“Francis Murphy faces a monumental task: solving the murder of the most important person on Earth. A battle-scarred veteran of the Cyborg Wars, Murph is credited with saving humanity. Now, he must do so again by preserving the deceased’s legacy of enabling humans to flee the lethally polluted planet. But he can’t trust anyone—not his high-society wife, his android girlfriend, or even his colleagues in the security division of the biggest company in the world. Murph will need all of his human ingenuity to avenge the most impactful assassination in history.” Kim H., Copy Editor, Red Adept Editing
Forgive me for opening with a cliché, but I’m old enough to remember when self-publishing was hard.
I’m not talking about the writing, editing, cover design, and the angst suffered in a poorly lit room as we stared at a blank screen over cold coffee while silently begging for words to appear out of nowhere. I mean the actual technical task of posting a book to Amazon.
Didn’t we have an app back in the day that was written and executed in MS-DOS, and didn’t we struggle for multiple hours to get the manuscript and cover formatted into boxes whose sizes were a mystery to everyone except to Amazon? And I remember we waited for days for Amazon to approve our book for sale while we walked in six feet of snow uphill with no shoes for our feet and covers for our heads.
I must have been flashing back to that yesterday when I told CC that I would start posting Finding Salvation Part One (FSP1) on Wednesday because I thought it would take a couple of days for the platforms to reveal the novella. Yeah, no. A couple of hours later, FSP1 popped up on Amazon like bread in a toaster, all shiny and pretty. It would quickly appear right after on B&N, Google, and Kobo. Neato.
(As an aside, I would like to thank Apple Books for reminding me how needlessly complicated the publishing process can be when a book platform changes basic functions and unlinks your key email from your account, all in the name of efficiency. I can’t post FSP1 there, and I can’t get to my other books and reports there now. Yes, Apple Books. Thanks a lot.)(Edit: Apple pointed the way and the book is now posted to their site.)
Anyway, the FSP1 pre-sale is engaged a day early. No big deal, but I really, really want folks to read this novella, so the price is 99¢ during the pre-sale. CC feels it’s one of my best works, made much better by Teri Case (creative editor), my beta readers, and the Red Adept editing team, all of whom are wonderfully awesome in what they do.
If you can’t wait until January 31 to read this fine piece of science-fiction literature, the novella is posted to Book Sirens for your review. It’s a neat program and you get a free book!
FSP1 is the first of many books that Two Moore Books will bring you this year, and we’re excited about every one of them. Thank you!
