This is just a quick heads-up that the first set of edits for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL. 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS is done, and so is the cover! We're going to be doing another passthrough, and I still have to finish formatting the book, but we should have digital rewards ready sometime in August, with physical books to follow after.  We're aiming for early fulfilment, so here's hoping.

Thanks again for backing the project.

And so it begins on TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, VOL. 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS.

We are getting there! From my email to my book cover guy:

TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, VOL. 2: LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS is not ready, but it is ready enough that I can put together a book cover order. Looks like it's going to clock in at ten stories, 345 pages, and $4.99/$13.99 in retail Kindle/paperback price. God curse all inflation anyway.

Still on track for a September fulfilment! Keep watching the skies! And buy my other books here.

Surveys away!

Be sure to check your inboxes. Also: the preorder store is open! It also features some deals on getting signed copies of my books, so keep that in mind. Just bear in mind that TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION VOL 2 is currently being checked by the beta readers, and won't be going to the editor until the end of the month. That will affect shipping dates.

But we are on our way!

Surveys and call for Beta Readers.

I'm having Backerkit check over my Pledge Manager: once that's done, surveys will go out. Also - and sorry if you've already signed up for it; my brain is Swiss cheese right now - if you were interested in being a beta reader, drop me a line. I'll be getting the stories out to the editor by the end of the month, so we're talking quick turnaround here.

Thanks again for being a backer!

And it's done! 304% funded, several stretch goals hit.

I surpassed all the metrics on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 Kickstarter, which is the proper benchmark - but I did better than I expected when matched up against the TINSEL RAIN Kickstarter. I think novel crowdfunding just does better than short story collection crowdfunding does, but I'm happy with this being in the same ballpark. I think I also learned a few things this time about promotion, too. Every little bit helps, hey? 

Now comes the work-work part: getting all of this stuff out the door. I'll be setting up a Backerkit store in the next day or so while I'm checking in with my editor to see what her schedule is like. I'll also be on double-duty getting the stories licked into shape for beta-reading duty - contact me if you're interested in that - and starting my production runs. Etc, etc, etc. Fortunately, I've done this before

Thank you all for your support. This doesn't happen without you.
