Happy Refund Day everyone!
Well, the Inkshares campaign may be coming to a close, but of course it’s not the end of the story. I plan to publish Chronozone Zero as an ebook on September 2nd. The good news is, as it will initially only be an ebook, it will be significantly cheaper. However, if you’re disappointed because you were looking forward to the paperback, then fret not! It’s not entirely off the cards; the best way to get that to happen is to help me make the ebook successful.
As such, I’m pledging that all who backed as Chrononauts or Intelligence Cores will get a free paperback, in the eventuality that it becomes one. Yes, I know you’re being refunded, but you guys are still amazing and I would love to be able to give you one of these. So let’s make it happen. The most crucial part of being a solo creative independent is getting momentum. As the first wave of this word-of-mouth ripple, I rely on you heavily. But I feel pretty sure we can do it!
Looking back, it’s pretty clear where I went wrong with the campaign. I didn’t really know what I was doing, to be honest. I didn’t push for promotion often enough. I didn’t really have enough materials to do so, much of the time. I’d never even heard of Inkshares until April; I just had a near-finished scifi story when a wild Geek & Sundry Competition appeared and I thought "well, what have I got to lose?". So I leaped in face-first.
But I just want to say it’s been a blast and I’m humbled by the wonderful feedback from you all. Inkshares is a great community to be a part of. I plan to try again for future projects, which may not be all that far off...
Once again, thank you so much. Details to the ebook edition will follow when I have them.
