UFO:ai the novel - update and feedback thread
Gary Bonn:
My goodness - the pressure is so high and Chrisy and I are working overtime. Firedance Books wanted all three books complete, and approved, before editing the first. Rather bad timing, (because we didn't know) Christy and I had already planned a four-part fantasy series and set deadlines - which we passed to our readers. You don't let readers down. I'm working 70-hour weeks and have done for several months. Christy has been sleeping a lot, drinking gin, talking to his mates, and generally chilling out ;)
I'll keep you posted!
Gary Bonn:
OMG ... sorry about the huge delay. This is in part due to the tragic loss of our fabulous SciFi editor and friend - co-author of the best seller 'Hollow Space' (under the name of Grant). The other delay was the complete rewrite and 5 months of structural editing. Book 1 will be released 11-12 Sept. The next two in the series on 9-10 Oct and 13-14 Nov. On these dates they will be FREE to download onto your Kindle app. (Midnight to midnight US Pacific time.)
Meanwhile there are free chapters of action happening in parallel with the main plot. http://garybonn.com/scifi/ - watch out, they're just for fun and haven't been through any rigorous editorial yet.
Gary Bonn:
One more thing...
You guys are amazing! - as the first drafts went out chapter by chapter they were being read by thousands (hence the parallel chapters to keep everyone going).
Gary Bonn:
Wow... UFO:AI is a truly global game. Since the announcement of Hive Mind's imminent publication and give-away days (11-12th Sept), the opening chapter of the Parallel Chapters, Safronov, (http://garybonn.com/scifi/) has been read by people from:
Australia
United Kingdom
Hungary
India
Mexico
Brazil
Taiwan
Germany
United States
Czech Republic
Greece
France
Austria
Russia
Poland
Netherlands
Peru
Canada
Gary Bonn:
If you are a member of UFO:AI why are you buying copies of Hive Mind? - it's free on Kindle tomorrow and Saturday. It's all very flattering and there's no way we can tell if sales come from members or elsewhere but if you're UFO:AI - get it free! Hive Mind is a celebration of this game. It would be very interesting to see how the books promote UFO:AI. That would be so cool.
