Several big news items.
Tennis Shoes Vol. 11: Sorcerers and Seers is now available as a Kindle E-Book through Amazon.com. So for everyone who has HOUNDED me as to when this book might be available for download, I happily invite you to go to:
http://www.amazon.com/Tennis-Shoes-Adventure-Vol-ebook/dp/B004MYH0SK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1297452856&sr=8-3
I'm sure the next question E-Book addicts will ask is "When will your other books be available on Amazon?" All in good time, my friends. All in good time. My publisher is certainly "incentivized" to get them up as soon as possible, but the texts of my books need to be formatted for the Kindle, which takes time, effort, bureaucracy, etc., etc.
NOW FOR THE OTHER BIG NEWS! This might be just as big as the first news, but I had to put something up first. I have a totally new store website connected to my blog called http://www.frostcave.com/. Please visit and check it out. You can also link to it from the link at the top of this page. I owe it all to the kindness of a wonderful fan named Courtney Wilson for establishing it. This site does away with the old HeimerRecords website, which had many bugs. If you were already registered on HeimerRecords, YOU MIGHT have to re-register on FrostCave.com. We're trying to find a way to preseve your info and make it automatic, but for now you must re-register. For new registrants, we will carefully see if you were registered on the OLD Heimerrecords.com website and delete your OLD registration. (So you don't get, for example, two newsletters.) To register on FrostCave.com go to: http://frostcave.com/store/index.php?main_page=login
NOTE: Because the store site (http://www.frostcave.com/) is a different platform than the blog site, it IS NECESSARY TO SEPARATELY REGISTER ON BOTH SITES.
Remember, folks who want to continue to order directly from me via the phone (801-495-0555) are certainly welcome to do so. It all goes to the same Visa or MC merchant account anyway. This new store site is sooo much cleaner and easier to access, understand, etc. And EVERYTHING IS DISCOUNTED!
In the future I hope to add many other features, including podcasts, either of my own rants or interviews with other LDS artists. In the meantime, I invite those who are interested to post "reviews" of my various book and audio products on Frostcave.com.
Now for the LAST news. My publisher asked me to design a new themed game for Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites. The design was pretty much designed, so it was mostly a matter of execution. (I say that for those who worry that such a project might distract me too much from writing.) This new game will be called Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites: Race Against Time!! It should be available this fall, along with the new novel, Escape From Zarahemla, (if I can just get the doggone thing finished. :)
That's all for now! Thanks for your fanship!

BIG (well, "little") NEWS FOR THE HEIMERDINGERS
Life can be a funny thing. Pains and trials can be a funny thing. But then you wake up one day and realize the purpose of it all. The depth of it all. And the inevitability of it all. You realize that if certain things hadn't happened, certain other incredible things would not have happened either.
Such was the case a few weeks ago when I came home after dropping off kids at school and found that my wife, Emily, had placed on my pillow a stuffed Winnie-the-Poo and an Eeyore. Beside those, on the night table, was a pregnancy test--with a plus sign.
So is it a boy or a girl? Well, as Mary Bailey replied to her husband, George, when he asked that same question in It's a Wonderful Life: "Uh-huh." I presume we'll know around April. And then there will be another little Heimerdinger in our home in late July or early August. And to think we already gave away all those baby clothes, carriers, swings, etc., etc....Gonna have to find all that stuff all over again. :)
That means I'll have son who is a returned missionary in my home at the same time that I'll have a newborn. Mindboggling.
I'd love to add other news to that. But anything else seems highly anti-climactic. I'll try to add more in a few days.

3-Week Warning
At all autograph signings I've told people that my products would not remain at Costco forever. Costco has provided the least expensive prices I've seen for the new book and audio book of Sorcerers and Seers, as well as the shrink-wrapped sets of books 1-5 and 6-10 of the Tennis Shoes Adventure Series.
Costco just announced a three-week sell down of all these products. Therefore, beginning in early-to-mid January, the products will no longer be sold at Costco.
Their prices have been incredible, especially in this economy. I can't even sell them that low on my own website. As far as I can figure, every product has been priced close to the actual wholesale costs. It's been a phenomenal way for new fans to get started on the series. Also, as far as I am aware, Seagull and Deseret Book (at least those located in the same community as a Costco) have willingly price-matched Costco's prices. But in three weeks, all of that ends. In fact, for the audio, which is only $25.99 at Costco (usually $40.00) the opportunity ends on FRIDAY. The unabridged 15-CD audio for Sorcerers and Seers is discontinuing earlier than the books.
Now, none of this is bad news. Costco has been great! They've always had a quick turnover of new releases. This blog is just to warn fans who still want the products, or those who still want to give them as gifts, or those who bought the first 1-5 book set and weren't sure (yet) if they wanted the second 6-10 book set--a warning to act fast. All prices will go up (which basically means they will return to normal) three weeks from Dec. 27th.
Just wanted to save my fans a little Christmas dough. :)
