It's been a long haul and I don't know how many uploads/edits/reuploads/edits/reuploads ...
But my current six books, including the four-part series "On the Run–Again", are up on Lulu as both EPUB and PDFs. Readers have already let me know about preferring PDFs; please let me know that they're working well (they test okay, but nothing's like the real world).
And, finally, Kindle versions are available at Amazon!
I write this not because I want to become insanely wealthy (mwah-ha-hah!) but because I want these read. They're like children that I want to go out in the world and do well. Too sappy? Maybe ...but true!
Thanks for reading my stories,
Karin

You can use the ++Weblink form (see top of page) and there's a category for TG books for sale. :)

Weblinks question
Erin--
Thank you for telling me about the ++Weblink, but, um ...er ...
I'm kind of timid filling things out the first time; you and others graciously held my hand as I got started on BCTS. I saw three weblinks under "TG Books for Sale"; should I just post once saying "Karin Bishop's Books on Amazon and Lulu"? I'm worried about sounding too commercial but after all, it is a commercial, really ...
I've only gotten my books online over this last month (for the first time ever) so the whole marketing thing is confusing--how much to push one's self, and where. Any advice to get my books known to more readers would be appreciated.
As a side note, I noticed the close relationship with BCTS and Stardust; I've never spent anything near the time there that I do on BCTS (Kudos for you!) but tried posting a story yesterday, testing the waters, so to speak. I hope this is alright and don't want to jeopardize my relationship with BCTS. It's a very early story, very sweet/sentimental, and seemed more in line with that site than the (better, I think) stories I'm writing now. But I hope it's okay to post there?
Thank you again for everything,
Karin
Stardust
Don't worry at all about posting stories on Stardust - for a start, it's also run by Erin (along with the general fiction site Fictioneer and probably a few others!). Several stories have been posted to both Stardust and TopShelf, with a week or two's delay (as Stardust typically has a smaller audience and lower volume of new stories than here, it appears to be an unofficial tradition for the debut to be there, and the follow-up to be here). In fact, if you look at the membership list for Stardust, you'll probably see quite a few familiar names from over here...

Excellent news.
Not so much that your books are available on-line (but it is, of course) more that they're also as PDF files. I'm possibly one of your readers who told you how much I hated the EPUB system because of both the slow and uncertain downloads (it took several hours to get one of your books and then I had an embarrassment of riches by getting a copy for every apparently unsuccessful attempt I'd made :)) and the restrictions placed on data storage Adobe imposes.
So great news indeed and I hope you get a good reader response. I can totally understand your motives to get them read by as many as possible. If it makes you insanely rich ... well so be it; I'm sure you'll cope.

PS not finished reading them yet but enjoying them both.
