Rick Heinz sent an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

Monthly Update! So, my publication date is now 11/1/2016. Much closer. I have 3 days left to finish my line edits. I’m on schedule. That stuff is boring. 

WE HAVE COVERS TO VOTE ON!!!

Okay. Here is the deal. Tweet me @crankybolt or email me, or even comment here. Each of these covers is a design direction. 

Not the final cover. By any stretch. These are just looking at which avenue we should head down. 

Option #1

This cover is filled with arcane imagery in an organic cover design where text blurs with the artwork. If you think we should head in this direction, even with different colors and would like to see more usages. Vote for this one. 

Option #2

This cover is closer to the original cover art. The intent of this design path is to create something that is more like an arcane tome. A spellbook one could hold. If you like this direction. Vote here!

Option #3

This one is the most off putting at first. Yet it’s important to know that this is just a place holder for an Illustrated cover with a character (Mike) in his green trenchcoat with the black sun on the horizon. Or of his coat tattered on an I-beam above the Chicago Skyline. I know it may be hard to visualize, but if you like that design direction. Vote here!

Option #4:

Don’t like any? Then say so!

Send me your gut reactions and your initial feedback! Tweet them out, email me, or throw paper rocks at me with notes on them.

    Rick Heinz liked an update for One Murder More

    I’ve got a deal in the very beginning, baby steps; if you haven’t yet reviewed One Murder More on Amazon could today be the day? It might help to move that deal along! You don’t have to have purchased it on Amazon to review it there. 

    Log in as you would to buy anything on Amazon, enter my name or One Murder More in the search bar (or use link below), scroll down to "leave a review" & choose a star total. That’s it! 

    You can leave a phrase or sentence e.g., "Looking forward to the next one", "Loved Camper the dog!", but it’s not necessary. 

    If you gave the book to a friend or family member and are comfortable passing along this request to them to review it, that would be awesome, too. 

    Thank you for all of your kindnesses and support! 

    Kris

    ps cranking on Maren Book 2 now, woo-hoo!

      Rick Heinz liked an update for Asteroid Made of Dragons

      Physical copies have begun to ship! You’ll get a notification in your email - so check it obsessively. 

      We also have our first ’industry’ review in Publisher’s Weekly - and it’s...kind of a great review?

      A quick excerpt:

        "An unlikely band of heroes—some of whom are trying to kill one another—must gather together in order to save their world from the return of an ancient menace in an excellent, irreverent mix of sword-and-sorcery fantasy and SF. Adams’s flippant tone recalls Terry Pratchett, taking the skewering of tropes down a very dark path as he establishes a fantasy world built from the ashes of a technological one." -- Publisher’s Weekly  

      I have already reread this full review several times and I’m hornswaggled.  BEFUZZLED, EVEN. The potential impact of reviews like this cannot truly be calculated. Do you smell that? It smells like the fresh Legitimacy in the oven, how weird is that?

      I will also now awkwardly now segue to YOUR reviews that are even more crucial and potent. Here’s one of my many updates that yammers about it. Many of you are already reading the ebook and will be receiving the physical book in just a few days - as you finish go ahead and put up a review! You won’t be able to log them on Amazon until the book officially releases on 4/5 - but you can put them up on Goodreads whenever to ’store’ them, then it will be easy to copy and paste on launch day. YES, I know it’s a pain - please do it anyway? 

      More news as it comes in - and that goes for you folks as well. The moment you receive your physical copies, you best be sending me some cool pictures of you with the paperback to @gderekadams on Twitter. Or post them here - or tag me on Facebook - or attach them to a passing carrier pigeon!
