Some time ago, our fab artist Chris Pyke created this awesome double-paned pen and ink drawing for the chapter entitled The Press Conference. I plan to use this drawing as-is in the physical book. Now I have a colorized (or "colourized" as Chris would say) version. So here is my question to you: Should I use the same black and white/pen and ink version in the e-book as well, or should I use the colorized version? (Remember, this is old-school sci-fi. Perhaps black and white is more appropriate to the olden days of the 1950’s/1960’s.)
Here they are:
What do you say?
I apologize for sending you two emails in a row, but we did it! Fae Child has hit the 250+ threshold for Quill publishing!
This is going to be a real, live, book. Thank you so much - I’m in a little bit of a daze right now! I will update in a week or so with what happens after the preorder campaign is over.
Thank you again!

Just a quick update to say: YOU ROCK!
Fae Child is SIX orders away from securing a place in Quill, Inkshares’ light publishing imprint. I almost can’t believe it. There are five days left in my preorder campaign - the one I started in August 2016 as part of the Geek & Sundry Fantasy contest, without any idea what I was going. Once Fae Child reaches 250+ orders, it will become just the tenth book from that contest to earn publishing. And that is thanks to YOU. I didn’t place in the contest, but I kept going, and look at where we are now!
Thank you so much to all my backers and readers - I couldn’t do this without you.

Greetings everyone! It’s time for some quick... seriously bad-ass news.
Okay; maybe not that bad-ass. It’s actually just an actual booth number for Emerald City Comic Con next week.
DD11.
So if you live in Seattle and want to meet up or happen to attend the con. Let me know. Metal and Drinks will commence.
In other things. Reviews. The book has only come out a month ago from now, but in order for Amazon (or the internet) to functionally count it as an ACTUAL book... I’ve got to hit a certain threshold of reviews. (That’s 100 for those who count. I’ve got 10...) Even if you hated the book, that’s okay. Just... if you support the IDEA of authors writing books... take 5 minutes and leave a review on one of these platforms:
Audbile (For you Audio blokes out there): Click HERE
Amazon (For those who wish to feed into the belly of the beast): Click HERE
Goodreads (For those who are cunning enough to copy and paste a review from Amazon): Click HERE
As always, you can follow me or find me on Twitter @CrankyBolt and I’ll have additional written content for everyone in a few months. I’ve already got a short story about Akira done, but I’m waiting till more people finish the book before I get there.
Do you guys think I should try a video update? Let me know.
