Vertigo Is Live

Don't let me get in the way of the links:

  • Vertigo is available for purchase in eBook and paperback on Amazon.com. Links to Amazon's international sites can be found here. The links on this page will grow as more sites become available.
  • If you don't have a Kindle, not to worry. Kindle apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, PC, Mac and the cloud: Kindle Apps.
  • If you're a Goodreads user, the Vertigo page can be found here.
  • I am thrilled beyond measure for everyone to finally be able to read Vertigo, and I truly hope you enjoy it. Of course if you do, don't be shy about it - reviews are the greatest gift you can give, but tweets, posts on Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, your own blogs, and forums are also most welcome.

Vertigo Release Date

I'm thrilled to announce that Vertigo will be released on September 25, 2014!

That is all.

P.S.: Also, the website has been doused in lavender paint, and Vertigo now has a splash page and a quotes page. It also has a Goodreads page. Okay, that really is all.

Exciting Vertigo News & Starshine Sale

You know how the teaser for Vertigo at the end of Starshine says "Coming Next Winter"? Is October 'winter' by chance?

  • So Vertigo is going very well. It's been edited about five times, and as of yesterday is off to some awesome people for review. Katie, Jules, Mark, Anne, Carole, EJ, Claire, a million 'thank you's!
  • With all the standard caveats, I'm tentatively eyeing an October 8th, 2014 release date; if the next month goes spectacularly, perhaps even as early as the end of September. Stay tuned.
    • [EDIT:] September 25th looks good to me!
  • Those progress meters over on the right have been updated to reflect the book's 'mostly complete' status. Before too long you're going to see a Transcendence word meter show up over there as well - because I have learned the hard way that it is far easier to just keep writing than to stop writing and begin again!

I'm now balancing writing Vertigo with promoting Starshine, but I still find myself stopping short several times a day in amazement at and thankfulness for how well the novel is performing and the wonderful thoughts people have shared about it, publicly and privately.

  • 3 weeks after release, Starshine remains in Amazon's Top 10 Sci-Fi and Top 5 Space Opera and Sci-Fi - Adventure Hot New Releases (with several stints at #1 in Adventure). It's a Top 10 Space Opera Bestseller and Top 5 in several sci-fi subcategories. Perhaps most importantly, it holds a 4.9 star rating on both Amazon and GoodReads with more than 20 fantastic reviews. Keep them coming!

    • I've added a page to the website with Review Highlights - mostly for newcomers, but you are welcome to peruse it :)

It has been an incredible ten days.

  • Starshine is currently #11 on the Amazon Bestsellers List in Sci-Fi—Space Opera, #4 in Sci-Fi—Space Exploration and #75 [Edit: #67!] in all Science Fiction. It is #20 on Amazon's Hot New Releases in Science Fiction, #6 in Sci-Fi—Space Opera, and #12 in Sci-Fi—Adventure. Which is...AMAZING. I am overwhelmed with joy (you can tell from the dancing...if you could see the dancing, that is). You can find everywhere Starshine is available here.

  • I talk about how these thrilling numbers came about in a new blog post, A Singular Day. Future posts will focus on the world of Aurora Rising, the characters and the story, but I wanted to share this more personal post with you all today.
