The Redemption of Erâth: Proof in Print

Look what came in the mail!

Look what came in the mail!

I want to share a very quick update with you all: the print proof of History of Erâth arrived in the mail on Saturday, and it looks (for the most part) gorgeous! For all the detail in the cover, the image is crisp and sharp, the text is well laid-out, and the iconography (chapter headers, etc.) look fantastic. The only thing I need to fix is the internal resolution of the map image—it’s a little pixelated at the moment.

That’s really all I have right now—it’s looking like we’re well on track for a full release on October 5! Remember, you can already pre-order the Kindle or iBooks version now for only $0.99, by clicking the following links! And if you’d like both the History of Erâth and Consolation for free, just sign up for my newsletter below!

The Redemption of Erâth: Progress on History

Redemption of Erâth History CoverThings are beginning to move fast on the History of Erâth, and I’m getting excited! The print proof of the book is on its way to me as I type this, and the eBook version is available for pre-order on Amazon, iBooks, Smashwords and more! I’m happy with the interior layout design, and I’m hoping against hope that I don’t notice too many further errors when I read through the print proof.

Having said that, there are a few updates I wanted to make you aware of. I originally said that I’d be offering the History of Erâth as a free companion book to the Redemption of Erâth series. This is still the case, but I’ve had to slightly change the way I’m going about it. Because of the nature of Kindle Direct Publishing, I can only run a free offer if I opt for KDP Select. However, if I choose KDP Select, I’m prohibited from distributing the book through any other channels for 90 days, and I don’t want this: I’d like it to be available on Apple’s iBooks, for example.

As a result, I’ve had to choose the minimum price possible, which is $0.99. And while you can definitely pay $0.99 for it on Amazon or iBooks, I’m also going to be offering a 100% discount coupon to download the book directly through Smashwords. This will be available throughout October and November, up until The Redemption of Erâth: Exile is released in December.

In the meantime, The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation can still be yours for free by signing up for my monthly newsletter. I’ve only had a few sign-ups so far, and you’re missing out on the start of an epic adventure. On top of that, the discount coupon for History of Erâth is going to go out in the newsletter, so if you do want to grab a copy of History of Erâth for less than $0.99, that’ll be your chance to do so!

So go ahead: sign up, get a free book, or pre-order History of Erâth on Kindle or iBooks now! I’m looking forward to sharing the building of the world of Erâth with you all, and it’ll give you some great insight into the background of the events set in motion in The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation.

The Redemption of Erâth: The Future of Erâth

I think my bipolar is taking an upward swing, because all of a sudden I’m trying to do a million things at once with regards to The Redemption of Erâth. I’ve sent out advertisements on Facebook, Goodreads and Twitter, I’ve sent advance copies of books to beta readers, and I’ve started reading, writing and editing like crazy. All in a matter of a few weeks. Egads!

Anyway, it leads me to ponder the future of The Redemption of Erâth, and I think the timeline looks something a little bit like this:

  • September/October 2015: Publish The History of Erâth as a free Kindle download and in paperback
  • November 2015: Write Legends and Myths of Erâth as part of NaNoWriMo
  • December 2015: Release the second novel, The Redemption of Erâth: Exile
  • January-March/April 2016: Complete the first draft of the third novel, Ancients and Death
  • March 2016: Publish Legends and Myths of Erâth as a free Kindle download and in paperback

I don’t have much of a plan after that, but that’s already a lot for me to contemplate—especially for someone who never normally has a plan at all!

The good news of all of this is that, if I manage to stick to these deadlines (what a terrifying word!), I can send ARCs out to people—something I failed utterly to do with The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation. Perhaps I can generate a little bit of buzz over the book, and do slightly better than I have so far with Consolation (less than thirty copies sold in over a year). My ideal? Achieve the level of success Nancy Chase has had with her book, The Seventh Magpie. Two thousand copies in six months—incredible!

The hopeful idea here is that, with free supporting material in the form of The History of Erâth and Legends and Myths of Erâth, I can generate more interest in the full-length novels. I had intended to publish these supporting books anyway—I’m just bringing the timeline forward a little.

What do you think? Are you excited for more adventures in Erâth?
