Today is The Substitute-Book II official release at Lulu.com. Here is a webpage with discount coupons. They usually work fine. http://www.retailmenot.com/view/lulu.com
I just ordered my copy. Thank you for the coupon code. It worked great for me. Now to try to wait patiently for my copy. My only concern is that I might stay up all night reading it when I get it like I did when I bought the first book. I'm in suspense from your last post and also wondering how Guntram manages not to die of a heart attack daily. He must be on great drugs :D
Dear Anonymous, I think you were the first buyer. Thank you very much. Once, with a doctor friend of mine, out of boredom we calculated how much will it cost to "feed" Guntram with drugs and the price was around 1.300 euros per month (Spanish prices and as private patient) without counting doctors' fees, tests and many other things. He also told me he has seen worse than Guntram and they still live to tell and misbehave much more than our dear boy.
I'm afraid I will not release any kind of digital copies of my work. I had enough troubles with pirats to hit my head against the same wall once more. Therefore, anyone can read the novel in parts like if you were in Adultfanfiction.net. That's the best I can do.
I also just ordered my copy. I can't wait to get it! But refraining myself from attempting to read it in one go when I do will be difficult. By the way, I read the preview and Higashi and you did a wonderful work! (The coupons didn't work for me though.)
I just ordered my copy! Gotta wait a couple of days though... T_T I hope I will not read it in one go like I did for the first book lol! I would like to take my time for this one... :)
Congratulations on your release, Tionne! I've ordered it...expedited the shipping...and now I'm going to die waiting for it. Thank you for your wonderful books, thoughtfulness towards your fans and patience with your crazy ones (like me). Hugs, Hugs and more hugs.
The discount code works only when you shop in the US store. I tried to shop in the German store, it didn't work. As far as I can see, the Euro and US dollar price is the same.
Hi, I hope I can help you with the coupons. Once you're in the webpage, pass your cursor over the small blue box (eg. MAYBOOKS12) and press ctr+C and then go to the shopping cart in Lulu.com and in the "coupon code" box make ctrl+V and click on apply after it shows up.
Once more thank you very much for your e-mails and comments. I'm crossing my fingers to be good enough as to meet your expectations.
Oh so lucky, I ordered mine on the 5th but the order is still "fulfilling" and not even ship yet. -_-; I'm getting an ulcer if the book is not here by the end of the next week.
Hi Thuly, I think I ordered mine a couple of hours before you died. I got the email from lulu today, saying that it's shipped! But, I think it will take forever until it lands in Germany..... Cathy
I received my copy two days ago! I'm so happy :)) And for information I live in France and it took 9 - 10 days to arrive. Thank you once again Tionne! :D
I received the book some time ago and am currently reading it. Actually, I already read it once quickly and will read it again more slowly once I'm done with my exams. Then I will write and post a review on Goodreads. Meanwhile, I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved it! Some aspects of the story left me a bitter aftertaste but that what makes it so good. I'm just slightly frustrated because the end of the novel leaves us wanting to read more. That's a good thing in a way because you managed not to write an "and they lived happily ever after" kind of ending. Even if Guntram and Konrad have reached a new equilibrium, life goes on and difficulties will continue to arise. But yeah, I finished the book wanting more. I would love to know how the relationship between Guntram and his father will develop, how Goran will deal with his new responsibilities (and how/if Guntram will manage to convince him in the first place), and so on. I really grew attached to all of your characters so parting with them will be difficult but maybe the upcoming short stories will help. I have a question though. Now that The Substitute is finished (unless you intend to write a sequel), do you plan to write other stories in the future?

ReplyDeleteMay I ask if the Substitute 2 will have a kindle edition?

Thank you very much for supporting my work. Your reaction is really touching. I hope you enjoy the reading. All the best.
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me how to use the cupons? I can't seem to figure it out which code they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Look for the ones that apply to books. I also think that when you checkout on lulu.com a 20% discount is already included. I hope that helps.
DeleteI'm so excited! Waiting for May 5th for me was like waiting for Christmas for a 5 year old. Thanks for the coupons!

T__T I am damn sad...I have already received Into the Lion's Den but my The Substitute 1 & Substitute 2 is stuck somewhere ...>__<
ReplyDeleteHa, my books arrived yesterday!! But the first few pages of TS2 was badly torn. >_< The corner is clearly not glued properly for both books.
DeleteIt took me the whole day but I would love to read another TS book!!!
Read my copy of The Substitute 2 and LOVED it. Thank you for being an author Tionne! I hope there is a Substitute 3 >,<
