STARFLIGHT PUBLISHED!

#1 Post by roncollins »

I've been semi-quiet the past month or so, and will probably be a little sporadic the next few weeks. As you may know, the reason for this is that I've been deep in the process of writing and publishing Stealing the Sun, a five-book SF series that I'm having a blast putting out. On top of that, I'll have the first book of what could be a SF/Thriller series out in Febrary...but I digress.

The exciting news is that Book 1, STARFLIGHT has just gone live everywhere.

Here's a brief overview of the book, and linkage to all the places you can get it...

Please don't feel any pressure here whatsoever, but early sales velocity is very important to a book's success. So if you enjoy space based SF and you were already considering reading it, please think about doing it earlier than later. [sheepish grin]

And, just because I like it so much, here's the cover...

If you read it and like it, book 2 will be available in mid-December. Just in time for Christmas, right?

Book 3 arrives in mid-January.

At that point, perhaps I'll sleep a bit.

Yeah, right...

It's been quite rewarding ... we'll see how rewarded it is over time.

Yes, parsing words is a major pastime for people going through book releases. :)

You really all should go out and purchase (and review!) this book. It's fabulous. Way to go, Ron, and I hope it brings you much-deserved success! ;-D

Thanks, John! The more the merrier, of course. And did I mention Christmas is coming? :)

Just getting started on the book now. Had to wait until I finished Heinlein's 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' ;-D
Only three chapters in and yeah, it's good stuff. I'm hooked! Looking forward to the rest of this one and the series. You had me at wormhole and quantum entaglement. :geek:

Thanks!

As John noted, reviews on Amazon and elsewhere are as valuable as gold when it comes to word of mouth. :) (no pressure ... just sayin')

Well, win some, lose some. The Win-Ds choked on the stretch run, but at least I've got the release of Book 2, STARBURST to fall back on. It's just gone live everywhere. Read about it and find links here.

Here's the cover ...
