Hellspark

The object in question looks like:


...


A sample can be found on:
the Meisha Merlin Hellspark page which was still up this morning.

What is is: A complex tale of first, second, and third contact with AI, alien, and human cultural elements. The protagonist wears glasses. Or maybe this is a deep and fragile love story. Or... well.... read it.

So, As time permits I'll set up a page for ordering from SRM Publisher; I think I have about 50 copies or so. Our plan is to set-aside a 10 percent royalty for the author since I'm not sure if these books come to us under the same conditions ours did from my recent trip, though it seems likely.

Let me note that, as with most Meisha Merlin book covers, the cover is somewhat darker in person than it is on the computer screen. Shame, really, that disconnect between art and reality.

OK, and now a silly Paypal trick seems to be happening...
or a silly Seamonkey trick, one. At last try the order 1 and order 3 buttons were working but order 2 was not, for people using Explorer. Wanna try? I'm probably still working on it.

Here's our Hellspark page (http://www.korval.com/hellspark.htm), in beta if not in carotene.

Have not gotten a paypal email receipt yet, though.

I haven't gotten an email receipt, either, although my paypal account shows the transaction...

As far as I can tell everything is working fine now; the problem with the page beta seems to was fixed, at least for non MSExploder users, rather quickly. As for receipts -- they can take awhile to show up -- if it shows in your account it shows in mine, I expect.
