Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
And if you'd like a free copy of my last major novel, 'Torn', it's free as part of the launch of my website. Be quick though, it won't last long.

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
Thanks, Drew, I already got the paperback but it is a great novel, well worth a read. Though the ending is a little bit too Hollywood-esque for my taste.drew wrote:And if you'd like a free copy of my last major novel, 'Torn', it's free as part of the launch of my website.

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
I'd use .de more than I currently do as well, but the language is locked to German, as far as I can see, and my German is not really good enough to read the reader reviews there (and there are more of them on .com and .co.uk sites for English books, usually).Commander McLane wrote:You mean US-members (or to be more precise, amazon.com-members).Diziet Sma wrote:

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
I usually find a book on the kindle on the .co.uk site, then just change the .co.uk, to .com, and it works if you change it to .de too.Wolfwood wrote:I'd use .de more than I currently do as well, but the language is locked to German, as far as I can see, and my German is not really good enough to read the reader reviews there (and there are more of them on .com and .co.uk sites for English books, usually).Commander McLane wrote:You mean US-members (or to be more precise, amazon.com-members).Diziet Sma wrote:

I used to live in the US and so I had a US email address too, and so could order from .com or .co.uk site with impunity, but when I got a Kindle for some reason the US account stopped working, perhaps they got wise to me (shipping address) or a cookie ID me as being the same person, but it was quite annoying when it happened!

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
A chunky update this week as we close in on the end of the first draft. It's time to consider the legends and mythos of Elite... and there's a bit of an announcement too.
Comments on the blog as always.

Re: Elite : Reclamation (Novel)
Probably the most important milestone short of the main event, the first draft of Elite Reclamation is finished. 111,814 words at present count.
What's next? How I do take that rough first draft to polished published book? It's all here in today's update.

In a hastily updated update (!) I review the recently released battle footage from Frontier and talk about publishing and promotion...

We last interviewed him in December 2013 when his work on Elite: Reclamation was only beginning.
