Hi everyone,

I'm working a series called The Henry Gallant Saga. The first two books have had a good start on Kindle/KU and I am looking for more ways to promote the books. I've tried a Goodreads giveaway, several Blog Tours and Facebook ads. I would appreciate any other suggests, in particular, a blog tour with strong Sci Fi bloggers.

Thank you.

I'm looking for reviews. I'd be happy to gift anyone a copy of Part One in exchange for an honest review. Just email me at jackconnerbooks@gmail.com with the email address linked to your Kindle and I'll send it right over.

When I have enough reviews, I can start promoting and give it a proper launch. I can't wait!

Hi all,
The first volume of my scifi-thriller series was released last week and the ebook is now on sale for 99 cents. Sales have been slow but steady even though I'm still waiting on that first review. Not sure what others have seen for reviews coming in. I thought I'd have at least one by now. Anyway, here's a short blurb about the book.
All the best.

New Release Now 99 cents​

Hey guys! I wanted to let you know that my sci fi novel, The Armor of God, will be 100% FREE (down from $6.99) for three days, starting Monday, December 22nd.

A little about the book:

The Armor of God by Diego Valenzuela

The first book in this epic mecha themed sci-fi trilogy is set in a once-beautiful planet razed by a malignant alien virus called the Laani. Having effectively shielded itself from the wreckage of the world, the last remaining human settlement is Roue. Within this domed city, the last humans live comfortable lives, awaiting their inevitable extinction.

In the year of his eighteenth birthday, Ezra Blanchard must take part in military service, but when the army discovers that Ezra's blood possesses extremely rare qualities, he is placed to be trained in Zenith, a top secret facility hidden from the citizens of Roue where Ezra discovers humanity's last glimmer of hope: the Creux.

These mysterious suits of armor of unknown origin and unimaginable power are the only weapon capable of battling the Laani virus on a microscopic level, and one of them can only be piloted by Ezra, a young man who doesn't even believe humanity has a future.

Ezra enters an exciting new world full of new friends, new enemies, and new challenges, quickly understanding that training to pilot the Creux is not easy for body, mind, or spirit, and that Zenith, and its inhabitants, could hold some very dark secrets.

Watch the epic cinematic trailer!

Amazon Link: bit.ly/armorofgodnovel

This novel has received great reviews, even from best-selling authors such as Piers Anthony or Maria A. Escandon. If you like action, shocking plot twists, and have a hankering for science fiction, download The Armor of God and give it a try! You won't be sorry!

Hi everybody

I've only just found this thread but it's great to find a community of like-minded writers.  I wrote my first book 25 yrs ago but only got round to publishing it this year.  It's pure space opera and selling really well.

The new book,Two Heirs, is more Science Fantasy and is still to get off the ground so I'm running a countdown deal until the 23rd Dec.

I see a lot of comments on various threads about needing a professional editor and professional covers and while I agree they add value, it's hard to quantify that value in terms of additional sales generated and even harder to justify laying out the cash until you've got an income stream coming in.  It seems like a bit of a Catch 22 situation.

Anyway, have a good Xmas everybody

Hey, to all the new people!!!

 

[Tommy Muncie]

Hi, I'm Tommy, I've posted enough about my first book, but I'll post in here to say I'm an SF writer and I lean more towards absurd science and impossibility and a bit of black comedy for the mix. Case in point: I really love Guardians of the Galaxy. You get the idea. I'm also a fanboy for Iain Banks although the irony is I don't like his sci-fi much, because I preferred the contemporary stuff he wrote. If you want to see the two styles mixed in the way I always hoped, read Transition. That's one of those books I read where I said 'I want to write like THAT.' I like to think I've gotten somewhere close to success. My first book is a kind of love letter to my late hero. If only because my characters drink enough to knock out a boat full of sailors, or so one person told me. I've read Asimov and Baxter and I watch Brian Cox and documentaries about Hawking, but I'm not an academic science person at all and I find it hard to take life that seriously anyway.

Hope I might find some friends here, and some good books by indie authors because I'm running out of Peter F Hamilton novels!

 

[Tyler Danann]

Hi there gang.

Well my thing has always been more Heinlen, Lovecraft (he did some Sci-Fi as well as horror) and to an extent Hubbard (Battlefield Earth author).

People ramble about Asimov, but his style seemed dry, going off the synopsis' of his I read anyways.

Only a couple of years ago I penned the first of my hopefully lengthy Sci-Fi, Post Apocalyptic Epic Series. Behold the Chronicles of Terra's Edge -

http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Hold-Terras-Edge-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B00GNTUNA4

The Series kicks off with the first book Mountain Hold and the struggles people have trying to survive a strange EMP-esque disaster.

You will have not experienced Post Apocalyptica like this ever before!

  Hi, I put my first novel, Species Survival, on KDP select Nov.2014. I had fun writing it. Like this board! Folks are cordial and very polite even to newbies, like myself. Appreciate you giving me a place to see what others are doing. Very useful.

Thank you,

Ken Hollar

 

[mphicks]

Hey all - been too long since I posted here, but if anyone's interested in checking out my stuff on the cheap, I've decided to enroll in KDP Select. Go give Convergence a borrow; it might satisfy a sci-fi fix or two, and the sequel is due out soon. Cheers!

My first science fiction novel. Actually, my first novel ever.

Species Survival by Ken Hollar
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFX2UO6

Science fiction novel exploring the last great frontier: the human mind.

Hiding in plain sight while on the run they sustain a tide of kindness in an unkind world without making waves that would attract the men and "dogs" hunting them.

Through extensive interviews the government has discovered that very young children have invisible friends that when parents ask to see them are always "in the other room." These entities, peripheroids, have given children directions about world peace, an eventuality for which the military is not prepared. Desperate to save themselves they blame peripheroids for the alarming increase in autism: a condition, at its worst, where the child is "in another room" in his or her mind and can't be reached by anyone, even their loving parents.

As they grow almost all children forget these invisible friends. Only two humans are known to have talked to peripheroids after age two. Both have been watched every second of their lives. She knows this. He doesn't.

When she finds him he discovers that the recurrent dream that has haunted him is really a suppressed memory. Can she help him unlock that memory and the untapped powers of his mind and body fast enough to survive until they find the children they seek who are, literally, the key to long term species survival for mankind?

Hi to all who meet here. It is great to have a thread for Sci-fi. I too write in that genre, adding dystopian and post apocalyptic to that title too. I have just self-published my series The Song of Forgetfulness after my publishers closed down. I have new covers and am thrilled with them. I have just set up a Facebook event with other authors in this genre and Fantasy and Steampunk. Would anyone be interested in coming along to the event? If so, could I put the link in here?
Once again, great to have this forum, thanks, Nikki.

 

[David Gunner]

Peripheroids I love that word and will use it in conversations to try and make myself sound sciency and smart.

Hi, everyone. I'm another person who's glad to have a thread for SF and related topics. And there's some pretty juicy stuff to be found, to boot.

I did a simultaneous release of parts 1 & 2 (of a planned five books) of my military science fiction series, the 'RN: series', just a few weeks ago as I read somewhere that you should release the first two parts of a series at the same time to satisfy the readers and thus help sales. It didn't work as sales have been pretty abysmal so far; though I've had quite a few loans.

The books are based around a future Royal Navy, or the Royal Navy Orbital as it's known, with special focus being on a modified gunboat, the RNO Bristol. The series will follow her exploits as she investigates a strange sector wide phenomena that brought with it a new enemy in the form of gigantic creatures that live in a thick green fog that surrounds the strange phenomena when ever it appears.

Book 1 - Less than zero, (10k introduction to the series) is from the view point of a reporter who gains access to one of the RNO's senior officers, who describes his duties and failures as commander of the Bristol in the battles with an alien race called 'The Koll', as they one by one destroy Earth's colonies until annexing the Earth itself. At which point the officer responds the only way he knows how.

Book 2 - Penance, (80k words) sees the Bristol sent on a mundane mission by The Koll. A mission where she first encounters and then battles the space creatures, which can be kilometres in length, and solves the mystery of the hundred missing star ships. A mystery that sees her nearly destroyed in a universe tearing scenario.

If you like new and interesting space battles, tough situations for space ships to deal with, murder, monsters and crews disintergrating under the stress of it all. Then this series is for you.

I'm trying to keep them fresh and interesting with believable(ish) science and physics.

And the better news!!!!

From the 26th to the 28th of June 2015: They're free!

Yep! Both books are free this weekend, so why not take advantage.

I hope to build up some good connections here that could possibly lead to writing assistance, proofreading and who knows. I'm more than willing to give it a go if you are

Later folks.

David.

Super use of this thread all. It's been a while since I was here but I'm glad the thread I began four years ago is still going strong. My third book in my Captain Hawklin series is out called the Subterranean Empire. You can find information about it on my website  www.charlesmillhouse.com I hope to keep an eye on the thread more.

 

[Maggy-Mae]

Hello Charles,
It's really cool to see a thread like this out here so I'd like to start by thanking you for putting this up.

My name is Maggy-Mae (Okay, that's my pen name. Real name's Magdalene) and I've just published my first Science Fiction novel titled "Gigi: The Rise of Bel" on Amazon and I'm pretty excited about it. It's set in the distant future and focuses on the human race's struggles to regain a planet that was once theirs! That would be Earth, of course I played with the idea of human-looking robots and their interactions with humans!

I also published a romance novel on Amazon titled "Dream Write Live Kel" that centers on true love experienced across lifetimes!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to add the cover images here since it's my first time here I stumbled across your thread and decided to give it a try.

Greetings!

I'm a writer of sci-fi, fantasy, and occasionally horror. I'd like to introduce the first in my Un-United States of Z trilogy.

Here's a link to a short film prequel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uIc6u8hws&feature=youtu.be

And the Novella:
n a near-future Los Angeles, Dr. Zen Marley is torn between two conflicting realities: his buried southern roots and his preppy west coast professor persona. He must travel home to face the reality of his mother's failing mental health. But he finds an aberration: a monstrous imposter wearing the rotted shell of his mother's skin. In a twisted case of self-defense, he kills her, but not before he is also infected.

With his humanity eroding, Zen sets off on cross-country quest through a racially divided America to rescue his sister, find a cure, and stop the advance of the sentient flesh-eating army led by his highly intelligent, but psychotic former student. This is the first installment of The Un-United States of Z trilogy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017EZ80NC?*Version*=1&*entries*=0
