An Improbable Journey has been released, and it's doing remarkably well, by far my best received work to date. I'm incredibly excited about that! I'm working now on the next story in the series. Long-time readers may know that I have already started on a sequel to it, but that one takes place several years in the future, and isn't a story I'm ready to finish right now. Corwin is going to have a few more adventures before he gets to that one, I think.
More tomorrow!
My third title is available on Amazon's Kindle store. And now that also includes Amazon.ca's brand new Kindle store, exciting for me as a Canadian!
I have not enrolled this book in the Amazon KDP Select program, so I will be making it available as free eBooks here on the site very shortly; my current plan is to get those ready for tomorrow. I expect I'll also put it up on GoodReads and at Smashwords as well.
As usual, An Improbable Journey is $0.99.
"Marooned on an uninhabited junk yard world that lacks the basic necessities of life, Corwin Koell finds what he needs with the help of a tiny robot, but escape will only come at a cost."
Sorry everyone, I really thought I was going to get the An Improbable Journey story out in the store by now, but I've been working on a HUGE post for GeekBeat on the new Communities that they've introduced. This has taken up so much of my time that I haven't been able to put the book together. Tomorrow the post should be done, and the book will follow right after.
Are you on Google+? If so, join me in the new Fiction Improbable community I've set up!
I post everything to G+ as well as to here, and you'll get the input of the community as well. Hope to see you there!
After my minor editing sweep through An Improbable Journey the other day, something nagged at my mind and wouldn't let go. Today it finally started bothering me enough that even though I am otherwise completely ready to release it to the Amazon store and put it up here as an eBook, I'm doing another editing pass through it, and this is actually a partial rewrite.
It's not a bad story as it is, but I think it could be a lot better. As it stands, Corwin has a pretty easy time of it on the planet until the end. Things get really difficult for him then, but it's already the end! Where's the tension? Where's the conflict? There really isn't any. Sure, he has to deal with a completely inhospitable environment, but Aru shows up and makes that problem essentially go away without any real effort on Corwin's part. So I've got an idea or two I'm going to implement in the story, which hopefully won't take too long. Bear with me a bit longer!
