I am interrupting my day at work because of this unbelievable happening, and I simply had to share it with you! I have gotten the highest honor I have ever received for my writing! I was notified a few minutes ago by @Matthew Isaac Sobin, the syndicate lead of the GREAT SCIFI for the 21st CENTURY and BEYOND SYNDICATE that Mission 51 is their July selection!!!!

Like I told Matt, this honor has left me spinning with feelings. I am humbled that anyone would think of me and my work like this. I am overjoyed! And I feel like a funny fear has been lifted, a fear that my thought and words are insignificant. This honor is very encouraging!

Here is what Matt had to say:

The SciFi syndicate is thrilled to support Mission 51 with our July selection! Ferd Crôtte has created something truly intoxicating. The perfect premise, which takes one of the great mysteries / intrigues of the 20th century and puts us directly in the alien’s shoes; it’s SciFi and historical fiction wrapped into one. In addition, there is special artwork which illuminates the story with a deft touch. We can’t wait to read more, and for this story to become a book on our shelves. We encourage our fellow Inkshares authors and readers to support this praiseworthy project!

Matt, thank you very, very much from the bottom of my heart for this valued honor! I am re-energized to continue making Mission 51 the absolutely best it can be! Thank you!!!

Hello Adventure Readers, 

Well ...  things have stalled out a bit with preorders and we are still a bit short of our 250 needed for publication.  If the idea of a female ’Indiana Jones type’ searching for treasure in the South Pacific with a  rascally ex-pat seaplane pilot appeals to you, then jump aboard with a preorder to make this book really happen! 

Thank you to all my friends & family who have ordered already and thank you to all of you who will order soon and will be forever on my supportive list of Friends.  "Wings of the Pirate" is a completed novel that has been polished countless times and is ready to hand over to the Publisher once we reach our 250 preorder goal.  My good friend & Artist, Al Bringas has already done over 20 illustrations and will be finishing up the rest shortly.  If all goes well, you should have your copy of the book early in the spring of 2017.

Now is the time to jump in with a preorder!  It would be fantastic if everyone who follows the project grabs an ebook or goes for the special 1st edition, autographed  ’Hardcover’ (a rarity for Authors in the world of ebook & paperback), then we would be at our goal in no time.  If you’re interested in seeing this book in print, sign up for a preorder or tell someone who loves old fashioned adventure with seaplanes, Air Pirates and mix of colorful characters in the South Pacific to get theirs!

Every order really makes a difference and your support is important to me and very much appreciated.

Thank You!!

Eric H. Heisner
