GENERAL FAQS
-
In a nutshell, this website serves as my online web shop, where you can purchase ebooks, audio, and print books directly from me.
RickGualtieri.com is my main home on the web. There you'll find more in-depth information with regards to new releases, my full catalog, reading order, newsletter, and much more. Please be sure to check it out.
-
Not a problem. RickGualtieri.com has all the information you need on all of my available titles as well as the various stores and platforms where they can be found.
If you ever find yourself with a question about the availability of my stories, then please feel free to contact me.
-
Typically, the reason a book will be unavailable for purchase here is due to distribution agreements with either book platforms or publishers. For instance, several of my eBooks are exclusive to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited program. Likewise, many of my audiobooks are under contract with Tantor Audio and their distribution channels.
Things are always changing, though, so please check back often for updates, and be sure to visit my website for my full catalog as well as where they can all be found.
AUTOGRAPHED BOOK FAQS
-
Typically, between 2 and 3 weeks after you place an order.
I keep a small inventory on hand, thus most orders end up being fulfilled on-demand.
After you submit your order, I'll immediately put in a request for your book(s). For basic shipping (the default), it then usually takes that amount of time to reach me for signing so I can then ship it to you.
Please note: If you choose Expedited instead, your order should ship out in under a week.
-
It means I have a lot of books available and not enough office space to keep a large inventory on hand. Hence, I’ve moved to an on-demand model where I order books upon request.
-
If you need your book(s) in a hurry, I can place a rush order. This greatly speeds up the time in which I receive them for signing but obviously costs more. The Expedited service is an additional $5 per book and in most cases reduces the wait time for shipping to well under a week.
-
I don’t charge anything for my autograph. Never have, hopefully never will. All of my prices are based on the suggested retail price at Amazon.com.
-
My dedications tend to be pretty friendly/tame by default. If you’re looking for something a bit more insulting, though, drop me a line and let me know. I aim to please.
-
Shipping is $5 per book for domestic shipping. International shipping is $40 for every $50 spent. Shipping and Tax will be calculated at final checkout.
Please Note: this does not include VAT or any other charges you may incur upon receipt. This is simply my cost to ship.
-
Yes. I am currently servicing the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
-
NJ sales tax will be applied at final checkout where applicable. Same with VAT.
-
During checkout you'll be given a chance to let me know who to make it out to.
-
Then you’ll simply get my signature.
That said, if you're ordering multiple books for different people, please drop me a line and let me know which ones you'd like a personalized message for.
-
If you'd prefer a non-autographed copy instead, just let me know in the "make it out to" section during checkout.
-
Unfortunately, due to the logistics of time and distance, it’s not feasible for me to obtain the autographs of my co-authors for this service. Please reach out to them directly to make arrangements regarding an autograph.
-
All paperbacks are 5×8 trim. Hard covers are 6×9.
-
No. All of the hardcover books sold via this site are printed via case laminate (directly on the cover).
-
All sales are final.
That said, my goal is to delight you not tick you off. So, if there’s every any problem with shipping, please use my contact form to reach out to me.
-
Sometimes when I update a cover or change formatting, I'm left with excess on-hand inventory of the older books. Rather than toss them out, I've chosen to offer them to you at a significant discount.
They're the same stories you know and love, just with branding that's longer current. I.e. the cover you see is the cover you get.
All clearance books, regardless of series or length, are $5 apiece plus shipping. And all come signed.
Please note: quantities are limited. So once they're gone, that's it.
EBOOK & AUDIOBOOK FAQs
-
The lazy answer is whatever book catches your interest. That said, I have multiple series across different genres. However, a few good places to start would be:
Bill The Vampire (The Tome of Bill 1) - a foul-mouthed horror/comedy about geeky vampire Bill Ryder - perfect for readers looking for chills, thrills, and tons of laughs. There are reasons we fear the night. He's not one of them.
The Girl Who Punches Werewolves! (High Moon 1) - an action-packed urban fantasy adventure. Not only is Tamara Bentley half-witch and half-werewolf, she's stuck in the middle of a supernatural cold war. The only thing both sides can agree on - she's an abomination who needs to be destroyed.
Bigfoot Hunters (Tales of the Crypto-Hunter 1) - a gory, blood soaked adventure for fans of survival horror. Trapped in the woods, far from any help, mankind is about to become the endangered species!
All that said, I'm proud of each and every book I write. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
