Early Reader Feedback Program October 19, 2011

For a limited time, leading up to final contract signing, after which the manuscript goes to my publisher, I am enlisting the help of fans of my blog in providing early reader feedback on Wormhole.  If you would like to participate in my early reader feedback program I can send a pre-edited draft version of Wormhole to your kindle or a pdf formatted version to your other ebook reader.  In return, I just ask that you not share it with others and that you give me your general impressions of the novel (my editor will take care of the actual edit).  If you have a real kindle device, I can send it directly to that.  It won’t
work with the kindle app though.

1.  Go to the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com
a. Click on the link on the left hand side that says Personal Document Settings
b. Add my email account to the Approved Personal Document E-mail List(richard.phillips@secondship.net)

2.  Click on the Manage Your Devices link on the left
a. Send me the Kindle E-mail Address for your kindle (something@kindle.com).
It will end in @kindle.com

Let me know if you’re interested via my email at Richard.Phillips@secondship.net

Best,

Richard

October 16 News October 16, 2011

Hi folks.  I have a bit of good news.  The publishing house has agreed to all the things my agency (Janklow & Nesbit) considered show stoppers.  Now we’re only waiting on the revised contract.  As soon as we get that and I sign it, I’ll let you know.  After that, their editor will want to edit each of the novels.  As soon as I approve the edit, then we should see everything come out under the new imprint.  That includes Wormhole.  Thank you again for your patience.  I’m sure my literary hero, Dean Koontz, could have accomplished all this much more quickly … but probably not before he was … Dean Koontz.

Yet another Wormhole Publishing Update October 10, 2011

Well, the quest goes on.  I know it’s a frustrating wait, it certainly is for me, since we’ve had an agreement with the publisher on major contract terms since late August.  We got a little bit closer last week on getting the attorneys to agree on wording on TV and Movie rights so I’m hoping we get this thing signed before the end of October.  I hate having it complete and just sitting on the virtual shelf.  In the meantime, I’ll try to keep you up to date as I learn new details.
