Thank you, everyone, for supporting the Kickstarter for The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades. Thanks to all the backers and to everyone who shared information about the Kickstarter. I’m so pleased that so many of you helped out! I hauled out the staff at Promotion Central to say thanks as well. They usually do their promotions on Facebook, but I figured they could move over […]
Have You Ever Read A Science Fiction Legal Thriller?
If not, here’s your chance. The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades is a standalone book in my Diving universe. For $5 you can get the ebook, and every stretch goal we’ve hit in the Kickstarter that we’re currently doing. Right now, backers will get four anthologies and the Diving Notebook about this book. (Think the extras on a director’s cut, with commentary.) Backers also get […]
We Need 30 Readers…
…or so, to help the Kickstarter for the new standalone Diving novel hit a new goal. We want 350 backers by Sunday night, so tell your friends. If we hit that goal, backers will get a book about the writing of the novel, filled with outtakes…and an online writing workshop. So tell your friends! Click here to see the Kickstarter.
Something Quick And Fun
First, a thank you! We hit our ask on the Kickstarter for The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades within the first hour! And our first stretch goal a few hours later. Couldn’t have done it without you all! WMG Publishing is doing all kinds of fun ads and such for the Kickstarter. Figured you’d want to see this one.
The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades
A standalone Diving book! Yep, if you haven’t read the series, you’ll be able to read this novel. It’s a legal thriller space opera, and wow, did I have fun writing it. The book won’t officially appear until June, but you can get an early copy of either the ebook or the paper edition if you back the Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/the-new-diving-novel I’ll have more news on […]
First of The Year News
It has been a very busy start to the year. I just finished teaching an in-person workshop, which we held at Resorts World. It’s a lovely venue (unlike the Golden Nugget), and we had a great time. I’m hoping the students enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m teaching two more workshops there this year—one in May and one in July—which you can find […]
Business Musings: Direct: The Year in Review Part 8
On January 6, 2023, Michael W. Lucas made a rather important announcement on his blog. He wrote, in all caps: AMAZON IS NO LONGER MY BIGGEST INCOME SOURCE. It’s not that he added a consulting business to his writing income, or started doing in-person speaking gigs. He didn’t get a day job. Instead, he’s been, in his words, disintermediating. He’s been consciously moving his readers […]
Happy New Year!
I’m actually a little excited (and terrified that I’m excited) for 2023. All of us involved with WMG Publishing are starting the year at a full run. We’ve made a lot of changes and progress in December, and we have great plans for this new year. First, let me tell you Diving fans that I’m nearly done with a surprise Diving novel. I decided to […]
Business Musings: The Year in Review Part 3: Bestsellers
In my Pocket Reader app, I stored a September article from BBC News as much for the article’s title as its content. That title? “When Is A Bestseller Not Necessarily A Bestseller?” I think that’s been the burning question in publishing for the past ten years. Bestsellers haven’t entirely lost their meaning, but they’re not relevant the way that they were twenty years ago. Back […]
Be Among The First To Read The Newest Diving Novel
Just a quick note to let you know that the full novel of The Court Martial of the Renegat Renegades has appeared in Asimov’s. The second half dropped this week in the November/December issue, which you can get now. The novel started as a piece that I had to leave out of The Renegat. I wondered what happened to the crew that returned to the […]
