I just finalized an Author signing event in San Diego for June and am working on lining up some events in Los Angeles and Austin.  To keep updated on all happenings and book release info sign up for my bi-monthly Lean Dog newsletter at www.leandogproductions.com

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

Whoops ... I meant, it would be great to get nominated for the Staff Syndicate for OCTOBER. What month is it now?? A November nomination would be fine but an October "Staff Syndicate selection" would be better!

Thanks! EH

Hello Air Pirates! 

Well, last weekend I had a few of my very talented filmmaking friends over to the backyard to shoot a video of a few pages from the "Wings of the Pirate" novel.  We had a great time doing it - our amazing Cinematographer, Dan Farnam did the whole scene in 1 continuous shot.  Hopefully you will experience some of the book’s colorful characters and fun homage to classic adventure stories.  While you’re at the site, don’t wait, place your order for the ebook or Hardcover and become part of the team that makes this book happen!!

Thank You! - your adventurous Seaplane Captain, EH

ps.  you may have noticed we need more funds to finish our CGI work with the monkey.
