OP - finished it, and really enjoyed it! I did it in one sitting while recovering.
Regarding reviews, where’s the best place to do one that helps you the most? I see a link at the end of the iBook on my iPad, but I also see Amazon referenced? Let me know so I can drop a review for you! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Kindle unlimited? It will be on KU, too. Best place to leave a review is on the Amazon page. Mods will slap my peepee if I post links to a product, though, so you will have to look it up. (Or IM me your emails and I'll add you to my arc reader list.) |

I am getting a lot of reports like this, that people just plowed through. It's a short read, and I wrote it with the intention to be a page turner. Glad to hear that was successful for most. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just be warned, the fantasy series is very different. "The Collapse" is designed as high-speed action, whereas the fantasy series is deep character-study on many morally gray characters with lots of politics. Folks who like "The Collapse" may or may not relate to "Sins of the Fathers". Not going to be an issue with me, I read David Weber.

It was a good book. Spend the 99 cents if you like these type of books. There's nothing to keep me from posting a link -

Book goes live next week, to remind folks. Also, if you want to receive future arcs, PM me your email. I started this just answering PM's and it got out of hand real quick. Did not expect so much interest.
Would be much easier on me to mail folks as a group. |

Reminder for those leaving reviews: Tuesday is the day we go live. It doesn't need to be wordy. Anything will do, and everything will be greatly appreciated, even if it's just "I liked this a lot."
Again, if you are interested in the second and third book ARC's, IM me your email. I tried doing this just through ARF IM thinking I would only get a few responses, but I got too many to do manually, so I will maintain a list of emails going forward. |

It's out and live for those interested. They don't care for us posting links here, so you'll have to look it up, and as usual, if you send me an IM with your email, I will add you to my list and mail you when I have ARC's available for the next two.

Thanks for the support, guys. To answer some questions, there really isn't much money going on here, not unless it somehow sold millions of copies or something, which is highly unlikely. I am not certain how it all gets calculated (the publisher handles that), but my sense is that unless you get lucky and catch a wave, you are not really going to earn back the time you invested writing it, so if you don't feel compelled to write for the love of the story, I would not consider it even a side gig.
COULD it go big? Sure. I could win the lotto, too. Am I banking on it? Nah. I'll be glad if folks here enjoy it, since as I mentioned, I kind of wrote this with ARF in mind, as you can tell from the various ARF'isms in the book. But I am not expecting any calls from Hollywood in my near future. |

Amazon is weird about this stuff, and it seems like sometimes it takes time for them to get all of this stuff right. I wouldn't sweat it. It will show up or not as Amazon wills it.
