X. Ho Yen's Author Newsletter (21 Oct 2022) --MSD FULLY RELEASED!
Greetings Dear Subscribers to X.HoYen's Author Newsletter.
MSD is finally fully released!
https://XHoYenAuthor.com/store
Five days after the 17 Oct target release date, 9+ days after I pressed the “publish” button, 8 days after they accepted the soft cover edition, 6 days after they started distributing the IngramSpark hard cover edition, 4+ days after I submitted my copyright certificate, Amazon finally agreed that I’m the author and publisher and approved and released the MSD eBook.
At this stage of the release, there’s no point in trying to optimize visibility to the Amazon interest/exposure algorithm. Please feel free to support the cause in any way you like, whenever you like.
And remember that it’s gift-giving season. :)
You can give Kindle eBooks as gifts: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200652260
As previously noted, all your current purchase options can be found in the X.HoYen Author Store here (https://XHoYenAuthor.com/store) or at GrandUnificationMonastery.com here. The eBook will be at promo price (USD 2.99) through October, reverting to normal USD 4.99 afterward. Pass the word!
And I’ll try to set up another eBook promotion through one of those reader mailing list sites, maybe in early December, if possible.
Remember, honest reviews are welcome, as long as you’re not in the “close friend or family” category, which is against policy and could cause me trouble.
After Mile Hi Con (today!) I’ll be happy to get out of publisher mode and back to writer mode (when I’m not in day job aerospace analyst mode).
Thanks for sticking with me during this long process!
Standard stuff
Please do share my URL with fellow realism-based sci fi fans, especially anyone who enjoyed Weir’s The Martian, Older’s Infomocracy, Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon, Mandel’s Station Eleven, or Corey’s The Expanse. I'm convinced Minimum Safe Distance would appeal to the same audience, because I wrote it for me and *I'm* in that audience.
Thanks for your support!
