I'm thankful for the many people who have bought Zero-Point Symphony, and even more so for the people who I don't know that decided to spend some of their hard-earned money and give it a shot.

I hope you enjoyed it, and stick around for the sequel next year!

Wrote two chapters of my sequel...then realized I hated the direction the characters were going in.

So I went back and wrote a 4-page outline/guide for the second half of the book to flesh out a better direction.

Much happier now!

Oh I didn't take it that way. I don't think I'll be eligible next year as it needs to be a first in series book and my next book is a sequel

Think I'm reaching the halfway point of book 2β€”I'd best start thinking of a name soon!

Curious to know how many of you include the first book's name as part of your sequels, example: Zero-Point Symphony: Ion Prime?

Played the Star Trek: Voyager Into the Unknown demo. It has a lot of promise. Really interested to see if the branching actually works and how far off the beaten path you're able to take the crew. If it can pull that off, then I am going to have a busy few months!

Thank you to everyone who bought a copy of Zero-Point Symphony in the Cozy the Day Away Sale!

There's something deeply humbling about having people you don't know choose to engage with a creation of yours.

If you are one of these people, please let me know what you think!

Day 2 of the sale! Lots of positive reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Please check it out if you love cozy sci-fi in a similar vein to Becky Chambers Wayfarers series!

I honestly didn't even know old-school book blogs were still a thing. Everything I read told me it was social media platforms nowadays (which also only really work if your genre is romantasy).

Are there any in particular you'd recommend reaching out to for cozy sci-fi/YA Star Trek style books?

Yeah I figured that was probably the case. I would much rather sink the $500 into ads , would likely see a bigger returnβ€”that said, I'm happy with my 1-2 organic sales every week πŸ˜‰

Question for my fellow #writers out there - does getting a Kirkus Review actually do anything for you, or is it just a moneymaking thing for them?
