It’s official—I’ve crossed the finish line. Reunion: Coda has been submitted to Kindle Direct Publishing, and the clock is ticking until it becomes available to readers.
This novel will be released in three editions, each with its own unique cover. While the hardcover and paperback versions will feature designs sourced from Amazon’s stock photo collection (due to limitations in image quality from my current files), the Kindle version will proudly display my preferred cover art—a design choice I’m truly excited about.
Given the novel’s significantly larger length compared to the novella, the book itself is bigger in size, which has influenced the pricing. In the U.S., the hardcover will be priced at $25, the paperback at $20, and the Kindle edition at an accessible $5.99. For Kindle Unlimited members, it’s even better—no cost at all to dive into the story!
As for when the book will officially “go live,” that’s still a bit of a waiting game. Based on prior experience with Kindle Direct Publishing, I expect the Kindle edition might be available later today—possibly in the wee hours. The print versions? They may follow suit simultaneously or could take up to 72 hours to appear.
Now, for those audiobook enthusiasts out there—while there isn’t one available just yet, the Kindle edition does come with a handy Text-to-Voice feature. And who knows? Maybe one day, if my friend Juan Carlos Hernandez finds the right setup, we might bring Reunion: Coda to life in an audio format.
For now, I’m just savoring the moment. It’s a relief and a joy to see this project move into its final stages. Thank you for your patience, support, and enthusiasm as I’ve worked to bring this story to you!
A Certain Point of View, Too

That is great! Since I prefer hardcover or paperback over Kindle, I might wait for those. I am very much looking forward to reading it. Congratulations Alex 🥇🏆🎂🥂

The nice thing about the Kindle edition is that when I must make corrections, readers don’t have to worry about deleting the book that has formatting errors or typos. It takes a few days for uploaded fixes to “take,” but eventually, if I fix something on the e-book, it replaces the stuff I had to fix.
Not so with the print editions. Any mistakes I see on the Kindle version will appear in the print editions, too. But…if readers want the corrected version, they need to buy another copy. That’s good for my bank account, but I feel bad for the readers. That’s why getting a Kindle copy as a backup is always a good idea if you have the reader or app.
I’m not, of course, insisting that everyone should get both editions if they don’t want to….

That is a very good point. I went ahead and bought the Kindle right now. I will wait a few days with the hardcopy and paperback. Even though I will read the hardcopy I can get started with the Kindle.

BTW The Kindle edition cover looks amazing. Juan Carlos did a great job.

I like the cover as well, but because Juan designed it with text already on the front cover, Amazon couldn’t fit it properly on its templates. And the resolution is 270 dpi, while Kindle Direct Publishing wants images with minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
I’ll let Juan know that you liked his cover design. 🙂
