Eugene: It’s both. And there really isn’t a difference between ebook and print as far as the process goes. The time is based on loads of factors including edit, art, layout and promotion. Plus when a real publisher is involved timing of when other books in its catalog are coming out, plus big competitive books from other publishers also are a factor.  You can find out more here: http://blog.inkshares.com/post/138561227020/introducing-the-inkshares-author-guide

Is this the physical book publication date or the ebook publication date or both? And, why almost a year for an ebook?

Nice! And yay for Clete, he did a great job on RUNE! Super stoked for PILOT X! 

Quick Pilot X Update

So things are progressing well and the best thing of all is we have an official publication date!

Pilot X is set to come out March 14, 2017. 

Your early support and patience will definitely be rewarded.

I met with the fine folks at Girl Friday Productions last week to talk over the plan and we’re in the process of settling on cover art. Very excited. The visual style will be a big departure from my video, I promise, Heh.

THE EDIT!

Got the first edit back from Clete with some excellent suggestions. Very excited that one of the suggestions was not "hmm, you should start over." So that’s positive! 

Actually the book is in better shape than I expected with some areas that need clarification and mostly concentrating on keeping it friendly to new readers. So I’m 100% confident this is going to be a better book than it was before. I sent my first pass back to Clete yesterday.

RANDOM BOOK FACT

If you were at a party on Alenda you might find yourself eating a creamed farragut pastry and a bottle of Kreistner’s Malt .

Thanks again for your belief in and support for this book! I wish it was March already.

What are the chances of having my eBook signed :) International shipping is a little too expensive to be able to get the physical book.
