Sync City
In a post-apocalyptic future, fractured timelines are wreaking havoc on the world. Only a tough, hard-drinking enforcer named Jack Trevayne can hold things together. This is gritty, hard-boiled sci-fi with attitude. The future is complicated. Jack is not.

I use Scrivener to write formally and Ulysses to gather ideas. I have a big issue with Ulysses not being able to change its storage location (in a fully featured way,) and that is almost a deal breaker for me. I like to keep all my writing materials backed up to Dropbox in the case of critical failure.

I think the Windows version of Scrivener is far inferior to the Mac version, and that may be a consideration for you. I’ve never found an application that is as good at taking your drafts and rendering it to a Kindle file and reading the work in that format is fairly critical to my process.

    One thing I know I’d love to see is a "Save to Kindle" extension for Word. Once I get a few more programming chops, I might well try to put one together, or perhaps create a standalone one-step publisher that abstracts away a lot of the annoying knobs-and-dials configuration that you have to go through to get decent results.

      Robert Batten liked an update for I Am Waltz

      Dear Readers & Friends,

      Often we use books and films and other forms of art to leave our reality, but strong art is reflective of our human condition. It helps us connect and understand one another. I believe my book does that very thing. It’s the reason I write. 

      In light of the massacre in Orlando on Saturday night I can not in good conscience ask anyone to pre-order a book of escapism without enabling it to effect the reality in which we look to escape. As you all know scores of lives were taken and hundreds of families devastated forever. 

      So, in an effort to do our part, all author proceeds from the Pre-Ordering or "I Am Waltz" will be given to the family’s of the victims of the Pulse Nightclub Tragedy. If you feel the desire to pre-order the book I thank you, and rest assured your purchase will do its part to go beyond your personal quest for escape and enjoyment and we will do what we can to ease the pain caused to these families in whatever small way we can. 

      If you have any questions please let me know. 

      In love and thankfulness,

      Matthew Dho
