J. A. Konrath, creator of the bestselling Hyperion Press series featuring Chicago cop Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels, has upended convention by signed with Amazon for the latest book, Shaken. After Kindle brings it out as an e-book, a print edition will be released early in 2012.
Konrath is no stranger to Kindle, but because he’s bringing Shaken out as an original, the event marks a dramatic shift.
“I’m excited to be able to release the Kindle edition of ‘Shaken’ several months before the physical version is available to purchase,” Konrath writes in a press release. “Since it’s easier, faster and cheaper to create an e-book than it is a physical book, Kindle owners will get to read the seventh Jack Daniels before everyone else.”
In a Q and A conducted with himself, he asked “Aren’t you going to piss off traditional publishers?” His answer: “Traditional publishers had a chance to buy Shaken last year. They passed on it. Their loss. Their big loss. Their big, huge, monumental, epic fail.”
Konrath obviously exemplifies the motto, “Don’t get mad, get even.” Read the rest of his self-interview here.
