07/27/11: Serials, ebooks, new features, deadlines, and more!

Serial Updates

Check out this week's serials! We've got the first part of Megan Derr's Impractical, available without subscription, as well as Chapters 10 and 11 of Mohegan: Native Instincts by India Jackson. Don't forget to check out Chapter 7 of Saving Liam by Sasha L. Miller as well! You can access all current and previous parts of the LT3 serials here.


Impractical: the coverTerrell believes very strongly in an ordered, practical lifestyle. Nothing good, after all, ever came from following impractical urges and impulses. Nearly finished with school, it is time to focus on the next step in his life—settling down at his estate, Fivecoats, and marrying a suitable spouse to oversee it while he pursues his academic leanings. When his father sends word that he has found the ideal man for Terrell to marry, Terrell can only be pleased—despite the misgivings of his best friend. Marriage, after all, is perfectly practical, and such things as romance highly impractical.

Kirian wants nothing to do with practicality. His parents chose to be happy over being practical, and he refuses to settle for less, no matter what everyone around him says. But then he is forced to marry a man who is colder than ice, settle into a marriage that seems to be in all ways practical, but in no way happy. But beneath the surface of his new spouse, Kirian sees something far from icy, something he realizes he wants—but which seems to belong to another man.

Now grown, he is the cold, proud, beautiful—but very human—son of the Dracula Desrosiers, who took him in after the tragedy that befell Johnnie's parents. Constantly kept apart for being human, Johnnie chooses to bury himself in the two things he most loves—books and mysteries.

When he is summoned by a friend to solve a simple mystery involving a pair of Cinderella slippers, and in putting one mystery to rest Johnnie only succeeds in waking several more...

New "Bundle" format and extended downloads

LT3 is making our ebooks easier to read across many platforms! If you prefer to read PDFs on your PC but still want an ePUB for your eReader, you can now buy both at once! The new "bundle" format in the Book Market gives you a zip file that contains one each of the PDF, ePUB, and HTML formats of the ebook you are purchasing. This new option is available at the same price as a single ebook format, so you get all three ebook formats for the price of one.

LT3 will continue to offer the single-format options of the ebooks for those customers who prefer to buy their ebooks in a single format. Additionally, this allows you to continue to download past purchases of your ebooks.

In addition to the "bundle" format, we've extended the download days and download attempts; you can now download copies of your ebooks up to 180 days after purchase (approximately six months) and you have up to 8 downloads per ebook!

Due to a technical problem, the version of A Delicate Game by Sasha L. Miller that was uploaded on July 6, 2011 was the unedited version. This problem was corrected on July 22; all copies of A Delicate Game downloaded prior to this date were the incorrect. You can download this ebook for free here.

The Withers Boys are the town bad boys—faerie half-brothers whose only talents are their green thumbs and an unmatched ability to cause trouble. When they're not causing trouble, it's only because the Sheriff has caught them for the moment.
