Brian Fitzpatrick liked an update for Sunshine is Forever

Campers!

I’m working on sending a personalized update to everyone who preordered Sunshine is Forever! It’s gonna take a few days-there are over 700 of you...in the meantime, I’ve launched an Inkshares page for my next book-KARID. If you’d head to this link and click FOLLOW that would be awesome. Oh yeah, and you can read the first chapter! I won’t be funding this book until after Sunshine is Forever is out, but I’ve loved my experience with Inkshares, and unless something changes, my plan is to publish my next book with them as well.

Thanks for the support!

    His journalism career ended badly. Hers hasn’t started. If they can’t discover who robbed a San Francisco museum, they’ll both wind up in the obituaries. Order now for some high stakes larceny!

    Brian Fitzpatrick liked an update for Mission 51

    thank you! Thank you!! Thank You!!!

    After one full week of the Nerdist Sci-Fi Contest, Mission 51 is sitting in First Place! That is fantastic!

     

    I am sincerely grateful for the outpouring of support for me and Mission 51 this past week. The whole thing is a bit scary. It’s scary just putting the story out there. It’s scary asking for pre-orders. It’s even scary being in 1st place. And believe me, I’m not the scary sort. This is just way different than anything I do in my usual life.

    I do feel very good about the book. It has a fun feel, with serious undertones. The historical fiction side includes plenty of real people, places, and things. My hope is that readers want to check  Wikipedia and other sources frequently while reading the book, to get a better and better feel for Mat’s world in 1954-1969. It has a lot of fun detail.

    I’m proud of the "Staff Pick" and the "The Great Sci-Fi for the 21st Century and Beyond Syndicate" badges. It’s also humbling and cool to read the great recommendations Mission 51 has garnered. I’m grateful for it all!

    There are still five weeks remaining in the contest, and there are now almost 70 projects participating. Twenty of them are now on the leaderboard. So I am grateful for where Mission 51 is right now, but I am still asking for your support. Many thanks to those who have already placed their pre-order. For those of you who have not, I humbly ask that you please take a moment to consider, and then another moment to go ahead and pre-order Mission 51. I would be forever grateful! :-)

    Thanks again, and Peace!

      "Cinematic." 

      "Easy to visualize every scene."

      "I love the dynamic between the characters." 

      "Amazing world-building." 

      "Page turning action sequences."

      These are all things beta-readers have said they liked about Through The Ghost. Now it’s your turn to make that a reality. You followed this book when it was simply trying to make a name for itself among the thousands of novels pitched on this site. Now its time to push forward from the crowd of contestants in the Nerdist Sci-Fi contest. If you’ve already transferred over to follow/pre-order fantastic, if not COME ON! With your help Through the Ghost will bring the fun of a "graphic novel", video game, or movie to the page. Follow the link to the new contest page.

        Brian Fitzpatrick liked an update for Mission 51

        Mission 51 background stuff

        Torkiyan missions to Cerulea (the planet Earth) are always organized by two factions within their government: one that is interested in spreading the beliefs and culture of the Torkiyan people, and another more interested in the commercial and financial aspects of the endeavor. The ideology of these competing yet complementary views are clearly spelled out to the crews of the missions in their Mission Directives:

        1. To spread Torkiyan Knowledge, Wisdom, and Truth

        2. To advance the technology of endemic intelligent species with the goal of eventually connecting the two worlds

        When the Torkiyan Mission 51 to Cerulea was organized about 500 Earth-years ago, two individuals represented these two factions: Petrus, a Torkiyan Ambassador and father of our protagonist Mat, and Major Tran, the Director of the Space Administration.

        Mat’s main loyalty was to his beloved father. In that sense, the Mission Directive to spread Torkiyan Knowledge, Wisdom, and Truth was more important than the commercial/financial directive. At least that’s how Mat felt in the beginning. Things changed with the realities of his situation on Earth. Humans made it difficult to be altruistic, and he needed to survive.

        The Spanish Missions of Alta California


        ~La Misión de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is mentioned in the closing chapters of Mission 51.~

        Several ideas came together when I first imagined the story of Mission 51. I wanted to honor my immigrant parents. I wanted to contribute to the immigration narrative in general, even if it was in some small way. I wanted to be honest about human nature, about our virtues and our defects. I thought about the waves of immigration that have come into the United States, and how they have changed the very face of America. I thought about how invaders have decimated native cultures. And then it all crystalized when I thought about the Spanish missions in California, and when I realized the notorious events in Area 51 occurred at the same time as my parents’ immigration to the US in 1954. The story simply had to be about missions and aliens! :D

        I am looking forward to the day this story is published. Pre-orders will make that happen, so I humbly request your help. If you have not pre-ordered yet, now is a great time! If you already have, I thank you very much! This is going to be fun! :D
