Hello Air Pirates!  I am super excited to announce the new cover design for my high flying adventure novel "Wings of the Pirate". I am feeling very honored to have the creative skills and support of my longtime friend and acting collaborator, Clint Beach of Attic Studios #cabeachphotos #atticstudiosproductions.  We are currently 36 orders away from being published and coming in for the homestretch.  Let’s bring this bird in for a safe landing well beyond the 250 goal and not come crashing in a fiery wreck just short of the beach.  Click that green preorder button now (If you don’t have that on your screen -Thank YOU again!) and get a copy ordered for you or for that adventurous spirit in the family. 

Thanks!!

Hey Adventure Readers, 

Together we have reached 200 preorders!  We still have a ways to go to hit that magic publishing number of 250, but I’m confident we’ll get there with all your help.  With 235 followers of the project and 122 people already placing their order, we should be able to get there this week if half of the remaining followers jump aboard for a high-flying seaplane adventure!!

Also, I’m very excited that todayis the worldwide release (in bookstores and online) of my 2nd Western novel "T.H. Elkman".  If you’re a western fan check it out on my website:  www.leandogproductions.com or on Amazon.com at:  https://www.amazon.com/T-H-Elkman-Western-Novel/dp/1510711864/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473206229&sr=8-1&keywords=eric+heisner

If you have placed a preorder for "Wings of the Pirate", go to my website and I will give you a discount on any of my books or Western merchandise at:  http://www.leandogproductions.com/general-store-merchandise/

Thank you all for your help in giving this novel wings!

Hello Adventure Readers! 

I am two weeks into a family road trip to the Pacific Northwest (son=5yrs, daughter=7yrs, Wife=?yrs & Me along with a car full of gear!!) so my apologies for not being prompt with returning messages and emails.  We have been camping in 5 different National Parks, done some Wine tasting and visited Evergreen Aviation Museum in Oregon which is now the home of the great wooden seaplane, the "Spruce Goose".  I was first hooked by water flying 34 years ago when I visited the Howard Hughes flying boat in Long Beach California at the age of seven.

Another week on the road and I will be back to reading other projects, writing reviews & recommendations.  Thank you all for your generous support.  At 193 preorders, we are nearing the homestretch to publication at 250 orders! 

I am very excited to have done book swaps with several authors and look forward to doing more.  Some authors shy from doing book trades, but in my experience with my 1st published novel at Book Festivals and Author events, I often trade books with other authors and then pass the books along to other eager readers.  To get our stories out for an audience to enjoy is the main objective and it’s great to have the mutual support of other writers who know the hardest part isn’t writing the book, but selling it.

I look forward to having all you other followers of the project aboard with a preorder!  If you need more of a recommendation than my own, how about the validation of the 2016 "Clive Cussler Adventure Writing Competition" (Wings of the Pirate - Top 10 Semi-Finalist).

If old-fashioned adventure with seaplanes, Air Pirates and a female archeologist caught in the middle is to your liking, you’re gonna love this story!!  Click on the green preorder now button and show your support!!

Sincerely,

Eric H. Heisner

Hello Adventure Readers, 

Well ...  things have stalled out a bit with preorders and we are still a bit short of our 250 needed for publication.  If the idea of a female ’Indiana Jones type’ searching for treasure in the South Pacific with a  rascally ex-pat seaplane pilot appeals to you, then jump aboard with a preorder to make this book really happen! 

Thank you to all my friends & family who have ordered already and thank you to all of you who will order soon and will be forever on my supportive list of Friends.  "Wings of the Pirate" is a completed novel that has been polished countless times and is ready to hand over to the Publisher once we reach our 250 preorder goal.  My good friend & Artist, Al Bringas has already done over 20 illustrations and will be finishing up the rest shortly.  If all goes well, you should have your copy of the book early in the spring of 2017.

Now is the time to jump in with a preorder!  It would be fantastic if everyone who follows the project grabs an ebook or goes for the special 1st edition, autographed  ’Hardcover’ (a rarity for Authors in the world of ebook & paperback), then we would be at our goal in no time.  If you’re interested in seeing this book in print, sign up for a preorder or tell someone who loves old fashioned adventure with seaplanes, Air Pirates and mix of colorful characters in the South Pacific to get theirs!

Every order really makes a difference and your support is important to me and very much appreciated.

Thank You!!

The orders have been coming in slowly but surely!  I am very excited to be nearing the milestone of 250 orders and I wanted to show you all a photo of the Hero Seaplane model from the novel that I will raffle off to a Lucky Winner once we reach Quill publication!  Each order gets an entry and if things go well I will be raffling off another hand-painted seaplane at every hundred order mark thereafter.  So ... pre-order 1 or 2 or 10 books to increase your chances and lets get this High-flyin’ South Pacific adventure into your hands and bookstores worldwide!  

Also, this campaign is one of the few rare titles to be offered in Hardcover!

Sincerely, your friendly Flying Boat Captain - Eric H. Heisner

Hello Air Pirates! 

Well, last weekend I had a few of my very talented filmmaking friends over to the backyard to shoot a video of a few pages from the "Wings of the Pirate" novel.  We had a great time doing it - our amazing Cinematographer, Dan Farnam did the whole scene in 1 continuous shot.  Hopefully you will experience some of the book’s colorful characters and fun homage to classic adventure stories.  While you’re at the site, don’t wait, place your order for the ebook or Hardcover and become part of the team that makes this book happen!!

Thank You! - your adventurous Seaplane Captain, EH

ps.  you may have noticed we need more funds to finish our CGI work with the monkey.


Get a FREE hardcover Western novel for Dad on Father’s Day!

Hey Air Pirates,

How many Dads would love nothing more than to kick back and watch an old John Wayne movie or just sit in his favorite chair with a good Western novel??  I know mine would!  From today until Father’s Day, June 19th - I will mail you or your Dad a signed hardcover copy of my first Western novel "West to Bravo" with every new purchase of my adventure novel "Wings of the Pirate" on Inkshares.  
I know it’s hard to invest in an Inkshares title when it is probably 9 months from hitting bookstore shelves so how about some instant gratification!!

"West to Bravo" was released by a traditional NY Publisher and has received great reviews and sales worldwide.  Check out the link for Amazon reviews at:  http://www.amazon.com/West-Bravo-Eric-H-Heisner/dp/162914374X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464912567&sr=8-1&keywords=west+to+bravo

We are currently at 109 orders for "Wings of the Pirate" and nothing would make me happier than sending out 138 signed hardcover 1st edition copies to the Inkshare followers of "Wings of the Pirate".  That would put us pretty darn close to our 250 presales goal.  

So ...  place your preorder for the adventure novel "Wings of the Pirate", let me know who and where you want your hardcover copy of "West to Bravo" sent to and I’ll drop it in the pouch for the Pony Express pick-up(USPS delivery should take about a week from order date).

Thank you for your continued support and spreading the word to other Western or Adventure Readers!
