Pre-orders are billed on release day. So technically it is money in the bank, just something I can't see yet. Yes they do offer cancellations. The big thing for me is the interest, I could care less about how many pre-orders or how many people cancel it. I care about the people's interest in it and that motivates me to deliver the best product I can.
You'll probably have to end up creating a Q&A thread of some sort, because I'm sure people will have questions after they have read the book so then you can summarize the questions that have been asked with answers.
Q1: Why did you kill of Jan in the first 10 pages? I loved him!
A1: 'Cause
Q2: Why is the book called Gamma Nine?
A2: The Gamma radiation in Sector3 went up to Nine on the Richter Scale.
Q3: What happens to Wyvern after she got ejected from the ship?
A3: Wait for the next book.

Out of interest, will the Amazon release be the same price as the Kobo release?
R47.10 is a very reasonable price for a book
Congrats! When i get paid i will have a look![]()
I'm sure you could ask more if it's selling well. Under R50 for a book is pretty cheap. But I suppose you're aiming to develop a reader base at the moment.Yup I think I will keep the price as is. I don't think upping the price after release would be a good thing, and it looks greedy.

I'll get it for my kindle when available
Storyline seems to have some original angles and I am always looking for new scifi to read.
read the intro on first post and sounds awesome! i'm still a fan of paper books though, so hopefully it sells like crazy and goes to physical print. Well done dude!
Thank you. I will update everyone on Kindle release as soon as it is available.
Can't wait
Recently finished expanse and before that I finished the Hyperion books for about the 4'th time![]()
Awesome work [MENTION=4772]Spartan[/MENTION] ! Don't forget us when you're famous!
Seeing as your still writing more for this series, this is a nice article to read: http://www.sentientdevelopments.com/2014/04/20-crucial-terms-every-21st-century.html
To everyone interested. The manuscript is 99% done and will be going to the distributor on Monday where it will be checked for formatting before it is published.
I have taken some extra time during this month and will be announcing an Amazon Kindle pre-order as well. The manuscript editing went much faster than expected so I have some free time to set up the Amazon distribution.
I will create a new topic with all of the info the week before release.
