Welcome to the home page of ArcherRat Publishing, author Aaron Allston's publishing concern.
Most items available here are digital documents for sale or free download. As the catalogue of prodcts grows, you will find short stories, novels, nonfiction, role-playing games and supplements, and even DVDs here.
Currently, our catalogue is nowhere near that ambitious, but we encourage you to visit from time to time and see what's new.

Legends Presents: Dead But Hostile For iPhone Dead But Hostile is now avaible for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This edition of Dead But Hostile is an application rather than an e-bok intended to be handled by an e-book reader program. Install it on your iPhone or iPod Touch and what you get is an e-book and an integrated reader in one standalone app. The technology comes from developer ZappTek, whose Legends line was a pioneer in providing fiction for the iPhone platform. You can find a link to take you to the iTunes App Store page for Dead But Hostile on my store page or here. |

Dead But Hostile Now In Paper The ArcherRat Publishing line continues (very slowly) to expand as we add a print edition of Dead But Hostile to the catalogue. Print On Demand — here's a little side information for the easily amused — is a process by which people can order books printed on a very short-run or even one-off basis. The central apparatus is a very sophisticated photocopying machine that accepts highly formatted and preflighted files and outputs professional, bound books. Sadly, economies of scale mean that they can't price those books as low as, for instance, mass market paperbacks, but the amazing thing is that the bear dances at all. Anyway, the print edition of Dead But Hostile is now for sale at the web site of one Print On Demand service, Blurb.com. It's a 42-page, 5"x8" paperback retailing for $7.99 plus the usual tax and shipping charges. You can get to the ordering page at this link. Coming soon: more e-book editions of Dead But Hostile, and the next title for release in the ArcherRat line is undergoing final edit. |

Problem Solved The slight problem I mentioned in my last post has apparently been solved, and all before I could even make an inquiry about it. The description of Dead But Hostile uploaded for its Amazon Kindle Store page showed up there earlier today. Hooray for self-correcting problems... |

Dead But Hostile E-Book Available For KindleThe first version of the first ArcherRat Publishing e-books is now available for sale. The Amazon Kindle version of the Dead But Hostile mini-collection became available today. Check out the cover, right; the art is by my longtime friend and collaborator, Denis Loubet. You can go to ArcherRat's store page for more information or directly to the Amazon.com Kindle store page to order. At the moment, the description entered for the e-book does not show up on the Amazon page; I'll be checking into that and (I hope) getting it straightened out soon. For now, though, I'm happy that the book is online and available. In the near future, Dead But Hostile will become available in more formats, including stand-alone iPhone apps, several e-book formats (.epub, .html, .mobi, .pdf) sold as a single unit from this site, and in print form. Wish us luck... |
