Title: Just got published on Hoopla
Post by: Jeff Tanyard on July 12, 2022, 06:23:00 AM: I got the emails from D2D today that several of my books have been published on Hoopla.

I submitted them last September and, frankly, had put them completely out of my mind.

We'll see what happens.

Me, too.

I asked D2D about this a long time ago and they said Hoopla has to approve the titles they carry so if your books are in "publishing" for an abnormal long time that could mean they were rejected. I think I've had a few published on Hoopla but I stopped monitoring it a long time ago.

I'm sure this is a reference to a popular saying or something, but it's not one I'm familiar with, so I'm afraid I have no witty retort. :(

Good question. I have no idea.

I received the notification for five books: all three trilogy books, Auxiliary's Revenge, and Mr. Wilson. No word yet about the rest of them.

When you finish buffing and shining your spaceship, crank up an 80s station on the radio and maybe you'll get an ear-worm too.

You mean they're mostly publishing older titles?
I haven't received an email yet. :icon_sad:
