Who can mend the Mendicant?


Lookit that…. almost a bloody YEAR since the previous post! Who could be responsible for this travesty? Man up and step forward and take what’s comin’ to ye, ye neglectful piece of what the cat dragged in! Yes, yes, well said, bastid got away, innit? We’ll never know who did it, most likely. It’s a shame what happened to Society THESE DAYS….

Thought I’d enter the premises and run a gloved finger through the dust, etc. So it goes, as the V-Meister said.

The main thing, what the fuck happened to Mendicant City. Were you to visit its Amazon Page, you would discover a product without a proper listing. There’s no official price, but it is listed as “available” at an absurd markup. The price is supposed to be $6, whereas the current listed price is $17.76 (up from its price of $11 when I first discovered this issue). I don’t understand the situation, since this is a Print-On-Demand type book, it should be easily obtainable. (Not to mention, that price point is enough to inspire conspiracy theories. I’m NOT some Jan 6 Triple-K Patriot, or whatever.)

Coincidentally enough, I procured a large number of author copies from Snuggly Books earlier this year: the cover art for this book was drawn by my son when he was maybe 7 or 8, and so I wanted to have a shit-ton of copies, I guess. I wasn’t thinking very clearly, it just seemed like the thing to do. But it does mean that I have all these copies to sell at the proper price of $6. If you would like a copy of Mendicant City, please contact me, and I’ll be happy to send one along. I believe there’s a contact page on this site, I can’t remember what I used. Probably yarrow along with the at symbol and then yarrowpaisley.com. That should work. Or you could try ordering one from Snuggly, I don’t know if they sell direct outside of their bundles. What can I say, I’ve been lost in my own little world for years now.

As for Divine In Essence, my next collection from Whiskey Tit, I anticipate it coming along early next year. That’s the fingers-crossed date, anyway. So be patient, it’ll be worth the wait, I promise. I love my first book I, No Other, of course, but Divine In Essence is better. And I should mention, it features stunning cover art by the same artist who provided the art for I, No Other: the inimitable Jeremy Hawkins.

Alright, anything else? Well, if I think of anything, I’ll edit the post.
