Hello "Wings of the Pirate" supporters!
I have been asked a good question by one of the supporters:
"Can you please tell me when the book I ordered back about 6 months ago will be mailed?????"
That is an excellent question!
Thank you so much for your order and support of my new adventure book "Wings of the Pirate". Without you it wouldn’t have hit its preorder goal of 250 copies. The publisher I am working with (Inkshares) on this title is a crowd supported publisher. The author runs a preorder campaign and if they hit their goal, the publisher knows there is interest in the book and they publish it. I turned in my completed manuscript to them after my campaign was completed and now they are in the process of publishing the book. Production includes: editing, cover design, formatting and proofing, etc.
I was informed that they are currently working on a lot of titles and mine should be completed in about 8-12 months. Ugh, that’s as long as my traditional NY Publisher takes with my novels. My primary goal with publishing with Inkshares was to gain connections to their Film/TV agent UTA (United Talent Agency) who is one of the top three agencies in Los Angeles. I’m working toward making my stories into films, so this was an important step. I will keep you updated as the info is presented to me.
Thank you for your patience,
Sincerely, Eric H. Heisner

Greetings, future readers of THE LOVE FOOL!
I’m sure, like me, you are all dying to get your hands on THE LOVE FOOL. But in a world of instant gratification, some things are worth the classic wait. We have to keep in mind the fortunate success THE LOVE FOOL funding campaign achieved. I’m happy to be able to say that my novel will be published.
Inkshares is a small publishing outfit pushing out a good amount of books, all of which are funded by readers like you. I appreciate my collaboration with Inkshares as I know they will be taking the steps needed to get the most polished work in your hands. And these steps take time. If you’re interested to know more about book publishing process and steps a book goes through with Inkshares, please check out their blog post: http://blog.inkshares.com/post/154475375840/a-note-on-pub-dates-from-the-inkshares-production
Where is THE LOVE FOOL in all this? Well, I know that it is in line behind other books that have been funded before me. And, Inkshares is getting through their list. I support small business and am confident that Inkshares will take their time to make sure THE LOVE FOOL is presented in impeccable shape. Afterall, this is why I went this route to publish THE LOVE FOOL, rather than simply self-publishing. I want that other set of professional eyes to go through and make sure THE LOVE FOOL is presented to you and the public with prestigious and impeccable quality.
With all that said, it’s looking like THE LOVE FOOL could come to you in mid-late 2017; but I will update you with a confirmed release date as soon as I get my production schedule.
Your ever grateful author,
Lorenzo il Magnifico
Is it obvious by how much my knees are shaking that I’m new here? I’m not going to lie, I’m absolutely terrified to be doing this. I’ve shared my books with several friends and beta readers, but I feel as though this is the first time I’m taking it to the potential of a wider audience - not too sure how everyone deals so well with the nerves of throwing your baby in the ring.
