Short story collection file off to the editor!

Huzzah! And why do I do this! I’ve stared at the stories for so long now I hate them! And love them again! I need a drink!

PS: Keep watching this space for details about the upcoming Kickstarter. I’m still waiting to see if there are any cover art sketches in progress I can use to make the Kickstarter look good. And, yeah, enjoy the quiet before the storm.

Spent the morning going over beta reads for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION.

I’ve got another to go through, later — but there’s a limit to how many times I can read a text before my eyes begin to glaze over. I will say that so far I got at least one comment that made me swear at myself for not seeing that possibility right away, so the beta read was worth it, right there. I figure I can get TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, VOLUME I: SHADOW OF THE TOWER to the editor by the end of the month. Then the Kickstarter in November, and hopefully publication by February.

Huzzah!

Progress report on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.

There is a bit of news, in fact.

  • First off, there is going to be a Kickstarter: today I started putting together what I’ll need to set one up. I expect that the start date will be November 1, 2020, with a February 2021 fulfillment date.
  • The working title will be TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, VOLUME I: SHADOW OF THE TOWER. 10 stories, including an excerpt from the upcoming MORGAN BAROD novel and a Tom Vargas novelette!
  • I don’t know if this one is going to have an audiobook. Audible has been moderately incompetent about approving a commercial version; it’s possibly not fair to put my producer through all those hoops over this again. Or at least so soon.
  • But! We have an editor for the short story collection, and I’ve almost formalized getting an artist for the cover.

So things are moving along.
