Yet even more Thank you's

Hello all,

I am as pleased a punch to announce that I have been listed in Scifi and Scary's "Top Ten New-To-Me Favorite Authors I Read For The First Time In 2015".

Scifi and Scary is a respected blog, providing honest and impartial reviews for both indie and mass market published science fiction, horror and fantasy novels. To see myself listed as their favourite indie scifi author is an honour and a privilege. It is also extremely humbling to see my name listed on the same page as Andy Weir, author of The Martian, though I don't for one minute claim I am in the same league.

https://scifiandscary.wordpress.com/2015/12/08/top-ten-new-to-me-favorite-authors-i-read-for-the-first-time-in-2015-128/

Thank you so much, Scifi & Scary.


In other news, during its recent free promotion, THE VOYAGES OF THE SEVEN hit #501 in the entire free Amazon chart. This is impressive enough in itself, but especially so given that a twitter promotional package I frequently use to advertise my books failed to work.

So thanks again to everybody who has downloaded the book. It currently has an average review score of 4.3/5 on Amazon.com, with hopefully more reviews to come.

Thanks all,
R.E.Weber

A BIG THANK YOU

Hello all,

Once more, I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who supported The Voyages Of The Seven during its recent free promotion, last weekend. It hit #233 in the entire free Amazon chart on Saturday, which is fantastic. I also noted increased sales for book 1 in the series, so I am really very happy right now. Both books are now back up to their regular price of $2.99 + local tax.

Secondly, I've had an author interview published on the excellent Christoph Fischer book blog WriteCristophFischer, so thanks very much to him for giving me the chance to reach out to a new audience.

As always, my books can be downloaded from the following links:

THE STAR AGENCY: Book 1 of the Star Agency Chronicles

Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, Apple iTunes, Kobo

THE VOYAGES OF THE SEVEN: Book 2 of the Star Agency Chronicles

I would like to encourage anybody who has read and enjoyed my books to leave a review on the book's product page. It doesn't need to be long, just a few words will do. Your continued support will enable me to continue writing further books in this series.

Thanks again,
Richard Weber

Editing & proofreading - a review of Nicola Rhead

Upon publishing my first novel some two and a half years ago, it became clear to me what a gargantuan task it is to proofread your own manuscript to an acceptable standard. However many times you read at it and convince yourself that it is finally error free, you can be certain that issues will remain. Even if your own English and Grammar skills are spot on, you are simply way too close to your own work to give it a fresh and impartial read. And because you know your book so well, it is impossible to avoid falling into the trap of inadvertently skipping overly familiar portions of the text, however thorough you believe you are.

No author wants to see the dreaded words ‘…poor punctuation and grammar distract from an otherwise enjoyable read’ in a review of their work. And although few reviews for my first novel THE STAR AGENCY mentioned grammar or mistakes, I was even more determined with book two in the series to ensure that it was watertight in that department. So the second time round, I decided that as a minimum requirement, I needed a proof-reader to vet my work. Having checked out several, I eventually came across Nicola Rhead who appeared to offer exactly what I needed, those being great testimonials - which can be cross verified on Amazon by downloading book samples - and a reasonable price.

A number of weeks before my manuscript for THE VOYAGES OF THE SEVEN was due for completion, I dropped Nicola a line to enquire about her availability, and I received an almost immediate response with a very reasonable quote. A month or so later, once the manuscript was ready, I emailed Nicola once more and submitted my novel. From that point forward, the process was nice and simple. I received progress reports throughout the process, and eventually the final manuscript on the promised date.

Viewing the final manuscript revealed how thoroughly Nicola had vetted my work. Not only were a number of errors flagged up (many of which I would never have spotted), there were many helpful notes and suggestions included which really helped me polish the final manuscript, many of which might even be deemed editing choices rather than just proofreading notes. This to me is going above and beyond the call of duty. I know that any proof-reader should be considered just an extra pair of eyes, rather than a definitive this book is now perfect. However, I could not find fault in anything Nicola had done for me.

I never preach to authors saying that they must pay for editors and proof-readers, because that decision depends on so many factors, price being at the top of that list. Some people simply cannot afford it and I understand that totally. You do what works for you and your budget. However Nicola’s services worked well for me and I am happy to recommend her work to the cost conscious author requiring a great professional service. 

Many thanks Nicola.

Goodreads eBook miner 'Book of the Month' award.

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that my book THE STAR AGENCY has been nominated as one of the 5 finalists in the Goodreads eBook miner 'Book of the Month' award for November/December. So in between now and the 20th November, the voting is open. If the book wins the award it will require those who have nominated the book to read and review a free copy of it within 3 weeks, which will give me a real boost of readership & reviews.

If you are already an eBook Miner member on Goodreads, you will have received an invitation to vote, in which case you don't need to read any further (indeed please don't as I am not allowed to solicit votes from existing members). If however you are not and you would like to vote for my book, follow the link below:

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/111285-which-book-would-you-like-to-vote-for-ebook-miners-book-of-the-month

You will then be prompted to join this Goodreads group and vote. If the book you have voted for wins, you will receive a free copy of the book to read and review. Do however bear in mind that you will be required to read and review your choice within 3 weeks. That is the rules of the group, not my own. So only vote if you intend to read. Any support you can give me would be very much appreciated.

There's nothing in the rules to say that you can't already have read the book, only that you need to add a review to Goodreads. So if you have reviewed the book elsewhere, e.g. Amazon or Smashwords, there's nothing to stop you adding that review to Goodreads.

In the interests of fairness, you can of course vote for any of the other books in the list, not just my own.

Many thanks all for your support,
RE Weber
