Serial updates
This week we’ve got Part 2 of Rachelle Cochran’s Perfect Angel in our That Famous Happy End serial. We’ve also got a new fairy tale by Mara Ismine, a Beauty and the Beast remake titled Pretty. Check them out from the serial fiction page.

Credit Cards now accepted
LT3 is pleased to announce that we now accept credit cards! You can now use your MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express cards to purchase ebooks and to pay for your serial subscriptions. As part of this upgrade, we’ve implemented the price change outlined in a previous post. Most ebook pricing has increased by $0.50 to $1.00, and the monthly serial subscription has increased by $0.30. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble with purchases using your credit card.

More subscription options!
We now offer two additional payment plans for our serial fiction subscription, giving you three options for subscribing to LT3. You can pay $3.25 once a month, $18.60 every 6 months, or $35.40 once a year.

Gulf Oil Spill Fund
LT3 is donating $2 from every purchase of Dire Straits, a new ebook from Megan Derr, to the Gulf Oil Spill Fund put together by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. To learn more about the Gulf Oil Spill Fund and the Greater New Orleans Foundation, click the image below.

Less than a century ago, the world was a dangerous place. Monsters ran wild, and the only thing more dangerous was the humans attempting to control them. The chaotic lands were eventually tamed by a group of people who came to be known as the Crown, and they formed a government that helped to maintain peace in the untamed lands.

Bannick Poore is one such maintainer of peace, an infamous Priest with guns at his hips and a blood red collar around his throat. He is equal parts mage and gunslinger, and it is his sworn duty to uphold the law and drive back the monsters that still crop up in a land that is still learning to be civilized…

Credit Card Processing
As stated in our last post, we’re currently in the processing of setting up credit card processing. Make sure you check out that post for all the details, and we’ll keep you updated as things progress!

Credit Card processing in the works!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

LT3 Press is pleased to announce we’re going to be adding credit cards to our payment options in the next few weeks! This process will not interrupt your service or any existing subscriptions set up through PayPal. To offset the costs incurred by this new feature, we will unfortunately be raising our prices slightly. Most ebook prices will raise by $0.50 – $1.00 and subscriptions fees will raise by $0.30 (to $3.25).

Note that if you have a subscription payment set up at the current rate of $2.95, this will not change! The new subscription pricing will affect new subscriptions only.

The new pricing will go into effect on July 21, 2010. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the admin.
