Books Worth Reading
I’m thinking about self-producing a dramatic audiobook of my SF novel The Illusion of Gravity – sometime around early summer.
We’ll be doing it for fun … but if by some miracle it generates sales, I’ll spread the joy among whoever participates.
Do you want to be a voice actor? Let me know.
This is the latest rendering from Twinartdesign. Comments?
Twinartdesign just sent me the latest cover composition for Resilient and I can’t keep it to myself …
It’s still in development … but I really like it.
Check out the Sanskrit neon sign! Linda says it’s too bright … what do you think?

I just finished some work on this. It’s a teaser – the book isn’t written yet – but I’ve outlined 23 chapters and I think it has promise.

Retired deputy sheriff Eric Burton runs a clandestine online store that caters to buyers who live on other planets. Buyers who, as far as anybody knows, don’t exist.
When a fellow merchant goes missing, an ancient society with off-world connections tasks Burton with protecting their secrets.
My Amazon Kindle Scout campaign just finished. Here’s what I know about the results so far.
Quantum Soul received 1,400 page visits. I have no way of knowing how many nominations were made, but I’m hopeful.
My Facebook promotions were a bust – I got over 6,000 post likes for the Scout ad, but Amazon registered only 38 click-throughs. My 99 Cent sale on The Illusion of Gravity garnered 2,000 + likes, but sold 3 books. The vast majority of my Facebook engagement results came out of Nepal and India.
Did the audience recognize the book’s South Asian cultural references? Did the cover resonate there more than elsewhere? Did Facebook show my ad in Nepal and India more than other places? Who knows.
Now I wait to see if Amazon will pick up my book as a Kindle title. And, I have to decide whether to finish Book 3 in the series – Resilient – now in 3rd draft at 90,000 words, or finish Silken Thread so I can see how a romance title does for me.
