So how many of you got your shipping notices yesterday?
So how many of you got your shipping notices yesterday?
QUICK UPDATE: Yesterday I spent most of the day at the Inkshares office signing an insane number of hardcover copies. They're all boxed up and ready to go, so we're not gonna wait -- backer copies ship out NEXT WEEK, which means you'll have your signed copy well in advance of the official July 29 publication date. w000t!
Also, I'm really thrilled that Abomination was included in influential sci-fi/fantasy site io9's list of must-read books for July! The article can be found HERE.
Finaly, a brief reminder -- if you like the book, please leave a review/rating on Goodreads as it helps immensely with building traction for the book. The Abomination page on Goodreads is HERE.

ABOMINATION BACKERS! You lovely, lovely people, you. You’ve been there for me since the beginning, crowdfunding the publication of my debut novel with your cold, hard cash. Now it’s my time to keep up my end of the bargain. The ebook edition launches TODAY. By now you should have received an email from Inkshares with the ebook files along with installation instructions. The files work with Amazon Kindle and all other popular e-readers. Yay!
I hope I’ve been able to justify your faith in me and this project by delivering a book you’ll find fun and exciting to read. I trust you’ll tell me whether I have or not soon enough! I very very much want to hear your feedback. Tell me what you think by contacting me directly — here’s where to find me on Twitter and here I am on Facebook.
One small request — if you do enjoy the book, please please do leave a review and rating on Goodreads, as getting some positive buzz from you, the very first people to read the book, is critical in helping to get the word out as we build up to the print version hitting bookstores on July 29. Abomination’s page on Goodreads can be found here. That’s it! What are you still reading this for when you could be reading Abomination?
Contra Omnia Monstra,
Gary
BACKERS! The digital version of Abomination (kindle and epub) will be yours TOMORROW. YOU MAY GET EXCITED NOW.
I MEANT GENEROUSLY. BACK OFF, I HAVEN'T HAD MY COFFEE YET
To those of you who so generally backed Abomination at the highest level during its crowdfunding phase, THANK YOU! You're in the first edition :)
Hello all!
Well by now most if not all of you should have received your physical copies of Abomination in the mail. If you don't have yours yet, it should be any day now! I just got back from San Diego Comic-Con where, with the help of the Inkshares crew, I signed a LOT of copies of the book and hopefully helped to spread the word a little bit.
So yeah, by now I hope a bunch of you are enjoying the book. I've been hearing from many of you via Twitter, and that's a great way to send me your thoughts, I'll retweet the best ones I receive. Pictures are always great to see! My Twitter handle is @garywhitta
Oh, and PLEASE PLEASE do leave a review/rating on Amazon and/or Goodreads if you like the book, that's really crucial in helping spread the word. So far we have a 96% positive rating on Goodreads, but there's always room for improvement! :-)
