Specifically, I have tied my previous preorder record! It’s very cool. But breaking it would be even cooler.
SIX DAYS LEFT to preorder TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2. Plus, a record tied!

ONE. WEEK. TO GO! Before TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2 is on sale!
With NINE days left before the launch of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2: Kickstarter books are ordered!
The books have achieved their final print form, and are being printed even as we speak. TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS will show up on my doorstep a couple of days into September, and I plan to start the process of getting them out the door as soon as possible. Accordingly, I will be locking orders by the first of September. Now is the time to adjust your pledges! Now is also the time to hit the pre-order store!

Hurry, Star Blazers! There are only eleven days left to preorder TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2!
I have to buckle down and do some proofreading.
Too much videogaming, not enough book proofing. That stops now. I will get half the book proofed this afternoon if it mildly inconveniences me.
Got the print version of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2 in the glidepath, too.
Just got word back from the folks at KDP that TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS is a go for a September 1st release. I’m getting the proof copy Sunday, and I plan to go through it ASAP for one last bug hunt. After that, I update the files, wait for them to take, and then I’ll order what I need to fulfill my Kickstarter obligations. After that, well, it’s just a matter of getting the sampler finished, and then this sucker is done.
TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2 Update, 08/13/2024.
The final second passthrough edits are back, and now I start my own process. To wit, I will now go through the full text of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS, looking for any little bits to sand down. Once I have, I convert the text into mobi/epub/pdf form and get it out to Kickstarter backers. Once that’s done, I put the original file in the amazing KDP machine, and… get started prepping the Kindle and paperback versions.
And then it’s done.
Pre-order today!

9/10th done on second passthrough edits for TFR Vol 2.
We got one more to chew through, and then I can move forward in getting TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS up and online. This Friday for the first digital fulfilments is still a viable target date. Certainly we are on track for a September 1st digital drop. Ask me next week how we’re doing with the paperback book itself. I mean, as it stands we’re ahead of schedule, but no promises yet.
Working on updating my KDP items.
It turns out that some of the ad copy I wrote for it, well, kind of sucks. In my defense, that is a rather specialized form of writing that I’ve received no training in, and would happily hand over to somebody who has actual expertise in it. Alas, those people rather reasonably expect to be paid for their efforts, which is where the first stumbling blocks to that plan appear.
