I was on Amazon a minute ago, checked the publication date of Episode 7, and discovered that it's been about three months since it was published. Now @rykbrown has been averaging about 3 months between episodes, so we may see Episode 8 soon.
I am wondering what the title of episode 8 will be ? Now @Rykbrown should we guess or will you throw us a bone? My best guess is "Defense" any other ideas?
I believe they announced the title as "Sanctuary" on Facebook but i could be wrong. Hope we get it Soon!!!
If you have the will and ability to navigate Facebook (I really dont) they mentioned that the next instalment is due Late March. God I hate Facebook.
Thanks for the info. Four Islands, Facebook's for girls.
I prefer to think that it's not for everyone. What annoys me is that announcements that are made there are not mirrored here on the official site!
I meant to share that here, as I was the one that asked it and got a response finally. I must say, I am pretty bummed that there's been a staunch lack of communication here. I use facebook (obviously) but the signal to noise ratio there is high enough that you're likely to not see any updates from the FS page without checking directly. I can appreciate it, however, given that it's a simpler platform with a greater reach. Sigh, the era of the forum is over.
I don't understand why Facebook is so cluttered and hard to navigate. When you get onto the frontiers saga page you have to click through the "comments" of "posts" and check community and click through the "comments" of other "posts"... It may have a wider reach but it's to be honest Twitter might be a better platform for an author. At least then you could search for hashtags (I assume, I don't use twitter). I haven't used Facebook properly in about 10 years... and feel so old now trying to figure it out
Facebook is so cluttered and hard to navigate by design. They don't want you looking at user submitted posts. The only posts that Facebook wants you to see are self made creator posts (when they feel like it) and adverts. I just opened my FB app, and out of the top 20 posts, 11 were page sourced posts, 8 were ads, and one was from a friend. My own fault for liking so many pages, but that's how they get you. More ads and more pages in front of you means more money for them.
Twitter does work, but you get lost in the noise pretty easily. I prefer reddit myself ( https://www.reddit.com/r/frontierssaga/), but there's a only a teensy tiny community there, and we very rarely post anything.
EDIT: And, to add, it doesn't really matter what the platform is, so long as there's communication on it. Facebook I don't think anyone prefers, but that's where the effort is being directed these days.
Oh, and to just add to the conversation regarding release date... I predict the book will be out on 3/26. I also predict it will be ~440 kindle pages, 944KB for the ebook file, and will contain approximately 111000 words.
Did you buy a new crystal ball?
When are we likely to see a intro clip? Seems it should have been posted already, if the next episode is to be launched at the end of the month. Possibly there will be a delay?
Just a quick fyi - there is a quiz on Facebook with a signed copy of Aurora CV-1 for guessing the release date of Sanctuary... So we are not likely to be getting a better release date theb the end of March... also its almost a week since that post went up so sorry for no advanced warning
Release date tentatively scheduled for the 24th March - but not set in stone. Cover art up on Facebook looks good. Rock city
Oh my, a new book from Jamie McFarlane is due out the 23rd. I guess I will just have to read them in order of publication. A good week for Sci-Fi.
