Question 1

When will XYZ book be available in audio or do I plan to make XYZ into an audiobook?

Accepted Answer

I have a pretty detailed blog post on my audiobook journey (https://www.nicolepyland.com/post/faq-audiobooks)that you can check out for more details on how I decide which book to produce and when, but the newsletter subscribers will always be the first to know when a certain book will be turned into an audiobook.

This isn’t because I don’t want to answer the questions I get individually, usually via email or on social media, but because I don’t always know when a book will be released. I produce these myself, and I’m relying on a production platform to follow any plan I’ve tried to set, which sometimes works, but not always.

I also have my amazing narrators to consider. If I say book XYZ is coming later this year, and they are no longer able to narrate the book on time for any reason (sickness, life, etc.), I don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver.

In general, my plan is to produce all of my books in audio at some point (over the next several years, going through some of my back catalog books while also tackling some of the newer releases at the same time). This is a massive financial commitment, so please understand that it will take time.

The only book I do not plan to turn into audio is Once a Month.(https://amzn.to/3xCFQWR) This is simply because the characters have no names (and I wish for them to remain that way), so, in audio, it would be incredibly difficult to understand what is going on in the story.

Please subscribe to my newsletter (https://www.nicolepyland.com/newsletter)to learn more about when my audiobooks will be releasing.

Question 2

When is your next release?

Accepted Answer

The best place to find out what’s coming out is to check out the New Releases (https://www.nicolepyland.com/new-release)page or at the top of the Home page, where I list the most recent book and the upcoming one.

Most of the time, I also mention the next release in the “Coming Next” section at the end of my most recently released novel (the e-book version).

Outside of that, newsletter subscribers find out first, so make sure you’re subscribed.

Question 3

What formats do you offer your books in?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the book. All of my books are at least available in e-book and paperback formats. Some are in hardcover as well, and I have long-term plans to make them all available in hardcover. Printed editions, however, are marketplace-dependent because Amazon prints my paperbacks and hardcovers.

You can always check the book’s page on my site to learn about its specific formats and whether or not it’s also in audio.

I have icons there to indicate the formats offered for a particular book. If the icon is full-on black, it's available in that format. And if it's grayed out, it's not. Or, not yet, at least.

Please note that not all books meet the requirements to be turned into a hardcover simply because they might be too short, so while my plan is to create all books in hardcover, that means all eligible books (so, no Pride Festival,(https://amzn.to/4bAfgeE) unfortunately, or any of my What Happened After shorts besides the Holiday Series one).

Question 4

How do I know if one of your books is for me?

Accepted Answer

I have a reading order on my site called Journey Through My Books (https://www.nicolepyland.com/reading-order)where I give you a path that you can take in order to make sure you don’t miss anything.

On top of that, I also have a page (https://www.nicolepyland.com/themes)where you can check out if my books' themes and tropes fit you for any of the reading challenges of the year. I update these annually based on the new challenges, so if you’re participating in one of those, I recommend you check that out.

Question 5

Where can I buy your books?

Accepted Answer

For e-books, they are only available on Amazon because my books are on Kindle Unlimited. That means they’re available to read as part of the subscription membership, so I am unable to sell my books anywhere else because of the exclusive rights I give to Amazon to be on KU.

All my audiobooks are exclusively on Audible.

Paperbacks and hardcovers are printed by Amazon, so they are also distributed by Amazon in their respective marketplaces. You can find my books through some resellers, I'm sure, but you might end up paying a little more, so keep that in mind.

Question 6

Will you ever write more of... insert your book title here?

Accepted Answer

I never say never, but ideas are tricky. If I get an idea to continue a universe, I’ll definitely do it, but if I don’t, I don’t like making promises that I can’t keep. I’ve returned to book universes years after I thought I was done with them, so there’s always hope, but I won’t mention anything about it until I know for sure the book is about to come out because I don’t want to disappoint anyone.

Question 7

Where can I learn more about your writing process and your books?

Accepted Answer

My blog is probably the best place to start, filtering by the tags "Writing" (https://www.nicolepyland.com/blog/categories/writing)and "Flashbacks." (https://www.nicolepyland.com/blog/categories/flashbacks)

Question 8

Do you have any upcoming appearances?

Accepted Answer

If you’d like to know where you can find me, I’d recommend following me on social media. If I’m participating in an upcoming book club event, joining a podcast, or attending an in-person event, I generally post about it there.

Outside of that, the newsletter will have information on in-person events as well.

Question 9

Do you offer signed paperbacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do. You can request any of my books or a full series that are available in paperback here.(https://www.nicolepyland.com/signed-paperbacks)

I’ll email you back with the price (including shipping & handling) and tell you if I have a particular book in stock or if I have to order it first. Then, you can pay through Ko-Fi, which is my only payment platform, and I’ll ship it to you after that.

Note: Signed paperbacks are currently available only to US readers, but I do offer signed bookplates (https://www.nicolepyland.com/signed-paperbacks)for international readers to add to their own paperback copies.
