I wanted to share a little progress we have for the SE cover. The artist HolBat has shared this sketch with me.
Black Hole Guns For Hire special edition cover (draft)
This go around instead of dictating the cover entirely, I asked the artist to read the book and pitch some ideas. This is what we got! :D
Once I get the final draft in I'll start the process for the print run and sending out your physical copies. Before that, if you're an ebook reader and see any typos/issues, please report that! (You can email me - isfriday at gmail).
If you've already read the book, one of the things you can do to support me the most is leave a review. Indie authors struggle with visibility more than anything else.
Yay! It was a really long Pride Month in a real shitty time, but I want to thank everyone for being so generous with their contributions to the campaign.
I have a little update about the cover art by Holbat.
I've chosen the concept on the left which will feature Zuri, Lina, and Andromeda in addition to the mining station & our lovely black hole.
Have you read the book already? Did you know the best free thing you can do to support me as an author is drop a review? Indie authors struggle with visibility more than anything else besides having money for editing, cover art, and printing.
Let me know what you think in the comments! Vote in the poll on who your favorite character is. I'll be away from home for a week but once the payout hits and cover art is done, I can start estimating on delivery dates of printed copies.
We have but a week left on the crowdfunding campaign. Help us get to the next stretch goal by sharing with your friends on Discord, socials, and maybe even text it to your mom (if she's an ally)!
Hey y'all! We're off to a great start for the campaign and I wanted to take a moment to bring y'all together to chat about the ebook that you assuredly have started reading already. Right? Right!?
Badass Girls Shooting Hot Loads Into Your Local Galaxy
HELLO.
Thank you to all of the wonderful backers! We are at a cool 50% funding after the first day. Missed launch day? That's okay! I'm here to talk about it. Share with your friends!
Pledging means that you will be charged once the campaign ends, which is June 30th.
If you were exposed to space it would take you about a day to actually freeze. You would, however, have all of your air sucked out of your lungs immediately so you'd suffocate pretty quickly.
Funding at 2k means that I can go into production for special edition hardcovers which will feature a nice slip cover illustration by Yorsy Hernandez, a cloth bookmark, and sprayed edges!
You can read the ebook immediately after pledging! Then if you like it, you can decide to go all in for a print edition later this month. Wow!
The audiobook is our first stretch goal, which features two amazing queer voice actors spanning the 3 POVs of the book.
When you pledge at the highest tier, I will write you (or a character we discuss) into the platoon of the Marines (known as "the Guns") in book 2. This isn't for the faint of heart. Your character will do something badass in the set piece battle of the second book and even have an entire POV scene in the vein of Joe Abercrombie's novel The Heroes!
We're about to get some real bad news from LT Alvarez....
BUCKLE UP. Our campaign for Black Hole Guns For Hire launches in 48 hours. I'm hopeful that we can hit funding and be on our way to paying for the audiobook on day 1. I greatly appreciate everyone supporting me by following the campaign and sharing with your friends.
I'm working to finish up final polish for the eBook and you should have it available to download and read as soon as you back on Thursday!
Also, the book got reviewed! You can check that out if you'd like to see the book's reception.
