Progress on GV
In response to many of your inquiries, I am working on a fifth book in the Genellan series, but I am loathe to provide any encouragement. My output is slow. As I reach some milestones I will try to keep you posted of my progress, but, again, please forgive my glacial pace. I wrestle with the muse everyday. It is not for lack of trying.
Up on Smashwords
I have completed the process of putting my books up on SMASHWORDS. This will provide availability for just about any format. And just about any major distribution, including:
- Barnes and Noble
- Sony
- Kobo
- Apple
- Diesel
Up on Kindle
Sales on Amazon's Digital Text Platform (newly renamed to Kindle Direct Publishing) and better known as the Kindle Store have been encouraging. Thank you very much.
Hard Copy
Hard copies of all books (in trade paperback format) as well as electronic copies are still available through Third Millennium Publishing.This was my first online publisher, so I would ask that if all else is equal, give them a try when buying the books.
Genellan Updates
I have finally started on the fifth installment of the Genellan series, although do not be overly encouraged. My daily output is miserably anemic. When I started writing Genellan, there was no internet or even serious email. Now there are blogs and Facebook and Twitter, not to mention seriously distracting computer environments like WOW and Online Poker. Or GPS tools. Or online flight tools. Or smart phones. Or getting lost in Wikipedia, jumping from one link to the next. I've given them all a look and a try, and the impact on concentration and discipline (especially discipline) is telling. Suffice to say, I am still trying, and I honestly believe I will not stop until they pull this keyboard from my cold, dead hands. Just bear with me and pray the old brain keeps working. Again...thank you all for buying my books this past year. It is greatly appreciated. SGG
With all the new digital marketing outlets I am seeing a respectable rise in book sales. This has to be due entirely to word of mouth from you. I cannot thank you enough. Keep telling your friends about Genellan. Pass the word. And thanks for sticking with me.
The cover art by Jeremy Ellis is awesome. GIV and now GII! Check it
