downloads for your pc and we have formats for every device we can manage. Our books are at a good, fair price---and we are very grateful for your support! Read our e-books on your computer, your dedicated reader, your cellphone, PDA or anything else that can handle a file. We have new color covers, added commentary---we are quality! even if we do say so ourselves.

Note: I am shocked and dismayed at reported errors and glitches in e-books offered by some of my actual publishers, not to mention the pirates, which are rife on the web: I can do nothing about that; but if we make a mistake, we intend to fix it. We care! And we generally cost less!

It's nearly impossible to get backlist back into print these days, with publishers struggling for survival. The mega-oil-companies that have bought up publishers don't want to print 'old books'. They clearly don't understand that science fiction and fantasy depend on backlist so that new readers can get caught up. So we've gotten rights back for some of our books that are out of print, we are hunting down others, and we're putting those books back in e-print, so you can download a reasonably priced file in formats you can migrate into the Kindle, into a Mobi-based reader (Closed Circle will link you to a conversion utility), or an ePub reader---or---and here's the good news: your home computer can be a reader: get the software shareware from the left sidebar on my blog.

Understand that we cannot offer downloads for all books that are still in issue from publishers, but there will be some new works available that we are producing from the start as e-books. To some that are still in print---we have the e-rights.

Closed Circle books have new covers, interior artwork in some instances, and will be re-edited the way we always wanted to do it.

And every dime you spend on a Closed Circle book goes straight to the author, to keep the author writing.

And if just out of the goodness of your heart you want to contribute to our existence or to the work that went into producing them, we have a donation box where you can do that, too.

Our purpose is to get books into the hands of readers, at prices that will keep us alive and readers happy and able to buy more books. Our blogs discuss this. Go there and you'll be up on the latest news.

Buying Regular books

If you're going to order online from Amazon, there's a link above---and since it's my little 'store,' I get a little share of the purchase, so if you have no other regular book source, I will thank you in advance if you use my link above as your gateway to Amazon. A little extra income is always welcome. The books are arranged in order, first, of latest releases, and after those, they're roughly alphabetical.

Here is a listing of my various universes, which may help you find titles and sort out which comes first, though I didn't write them in this order, and you can perfectly well read Downbelow Station before Cyteen, but I would read Cyteen before Regenesis, and Heavy Time before Hellburner.

Autographed physical books...Selina Rosen has a wealth of books for sale, her own Yard Dog Press titles, plus the Ivrel graphics, various of my titles, and of Jane's, plus one of Lynn Abbey's, many of these titles autographed. And a ton of my foreign language titles. If you want one of my books in Spanish, Japanese, or German, you're in luck. Write to Selina. I've signed them---you can buy them. She has many, many titles: just ask her.

E-books of various sorts are out there: some of mine are on Kindle in DRM from Amazon by the link above, and some lately from Penguin.

And if you need us to sign books you already have, just pack them up in an easily returnable package with a return shipping label and adequate postage and mail to any of us: we're slow (we've been known to take 3 months), but we'll get it mailed back. We do recommend you wrap them in plastic inside the package, just in case of rain, sleet, or alien attack. And please query before mailing: if we should happen to be in Timbuktoo, you don't want your precious books sitting in the snow on our front porch. And please, please, please---don't give me something it takes a crane to lift. Stay around 20 lbs---and use a stout, new-ish box: I don't know how many boxes I've received with scarily gaping side-seams. I try to fix 'em, but some end up more tape than box.
