Announcement: The Mythic Island Press E-bookstore is Closed
June 2nd, 2018Don’t worry! I am still writing and still publishing!
Did you know I had my own e-bookstore? (Probably not!)
I launched my store back in January of 2013. Here’s a post on it, if you’re interested in the software or the process. I launched it to ensure my complete independence and because, at the time, some of my readers in “non-Amazon” countries had to pay a premium to pick up my books.
The store was a fine experiment, and it had a good long run, but in the rapidly changing world of indie publishing, it ultimately became more of a burden than an asset. So I decided to close shop.
Be assured that my books are still available through major vendors.
You can find them at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and iBooks — all of which are a lot more convenient to use. You can also find several of my titles at Book View Café. The only thing that’s changed is that you can no longer buy them from my personal store.
Thank you to everyone who visited my store or used it to purchase books! And please, keep reading!
Find my ebooks at these vendors:

Linda,
I’m sad to see the store close down. It was always my first stop-off point when I wanted to buy your ebooks. From a personal and ideology point of view, I’ve always been a “go direct to the author” kind of guy, when it comes to buying books. But if you think it’s gotta go, then it’s gotta go.
As long as I can continue to get drm-free versions of your books and short stories in epub or mobi format from the other vendors that you list above, I’ll be happy.
Will these other stores also continue to sell your individual pieces of short fiction in the same way that your personal bookstore did?

Hi Philip,
Thanks for being a customer!
Actually, I stopped selling individual short stories some time ago. I’ve been much more successful putting them out in collections–which I will continue to do when I have enough to fill a short volume.
