Amanda Orneck liked an update 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.

    Amanda Orneck sent an update for Deus Hex Machina

    It’s the last day to help fund Deus Hex Machina, and I’m in a giving mood. 

    EVERY order today will get a gift from me: a graphic novel short story I wrote as part of the compilation Winter’s Eye (available on Amazon here). 

    So how can you, the book supporter who’s already ordered help? Please get ask one friend to order to the book today!

    Yes I know it’s an impossible task, but I have visions of full funding today. Of waking up to 750 orders. That’s only 450. NBD.  Totally doable. Do I *know* 450 people? NOPE. Aye, there’s the rub.

    Love to all you crazy book lovers. You’re the reason this book is a thing. 

    See you on the other side of funding

      Amanda Orneck liked an update for Tantalus Depths

      Story Update:
      The crew of The Diamelen is equipped with all manner of sophisticated mining equipment on their mission to Tantalus 13. One such piece of equipment is the EM probe deployment gun. It gives them the ability to see detailed three-dimensional images of the composition of the rock beneath them. On a mysterious world like Tantalus 13, these probe guns will give the crew their first glance at what lies below...and may need to see a less conventional use later on...
        

      The crew are well-equipped, but is it enough for the dangers that await them? Find out when you place your pre-order for Tantalus Depths today!

          Tantalus Depths is only 6 away from 300 pre-orders! As I’ve said, once I reach that number, I’m going to make my original short story, The Perspecive Machine, temporarily free for download to all, as a way to say thanks.
           

          Let’s hit that goal asap, so I can give you all this thank you gift :)

            Amanda Orneck liked an update for Lucky

            Hi, my faithful and wonderful Readers,

            I am happy to announce that my lengthy silence is (hopefully) over! The past few weeks have been a tumult of real life, depression, anxiety, and installing new book cases in my house! The new book cases are wonderful...the other stuff wasn’t so wonderful. Here’s a picture of the new book cases to cheer us all up. ...

            In other, more exciting news: I have finished my first rewrite for Chapter 13 of Lucky! I’m pretty excited and I think the new writing is going to be fun for everyone to read. It involves - get this - pet rocks. Yes, I said it. Pet rocks! And in space!

            It also opens the door for me to flesh out a few of the secondary characters in the novel and bring them more into the spotlight than they have been previously. I even gave one of them the wonderful name of Giovanna Marino. So that was fun.

            There’s a bit of a downside, though. I had, with the help of a beta reader (or seven), discovered that I have a MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE (read that in an epic booming voice) plot hole in the middle of my book. This new Chapter 13 helps fill that MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole...but also makes necessary the creation of all new Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17. What is currently number Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17 will become probably Chapters 18, 19, 20 and 21, etc. The MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole will be filled, there shall be more of Lucky for all of you to enjoy, and I will grow more gray, crazy lady hairs as a result. It will all be wonderful fun and hopefully finished in the next two weeks-ish.

            I’ll be tweeting updates out as well, so follow me on Twitter (@RH_Webster) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/RHWebster.ScienceFiction) and on Wordpress (www.rhwebster.wordpress.com). I might even drop a few lines/paragraphs here and there for you to enjoy, so you’ll want to stay alert!

            As ever, I cannot thank you enough for your continued support! Instead I’ll have another cup of coffee in your honor.

            - Webster

              Greetings all! First off, I want to say thank you all for supporting me I truly appreciate it. We are only 4 pre-orders away from unlocking the 2nd piece of the painting!! :D If you haven’t pre-ordered yet or can think of anyone that would enjoy my story, please do so! Also, I wanted to take a quick detour and say how extremely excited I am about The Last Guardian having a release date. I waited years and years for this game. WOO!! 

              Have a good day all :)
