If the 3,000 words isn’t a #1 choice… Then try again. When you hone in on that “Where the hell” result? Do it about 25 times and you have an unputdownable 75,000 word novel.
I’m very happy to say I was able to give Amy a #1 result. When I read the opening, I was trying to go to the next page only to eventually remember there was no next page.
#Sonofabitch!
Amy has worked with Craig on the Age of Expansion integration with her story and characters, Andrew Dobell on her covers, Jen McDonnell with her editing and countless others she mentioned in her author notes, and others she doesn’t know about who continue to help LMBPN Publishing (my indie publishing group) move forward.
However, NONE OF US would be allowed to work on these stories if it wasn’t for you and the other fans who support us, review us, connect on Facebook and tell your friends, so thank you most of all.
(For those who have only read this series, please give me a moment to speak to those who have been around the Kurtherian Gambit Universe for a while.)
Some have asked where Bethany Anne fits into the Age of Expansion and I answer it like this: The Kurtherian Gambit (Books 01-21 of Bethany Anne’s story (#20 due Christmas 2017, #21 due Valentines Day / 02.14.18) are a version of Star Wars.
I’d like to think Episodes IV-VI (the original trilogy), but that is just me hoping we don’t seem like Episodes I-III.
When Bethany Anne finishes in Book 21, only the first part of her job is complete. She will need to finish the other part, and that will start her version of Star Trek.
Except, she won’t travel with a single ship, and she won’t be relatively harmless. There are a lot of Kurtherians to deal with, and they won’t play nice, either.
Bethany Anne will be seen from time to time in the Age of Expansion stories, so look out for her.
Right now, I’m working with two individuals (Jens the project owner / lead and Jurgen, another fan who is helping significantly) to translate Death Becomes Her and Queen Bitch into German. To sell effectively into the German Market, we aren’t planning to go all-in on Amazon. Why? Because the German speaking market (GAS – German, Austria and Switzerland among others) do not run on Amazon nearly as much as the US does.
We can reach a LOT of the English speaking market (worldwide) with just Amazon. Not true for German and other languages. I think the method that the Tolino Allian (think of them as a Kindle competitor – now owned by KOBO) implements is fascinating.
However, we (LMBPN) have no plans at this moment for stepping out of the Kindle Unlimited association with Amazon for stories written in English.
However, for non-English books? The future is open.
I’ll try to continue providing insights that we learn as I write these author and publisher notes. I hope you enjoy the insights – but more importantly, I hope you love our characters.
Ad Aeternitatem,
Michael Anderle
