Paul Robinson sent an update for LandFall

This is just a quick heads up about the status of LandFall.

During the week LandFall was moved out of ’The List’ and placed over in the LaunchPad contest. This is an error. I’m hoping it’ll be resolved soon.

I’ve done some looking and I think I have a pretty good idea as to what’s happened, but until I know for sure, I can’t say what the outcome of that resolution will be. For now though, I’ve put a hold on working on the story until I know what’s happening.

I wanted to be transparent about the situation and will continue to be so going forward. Stay tuned, when I know, you’ll know.

Keep an eye on that horizon.

    Paul Robinson sent an update for Ghosts of War

    Okay, update time. A short-ish one.

    No calendar chart today, mainly because there was nothing new to put on it over last weeks.

    Everything was rather disrupted again this week, must be the time of year. One thing I did find the time to do however, was to listen to the entirety of my book over a couple of days.

    Yes. Listen.

    Now it may have been with my Mac’s automatic text-to-speech through Scrivener, but it was overall a pretty good experience. The most surprising part of it all was that I actually found myself entertained by my own writing. There were small comedy moments that I’d forgotten I’d written that I actually laughed at. So I think that’s encouraging? Right?

    I also realised that structurally, I’m really solidly pleased with the second half of the book. There are a few kinks to work out on the front end, but overall there’s not as much hardcore editing/rewriting to do as I thought. Which is good.

    Work is back to focusing on Ghosts again this week, LandFall has hit a bit of a snag which has it in a form of limbo. Hopefully, it will get sorted soon.

    Until next time.

      Ouch. With exchange rate that is almost $30 shipping for a paperback to AUS.

      Completely understand the need to cover costs and keep the business viable, but that will prove too much for most Australian buyers. 

      @Thad Woodman : Will Inkshares be investigating a more cost-effective long-term solution? Hopefully as you scale it will be possible to negotiate better rates from suppliers.

          Paul Robinson liked the forum thread, Recharged after a refund for a failed campaign?
          Agreed. We all got the e-mail that the money would be refunded. Having been told of that fact but not of having the money re-charged could hurt a lot of people who have to keep track of every penny. Even if they DON’T have to keep close track of finances, they at least deserve to be told that they’re paying for the book again.

          Also-- why this book and not others? As far as I can tell, Devil’s Call didn’t reach Quill or ask for an extension. If it’s because it’s one of the books on THE LIST, then why did books like Soul Ripping have to start back over at 0?

            I am curious, too. I got an update from the author of Devil’s Call today that her campaign had ended and was being relaunched but I never got a refund from my original purchase. 

            If The List is going to have any kind of consistency it would follow that all campaigns would be reinstated with the orders they had when they ended. It certainly doesn’t make sense to have just ONE campaign have such a favorable start. It’s already an imbalanced contest as it stands since the books that have already made Quill have such an extraordinary lead.
