Quick Pilot X Update

So things are progressing well and the best thing of all is we have an official publication date!

Pilot X is set to come out March 14, 2017. 

Your early support and patience will definitely be rewarded.

I met with the fine folks at Girl Friday Productions last week to talk over the plan and we’re in the process of settling on cover art. Very excited. The visual style will be a big departure from my video, I promise, Heh.

THE EDIT!

Got the first edit back from Clete with some excellent suggestions. Very excited that one of the suggestions was not "hmm, you should start over." So that’s positive! 

Actually the book is in better shape than I expected with some areas that need clarification and mostly concentrating on keeping it friendly to new readers. So I’m 100% confident this is going to be a better book than it was before. I sent my first pass back to Clete yesterday.

RANDOM BOOK FACT

If you were at a party on Alenda you might find yourself eating a creamed farragut pastry and a bottle of Kreistner’s Malt .

Thanks again for your belief in and support for this book! I wish it was March already.

    Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Mission 51

    First of all, a hearty welcome bear-hug to all new readers and followers! I am really glad you are part of the Mission 51 family!

    Calling all friends and fans! I would like Mission 51 to reach 125 pre-orders by the end of the week. That’s just 15 more than what we have now! For those of you who have already pre-ordered, thank you, and perhaps you can encourage a friend or two to do the same. That would really help!

    For those who have yet to order, this is the time! There are only 52 more days to reach the 250 pre-order requirement, and time is flying!

    If you are an Inkshares author, contact me for a pre-order swap.

    Please share this link with family and friends! We must reach 250 pre-orders. - To quote myself (in the Preface): "The story must be told."  :-)

    Peace!

      Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Tantalus Depths

      Tantalus Depths is only 6 away from 300 pre-orders! As I’ve said, once I reach that number, I’m going to make my original short story, The Perspecive Machine, temporarily free for download to all, as a way to say thanks.
       

      Let’s hit that goal asap, so I can give you all this thank you gift :)

        Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Lucky

        Hi, my faithful and wonderful Readers,

        I am happy to announce that my lengthy silence is (hopefully) over! The past few weeks have been a tumult of real life, depression, anxiety, and installing new book cases in my house! The new book cases are wonderful...the other stuff wasn’t so wonderful. Here’s a picture of the new book cases to cheer us all up. ...

        In other, more exciting news: I have finished my first rewrite for Chapter 13 of Lucky! I’m pretty excited and I think the new writing is going to be fun for everyone to read. It involves - get this - pet rocks. Yes, I said it. Pet rocks! And in space!

        It also opens the door for me to flesh out a few of the secondary characters in the novel and bring them more into the spotlight than they have been previously. I even gave one of them the wonderful name of Giovanna Marino. So that was fun.

        There’s a bit of a downside, though. I had, with the help of a beta reader (or seven), discovered that I have a MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE (read that in an epic booming voice) plot hole in the middle of my book. This new Chapter 13 helps fill that MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole...but also makes necessary the creation of all new Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17. What is currently number Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17 will become probably Chapters 18, 19, 20 and 21, etc. The MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole will be filled, there shall be more of Lucky for all of you to enjoy, and I will grow more gray, crazy lady hairs as a result. It will all be wonderful fun and hopefully finished in the next two weeks-ish.

        I’ll be tweeting updates out as well, so follow me on Twitter (@RH_Webster) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/RHWebster.ScienceFiction) and on Wordpress (www.rhwebster.wordpress.com). I might even drop a few lines/paragraphs here and there for you to enjoy, so you’ll want to stay alert!

        As ever, I cannot thank you enough for your continued support! Instead I’ll have another cup of coffee in your honor.

          Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for The Sleeping Man

          Good morning Dreamers!

          I hope everyone is well, I hope everyone is safe, and I hope my friend recovered from being attacked by a pack of wild dogs he thought he saw (he was... extra sober). We have officially hit the one month mark and are sitting at 193 pre-orders! I tell you what I’m going to do about it, as I’m currently fist pumping and typing one -handed, which is taking forever. I am going to release a chapter at pre-order 200.

          The second bit of news is that I’m partnering with S. J. McCune of Millicent Barnes Comics for some artwork. I’ve followed his for some time off kickstarter, bought some amazing artwork which is now framed on my walls, and could not recommend in independent artist more highly. Check his work out at  millicentbarnescomics.jimdo.com or comixology under the name.

          Thank you again for your support and let’s get these last pre-orders for Quill!

          Sweet Dreams,

          Stephen

            Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked the forum thread, #?? Most Influential Reader (New Inkshares Ranking Feature)
            Very cool new feature @Thad Woodman! I’m wondering what metrics are tracked for rankings. Care to shed any light on your Inkshares algorithmic machinations? :)  

            For those wondering WTF I’m talking about, if you click someone’s profile (like this one) you will see a little orange  box stating their influential reader rank. (I am #22 Most Influential Reader) pretty interesting!

            I’ll be curious as to how this impacts the Inkshares site AND am wondering what other new features Thad has in store for us!

              From space it came, a great database... But perhaps the only people who can unlock it must enter a virtual world to do so. Could a group of gamers be the key to unlocking secrets from the cosmos?

              The world we knew is no more. Less than what collectively seems like two year ago, it collided with a Virtual Reality game we knew as Stratos. But now, that game is our reality.
              Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for To Live and Die in Avalon

              Hey, superspies!

              Jason here with your weekly To Live and Die in Avalon update! 

              Editing is moving forward very nicely and we are getting closer and closer to a polished second draft that will then be sent off to the next round of beta readers. I’m really happy with the way the book is shaping up and know that I’m going to be giving you the best version of the story!

              We’re at less than 30 days to go, so please, pre-order if you haven’t already. We’re at 98 pre-orders and need 250! Spread the word! Buy some copies for your friends and family! 

              I’d also like to take the time to promote another great book on the site that is closer to their goal than I am and really needs a big push. RF Martin’s Pixelated Obsidian Roses. It’s a Lovecraftian cosmic horror novel that features some really great prose and atmosphere. Click on the link, check it out, pre-order if you can!

              That’s all for this week. I will be making a special video update for next week as there have been some major things going on in my life that have made promoting the book difficult and I’d like to explain face to face (or face to screen). 

              Have a great Sunday and enjoy the rest of your week!

              Jason
