J.A. Konrath, King of the Kindlesphere, Gives Big Publishers a Rejection Slip with “Endurance” and “Trapped”

JA Konrath Releases Two Original Kindle Thrillers

Yesterday the citizens of Kindle Nation sent Joe Konrath’s new “Jack Kilborn” terror novel, Endurance, soaring into the top 50 paid bestsellers in the Kindle Store.

Today, you’re the first to learn about another groundbreaking “Kilborn” ebook, Trapped. Here’s what Joe wrote to me in an email about it last night — the only thing I’ve cut out of the email pertains to discussions that Joe and I are having about a special surprise treat that we will be springing on Kindle Nation subscribers next week:

Hi Steve,

TRAPPED, another Jack Kilborn ebook, will be live [Tuesday]. I did something fun with this, and it’s another first.

My publisher really hated the first draft of TRAPPED, and made me do significant changes. I made those changes, adding new characters, cutting scenes, writing new ones. They still thought the book was too extreme. So I found another publisher for it, then wound up turning them down in order to self-publish.

With the Kindle release of TRAPPED, readers are getting both versions. The final, edited version, and the uncut first draft with all the different stuff. It’s sort of like a DVD with special features. And, as always, it’s $2.99.
