Back in 2019, I wrote a superhero-adjacent novel centering on a heist to break refugees out of a labor camp. You know me: Free Culture, CC BY-SA 4.0, No DRM, full credits highlighting everything that I used for the book, all the usual good stuff.
Over the last few weeks, at least partly since it became highly relevant again this year, I revised the text, so as a quick experiment, I have put the book up for sale on Stripe and here for people who want to read before I release it generally in a few months https://buy.stripe.com/aFa4gzaPY9tx9KG17ubAs02 https://buymeacoffee.com/jcolag/e/456435
Members here get it with my compliments. Everybody else pays three dollars, until I give it a free release in a few months. (That said, if anybody really can't afford the price and can't wait for the public release, get in contact.)
A full blog post will (probably) go out on Sunday, digging into the reasons for the refresh and what I actually updated.
And if the experiment goes well (as in, people spend money on this), then I have other books coming that will probably show up sooner, such as a cleaned-up anthology of short stories, setting guides for fictional places, some role-playing game material, mini-textbooks based on my old lecture notes and what I have learned since teaching, and (I think) some truly weird stuff.
