Reddit AMA & Audiobook News

, , , , , ,

Has it really been a month since Vertigo launched? Wow. Thank you all so much for helping to make it a success! On that note:

  • Vertigo is having a Countdown Sale on Amazon right now, and is available for the practically-free $0.99 for the next 2 days. After that the price goes up every 2 days for the next week, so grab it (or tell your friends to grab it) now.
  • I am excited to announce I've been asked to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit next Tuesday, October 28th: Upcoming AMA: Sci-Fi Author G. S. Jennsen
    • If you're not familiar with AMAs, Reddit users post questions on any topic they like, and unless they are blatantly offensive I'm morally obligated to answer them. If you're not familiar with Reddit, it's the internet's forum of forums, with communities for every topic imaginable (over 8,000) and over 170 million visitors last month alone (I'm not expecting that many to visit my AMA).

If you're a Reddit user, I invite you to come by next Tuesday to /r/suggestmeabook and pick my brain (and keep me company). If you're not, feel free to post a question in the comments to this post, and I'll try to get it included. Also, you don't have to be a Reddit user to eavesdrop.

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.

Contest! Win Signed Paperbacks of Starshine and Vertigo

Contest! Win Signed Paperbacks of Starshine and Vertigo

In my last blog post, I mentioned there were Easter eggs (subtle nods or homages to geek/literary/pop culture) in both Starshine and Vertigo. I’m running a giveaway over on Goodreads for a couple of Vertigo paperbacks, but I wanted to reward you guys specifically, because you’re awesome for coming to the website and following me on this adventure. So I came up with a little contest which hopefully will be fun for everyone. Here’s how it's going to work:

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.

Behind the Scenes with VERTIGO

Behind the Scenes with VERTIGO

If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll remember that as Starshine neared completion I began posting little excerpts from it every couple of weeks. I haven’t done so with Vertigo, primarily because all the excerpts are spoilers. All of them. I mean it. I do hope to start releasing some quotes in the coming weeks, which are too short to be spoilers. Right?

 

(As an aside, one edit made last week was at the urging of my husband, who said, “This is the actual book, you are supposed to spoil them!”)

To try and make up for my overly secretive and neurotic fear of revealing too much too soon to you guys, I thought I would share some other details about Vertigo, both fun and legit.

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!
