I was afraid it would make eyes glaze over. Thank you. :) LOL… beth, if I managed to make that pain in the butt page interesting to write, then I guess I do have a way with words.

I just hardly ever participate in conversations on the web but this subject just begs to be addressed. i got to this page from your website when curiosity caused me to click on "readers & piracy". i had no idea y'all were dealing with these issues. i had heard about file sharing with music and after observing someone else, just felt like it was so much easier to go to the itunes store. maybe they picked a bad website... i don't know, but i didn't realize it was so prevalent in books. i think that you have explained yourself above and beyond your obligations. in your doing so, i hope that readers will "see the light" and do what they REALLY DO know is right. (That means pay for your books people!!!) as far as the series goes, as i said an explanation is not necessary but very much appreciated. it is after all the prerogative of the author to do as he/she wishes, (outside of contractions and obligations, of course). i dont read fantasies for the most part but i'll probably have to buy the Mythe books just to read them to see what they are all about!! BTW, i really like your way with words and how you put your stories together... otherwise i never would have read the WHOLE page of "readers & piracy". i've enjoyed most of your books. i enjoyed "readers & piracy" too. So thanks, Shiloh, for your hard work and the enjoyment of reading you've given me and i will continue to support you one book at a time! I have to say… very well stated, Shiloh.

Hopefully, someday...at some point, it will become feasible for you to write the last two. Piracy is probably the biggest downfall to e-books. But I admit to loving the instant gratification part to it. Besides, I really would like to see the series completed. Maybe when you feel like being masocistic, it'll be the right time.

Looking at from a writer standpoint, moving that particular world into print wouldn't be easy-moving my Hunters books was fairly easy because I'd plan on expanding that world anyway and set the writing & worldbuilding up so it would be feasible. But the rather complex world-building in Mythe, as well as what was happening within the stories would be a lot harder. I won't say I'll never, ever write another one because I never know what will happen a few years down the road, but at this point, I don't have any plans to work on that series any more. I'm sorry. :( Di, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the books, but honestly at this point in time, for me, looking at this from a business standpoint, it won’t be time well spent.

I've got a spare room chock-full of books as well as an e-book reader and a lot of the time, I still prefer to curl up with my paperbacks. I paid over the odds to get your Mythe books before I got the ebook reader - never got the ebook versions and never will as the paperbacks seem more valuable to me. You've got 2 awesome stories in this series already. Maybe you could think about doing Daklin's and Cray's stories, then publishing them as a Mythe series non e-book? I know it'll cost money but I for one would think it worth any price and would gladly buy it. Your fantasy work is the best!

Geez, some even actually slice up books and scan the pages in order to 'digitalize' those not in ebook form. I hate it as well, but as I said, it's just not time well spent and I have to handle this with a business outlook, since my writing is a business. :( Sucks that some people love to ruin things for others.

But that said, we will keep looking for work that you do have coming out. I am a serious series reader, LOL And as such can't wait for each release so I do love ebooks, but I know you view on that. I also know the last ones I've bought were Adobe digital and didn't know ther was a way to pirate them. Doesn't that help? Not that I'm not trying to sway you, just asking.
