By Michael W Lucas, on February 16th, 2012 I’ve promised several authors to share the results of my self-publishing experiment with SSH Mastery. I don’t have complete data yet, but I do have sales numbers for January from Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords.
Some caveats here:
This includes only “SSH Mastery.” I have removed my fiction from the totals. (Fiction sales are considerably lower, . . . → Read More: January “SSH Mastery” sales, by the numbers
By Michael W Lucas, on February 2nd, 2012 There’s a new review of SSH Mastery over at DragonFlyBSD Digest. I’m delighted that Justin liked the book. (Mind you, I’m appalled that he’s actually reading and paying attention to the minutia I occasionally post here. But I’m delighted he liked the book.)

By Michael W Lucas, on January 23rd, 2012 Peter has already read and reviewed SSH Mastery. While a few of my readers have been kind enough to post reviews on Amazon and Smashwords (which I very deeply appreciate), Peter’s is the first long review.
And here I should confess something: The very existence of SSH Mastery is Peter’s fault.

By Michael W Lucas, on January 20th, 2012 I went to bed last night, satisfied that I had gotten SSH Mastery uploaded to the various ebook sites. I figured that I’d contact some people about doing reviews this weekend, maybe generate one or two sales. Awoke to discover ten copies sold while I slept. And I received a whole bunch of messages via . . . → Read More: SSH Mastery Round-Up
By Michael W Lucas, on January 19th, 2012 To my surprise, SSH Mastery is available at Smashwords.
I don’t know if this version will make it through to Kobo and iBooks, but you can buy it now. If I have to update it to get the book through the Smashwords Meatgrinder and into third-party stores, you’d get access to those later versions . . . → Read More: SSH Mastery available at Smashwords
By Michael W Lucas, on January 19th, 2012 I just finished uploading the ebook versions of SSH Mastery to Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The manuscript is en route to the print layout person.

Today it’s ebook only. I have a few marketing things to finalize before it goes to print.
Within a couple weeks, it should appear in . . . → Read More: New fiction collection: “Vicious Redemption”
By Michael W Lucas, on December 30th, 2011 Here’s the cover rough for SSH Mastery, by my pet artist the highly talented Bradley K McDevitt. If you see anything wrong with it, please say so now.
SSH Mastery Cover
By Michael W Lucas, on December 29th, 2011 Last summer, preparing for the OpenSSH book, I attended a course on being your own publisher. If you’re interested in publishing, I highly recommend the Think like a Publisher course. The hotel was decorated with a variety of nautical clutter.

By Michael W Lucas, on December 28th, 2011 The OpenSSH book is in copyedit. I hope to get the copyedits back this year. I’ve seen the first round of copyedits, and they don’t look too bad. Once I make the corrections, the book goes to the print-on-demand layout person and I start on the ebook conversion. The ebook should be out next month.
