Robert Batten liked an update for Wings of the Pirate

Hello Adventure lovers!

Yes!  May 29th was the official release date for "Wings of the Pirate".  I have heard from many of you that have received copies and have already read the book.  It’s a fun read for the beach, in the jungle, remote island or to take with you on your travels this summer.  It would be great for all of you who have already been on the adventure to spread the word to others and leave a star ranking and a few words on Goodreads or Amazon.  It really makes a difference and is much appreciated.

Thank you for being on this novel journey with me!

Sincerely,

Eric H. Heisner

    Robert Batten liked an update for Proteus


    Hello, friends and supporters! I figure an update is due, but I don’t have a lot to say, so I’ll keep it short this time. To sum it up, things are going pretty well! we have about a month left in the campaign for Proteus, and we are now past the 400 pre-order mark. Significantly past it, actually: 425 orders exactly as of right now. Of course, that means we still have to get 325 over the next 30 days, so your continued support is still absolutely crucial. If you haven’t ordered a copy yet, now is the time. Talk to a sibling, parent, spouse, rich eccentric enemy who likes to buy things for you out of spite. Whatever you can do. Remember, if everyone who ordered a copy were to buy just one more, or get one other person to buy one, we’d surpass our goal. Let’s see if we can hit that goal with some time to spare!
    In the meantime, I’ll leave you guys with another lore update.
    Cybernetic augmentation is at the core of this sci-fi thriller: after all, the titular Proteus is a sentient AI implanted in a man’s brain: a man who, to borrow a phrase, "is more machine now than man." Many characters in Proteus are cyborgs, in one form or another. What is it about the culture of the Expansionary Coalition that leads it to so boldly modify the flesh of its own people? Let’s get some insight into what inspires a culture to bridge that perilous gap between man and machine.

      Robert Batten liked an update for A Gentleman’s Murder

      Dear friends and followers,

      Things are really progressing! We have:

      • Galleys! And a new cover!
      • Reviews! Blurbs!
      • Interviews! (You’ll want to check this out.)

      So, first off, the galleys. LOOK! Inkshares posted this to Twitter a few days ago:

      Yes, there’s a blurb there from Andy Lewis of The Hollywood Reporter. It says, "A mystery that recalls the best of Golden Age detective fiction. With fresh characters and unique twists, Huang has created a whodunit with just the right mix of old and new."

      If you head over to one of the online retail outlets like Amazon, you’ll see a few other blurbs too: 

      • "Dorothy Sayers is alive and well and writing under the name of Christopher Huang. A Gentleman’s Murder echoes the traditional mysteries in the best sense: no car chases or explosions, just great characters and a feel for time and place." - Rhys Bowen, author
      • "Settings and atmosphere captured perfectly from nearly a century ago, complex characters, and a compelling mystery―Christopher Huang’s A Gentleman’s Murder is a must read for fans of Anthony Horowitz, Charles Todd, and Anne Perry." - Daryl Maxwell, Los Angeles Public Library
      • "A dazzlingly atmospheric debut that transports you to 1920s London. A Gentleman’s Murder is a meticulous mystery that will keep you guessing until the end and please fans of both Agatha Christie and Gillian Flynn." - Sarah Nivala, Book Soup

      Over on Goodreads, Advance Reader reviews are already coming in.

      And interviews. Well, interview, singular ... for now. I exchanged a few friendly words with Jacqui Castle, author of The Seclusion, on her blog. Here’s the link. (While you’re at it, why not also check out The Seclusion? It’s quite the disturbing little dystopian epic.)

      And we’re on track for the official publication date of 31 July 2018. TALLY HO!

        Robert Batten liked an update for The Slave Prince
        It’s publication day! But... am I playing with fire?

        Yes, it’s May 29! And I’m about to ask you to leave a review on The Slave Prince... on publication day. So tell me, am I playing with fire? I sure hope not!

        If you’ve finished reading The Slave Prince and have thoughts you’d like to share about it, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads and Amazon. The more reviews there are on these platforms, the better it is for the book... especially when it has just hit the market! So, if it isn’t too much of a hassle, please do leave a review. 

        Also, since it’s pub day, could you give the book a shout out on your social media platforms (again)? I know, I’m asking a lot--sheesh, when do these requests stops, am I right? But... please? Pretty please? Insta your copy of the book and tag me on Instagram. Help get #TheSlavePrince trending on Twitter with THIS QUICK LINK. And... go cray cray on Facebook with your thoughts on the book!  

        It’s May 29--it’s the middle of the week. But who cares? It’s pub day! Let’s celebrate crossing the finish line together! 

        PS, I’ll be doing a Twitter takeover on Young Entertainment Magazine on May 31st (EST 7pm). Yes, I’ll be tweeting from their account! I plan to answer questions, share excerpts, and more! So... if you’re on Twitter, be sure to hop on on that day!

          Robert Batten liked an update for How to Remember

          Hello, readers! I hope you are having a fine Memorial Day weekend. We tried to have a yard sale, but it got rained out, and then no one came (I really do need to work on my sales skills). Instead I’ll settle for writing and attempting to get through my massive TBR pile.

          Lots going on in Dubiel-land. I can’t share much yet, but there are a few cool things in development. Let’s just say you’ll be able to read something I’ve written by the end of the year! I’m also nearly halfway done with the draft of my new novel, THE ENIGMA VARIATIONS. Not sure if I should crowdfund it or pursue traditional publishing. What say you, readers?

          While you wait for news, visit me at www.caridubiel.com or in person at a few events coming up!

          June 9, 2018 - I’ll be moderating the indie publishing panel at Killer Heat, at the South Euclid branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library.

          June 23-24, 2018 - Hang out with me at the American Library Association conference. I’ll be roaming the exhibit floor. (Sadly, I will be gone before Michelle gets there.)

          June 27, 2018 - I’m on a panel with my Sister in Crime Annie Hogsett and Ylleya Fields at the Shaker Heights Public Library.

          Happy reading and writing!!
