We’re 345 orders in!

It’s Super Reader Appreciation Day! Did you know if you order 3 or more your name goes in the back of the book? If we get to 750, Rock of Ages will be marketed and distributed internationally and your name could be in it! You you could give copies to your friends and family, a book club, or use them as gifts.

I’m going to sweeten the deal even more today. Anyone who purchases the Super Reader Pack (3+ copies), I’ll write a short fiction piece about. You’ll get 100 words for each copy you purchase. You will be welcome to share this or just keep it for yourself. Your own short story, with you as the main character, by a soon-to-be-published novelist!

Of course single orders are welcome and appreciated too! Thank you!

Thank you so much to all of you and especially, today, to my Super Readers!

Hi, readers! First, thanks to everyone who is new on the list. I am in the home stretch of this campaign, but I plan to thank everyone personally as soon as it’s over and I’m able to recover. 

A few news items: I’m doing live updates every day on my Facebook page: facebook.com/caridubielauthor - They’re really short, no more than 5 minutes so far, and sometimes include guest appearances from cute children. I’m also doing a Final Day of Reckoning event on there, February 9 at 7pm. We didn’t make the Amazon gift card this week, but I promise I will have lots of giveaways and fun for my supporters that night.

I was SO excited to be on Jungle Red Writers yesterday! This is a great blog full of talented mystery writers - both the bloggers and the readers - and fabulous fans. Check it out and give it a follow! Also, my podcast with Beth is back, although I’m still messing with the feeds, so you might have to go directly to Soundcloud to listen.

Hoping everyone has a wonderful day! 67 copies to go with just under two weeks! Please tell everyone you know, and if you feel so inclined, write me a recommendation on Inkshares. Here’s the link again.

Isidore RAM steps into the Font, sweeping the cables connected to her Shroud behind her like a train. She flips a switch, connecting her synapses to the Circuit and sighs one whispered phrase, like a prayer "July 10, 2018." 

Hey. Hi there. 

I have news. A couple of bits actually. I shall save the best for last though.

New book title

Ghosts of War is now.....Ghosts of War: Retribution. The change was made by me to help the title stand out a little more, and it gels better with what the story is actually about (and with the titles of the series going forward). I’m quite pleased with the change. 

With that change though, means something else...

A new cover

Production Status

Very good news on this front. This last Monday, Ghosts of War: Retribution winged it’s way across the interwebs into the hands of it’s copy editor. That means it is getting a thorough going over as it moves ever closer to release later in the year. Typically the time frame is 6 months from kickoff to publication, so it should land somewhere around the middle of the year. 

I should be hearing back from Inkshares soon with some more solid dates related to the production schedule and release, and I’ll keep you guys updated where I can.

Praise for the book

I’ve been getting the first lots of feedback on Ghosts of War: Retribution in the last few weeks, here’s a few blurbs that’ll be showing up in various promo materials going forward.

"Imagine that bastard you hate. Got it? Now imagine yourself gut punching them then throwing them down the stairs, and stealing their last donut. Robinson’s debut novel takes arch-rivalvary up a notch while giving that oh-so-satisfying desire to chew bubblegum and kick ass." - Rick Heinz, Author of The Seventh Age: Dawn 

 "Sci-Fi action-adventure at its very, very best. Paul Robinson gives us complex characters facing complex conflict in a futuristic world that, although dystopian, always carries the ring of truth. There’s revenge, retribution, heroism and, sprinkled throughout, satisfying bits of wry humor. A winning combination, and a debut author worth watching." - Jason Pomerance, Author of Women Like Us 

 “Ghosts of War: Retribution is an adrenaline-fueled adventure perfect for fans of fast-paced action sci-fi.” - Robert Batten, Author of Blood Capital 

 "Paul Robinson thrills his readers in the style of James Rollins and John Grisham, and then brings them to another world in the style of Robert Heinlein. You should pick up Ghosts of War: Retribution, though be warned: it’s hard to put down. ★★★★★" - Jonathan Maas, Author of Flare

 What now?

As production finally ramps up on Ghosts of War: Retribution, I’ll be working hard with Inkshares to get it into your hands and I’ll also be continuing to work on the sequels which are now called Ghosts of War: Reprisal and Ghosts of War: Reckoning. 

As always, stay tuned for updates.

We’re up to 327 orders! 
6 of those are from today so that’s $6 so far I’ll be sending to Room to Read, an organization that supports literacy and gender equality in education. Please help me send more their way! I’ll be giving $1 for every order I get before midnight.

In other exciting news, I was featured on the website of the Bonner Foundation today! The Bonner Program "provides diverse, predominantly low-income students with an ’Access to Education and Opportunity to Serve.’ It was such an important part of my college experience and I’m so proud to still be a part of the Bonner community!

Hello Air Pirates!

Things are moving right along for "Wings of the Pirate".  So far we are on schedule for a May 29th release with all ebooks and hardcover preorders going out several weeks before that.  My good pal, Clint Beach at Attic Studio Productions has just completed a new updated cover and it has an even more exciting image than the previous one.  Thank you to Ryan Pemberton at Pemberton & Sons Aviation for the use of the photo of their gorgeously restored Grumman Goose seaplane.  Check out the "Wings of the Pirate" book page on Inkshares and we are also up on Amazon.

Cheers to finally getting this book on the path to publication!

Sincerely,

Eric H. Heisner

It’s that time of year again...the mince pies have been scoffed and the brandy quaffed, now all that’s left to do is catch up on the backlog of goodwill for 2018.  

Hopefully by now all you lovely people that purchased LOUISIANA BLOOD will have received a digital or paperback.  If anybody has not, please let me know. 

In that vein, can I ask you all for a small favour?  REVIEWS. I’m starting to plan the marketing campaign and good reviews are one of the most important planks in the bridge from obscurity to notoriety.  

If you have read or are reading the book please take a few seconds to nip over to Amazon and post a review.  Hundreds of you were kind enough to launch the book into the ether, now I need some reviews to help land it in the press and boost it up the ranks of the mighty Amazon.  No algorithms were harmed in the construction of this update :) Thank you for all your support.
