Hey there Adventureketeers!

A quick update before I delve back into the depths of grad schooliness to let you know that An Unattractive Vampire is Audible’s Daily Deal. For the rest of today (Tuesday February 21st) (2017) The Unattractive Audiobook is only $3.95. Why that’s less than $4.95! (I think...I’m in school for writing, not math.) That’s an entire book--hours of entertainment--for less money than three songs on iTunes. Just the thing for road trips down desolate, lonely roads whose secrets are buried deep from all but the unluckiest outsiders. Nothing says "ignore the feeling that the woods/desert/endless void is watching you with a vampire comedy read by a soothing British voice. 

"PUT IT IN YOUR EARS!" ~ G. Derek Adams, author of Asteroid Made of Dragons

Greetings Jackolytes,

The exciting word on the street is that Sync City is now being shipped, and Jack is soon to be out in the wild! If you have pre-ordered a paperback, then you should receive an email from Inkshares telling you the details. From what I can work out, they’re doing it alphabetically according to the name you used when registering with Inkshares. So if you are later in the alphabet, you may not have received the email yet.

If you want a little more information about me and the book, Sync City’s homepage is here. You can also follow my author’s Facebook page here.

If you haven’t jumped on to the Sync City express, then you can do so at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Book Depository. and don’t forget to share!

Cheers,

Peter

Hi everyone, 

Sorry for the long delay between updates.

Draft 1 is finished and has been sent out to select alpha readers. "What is an alpha reader?" you may ask. They are people who have agreed to read the novel very early in the process to help clean it up prior to sending it off for professional editing. This enables me to have someone else look it over and see all the things that I (and MS Word) missed in terms of me knowing what I meant, or details that I missed, or even the ever elusive missing comma.

Initial responses have been encouraging towards tone and ld building, but all have mentioned the constructive criticism that I need to make it a better novel.

Meanwhile, I was recruited to write a chapter in a technical book. Ok, so less recruited then I asked a question "but what about a chapter on ..." and got back the response "can you have it written in 3 weeks?"

So I am pleased to announce that  this has been published:

Chapter 9 "Telecom security 101: What You need to know" is mine.

Best of all you  can download  it here for free (requires signup): Peerlyst eBook 2 - Essentials of Cybersecurity

In other news, I have updated my website with details about my non-fiction book chapters and links to my various social media accounts. I will be adding a template and artwork soon.

So thank you all again for sticking with me, and I will let you know when the editing process is over and I have an idea when, where, and how my novel will be published. Until then I will be working on the next writing project.

Best regards 

Eric

Hello Fellow Tacky Ones!

In the meantime, I’m working on getting the book cleaned up as much as possible on my end.  I had the day off from work today, and here is a sneak peek of what I’ve been up to:

Cricket has been worthless as an editorial assistant.

Friends!

Quick but exciting update:

Devil’s Call went to the copy editor (the lovely Jessica Gardner) this morning, a mere two months later than we originally thought it would, and the word on the street is I should have her comments in a week or so, assuming there isn’t something terribly wrong lurking in the manuscript somewhere.

The next step after copy editing is proofreading. I will update y’all when that happens.

In the meantime, those of you who have attempted to place orders and been unable to, the site recently went through an overhaul and the order page is functional again.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me and this project for as long as you have. A year ago, this thing was 75 pages long and begging for an overhaul. As of this morning, it’s around 200 pages and actually, you know. Looks like a novel. If it weren’t for all of your support, that wouldn’t have happened.
