At long, long last, the MIDNIGHT BLUE-LIGHT SPECIAL wallpapers are live.

I admit it: I messed up.

The initial assets from Tara (who is amazing in all ways) were missing the .GIF files that allow for previews, and I didn't tell her, because I was stressed out. And then I told her, and she got them to me, and I still didn't post, because I was still stressed out. And now, almost a year later, here they are:

The Midnight Blue-Light Special wallpapers.

Enjoy! Adorn! And eagerly anticipate the coming flood of awesome graphics for Half-Off Ragnarok and Sparrow Hill Road.

Fun for the whole family.

I had a lovely surprise last night. Amazon.com.au is selling some of your books (well, Mira's) on Kindle, that I don't believe amazon.com would see to us lovely Australians. So, I bought all three :)

If I could have bought them from the US Amazon, my error in not doing it already, but if not, maybe this is worth announcing for your fans down under.

I...don't think I should announce that, no, because I think that may be against contract terms. Thank you for letting me know, and please understand that I don't think you did anything at all wrong. But I'm going to notify my agent.

Oh, drat. I am sure you know you have an excited fan who was pleased to buy your books: I am also in an industry where I sell my ideas, so I am very sensitive to IP. I couldn't believe I'd missed an announcement that I had the opportunity to buy more of your writing.

If you wish me to edit/delete my first comment so I'm not talking about potential contract issues in your space, I will, and I totally understand.

Nope, it's fine!

The MIRA books are legal in all formats in that region, because of my deal with Orbit UK. The SEANAN books would be a problem. :)

All is well.

I love the text icons. May grab one later when I'm sober.

Fair enough!

The links to the third wallpaper are broken--there is an extra "_1" in the URL just before the .jpg. I was able to view them fine after i removed the "_1", though.

Apart from that, these are pretty cool. Looking forward to book 3. Say, is there any chance of icons/wallpapers for Parasite?

All fixed.

Those icons/wallpapers will come a little later; I'm still catching up.

Oh excellent! I love these. This inspires me to finally set up my wallpapers on my 'new' computer. :-D

I also finally got the Chimes at Midnight wallpapers posted. I am efficient.
