I get a fraction of a cent per page read under Kindle Unlimited. I make less per fully read book than I would for a sale, (about $1 less, last time I checked), but I reach a larger audience so it evens out. I make enough either way, so I can't really complain.

Since this was titled questions to the author I don't wish to make another topic.

My question is, will there be a paperback version of Part 2 Book or will they all be kindle from now on?

Hi Ryk, Can you give us an idea of when the next book is coming? ( i read somewhere you were trying to to go for a 2-3 month schedule ) does that line up to give us a much desired christmas present from you? or are we looking at early next year?

Ryk, ive given up waiting for part 2 to be accessible in my country (Australia) on audible!
Ive been a loyal fan of yours since the start, buying every episode.
Its just frustrating.
I want to support you and continue to listen to your great work but this "not available in your country" BS Is driving me crazy.
Can you look into getting this sorted out? You're loosing fans.

Travis,

I never did find out why the contract for part two did not include international, as the contract for part 1 did. Regardless, I signed the contract addendum to make part two available to all the same areas as part one, about 2 weeks ago. I don't know how long it will take for the distribution of the first two episodes to begin, but at least I can tell you that it WILL happen.
I apologize for all of this, and I'll make sure such interruptions do not happen again. Remember, I'm new at this as well, and I'm quickly learning that you cannot trust anyone to do their job correctly. You have to check every single detail to ensure that things happen the way they are supposed to.

As for episode 3 of Part Two, I'm shooting for a December release, but I cannot promise it. (Sometimes editing takes longer than expected.) With any luck, it will go up for presale mid December.

As much as I wanted to be able to get the audio, digital, and print versions released simultaneously, I simply don't have the sales to allow any delay to market to coordinate the three versions. I have to put the digital version up immediately in order to pay the bills. I'm trying to get myself to be more productive, but it's a struggle. My main focus as of late has been to lose weight and get healthy, so that I'll be around long enough to finish this saga!

Ryk

Ryk,

Can we expect to see more naval academy stuff like the old Tanna Cobra base?

Can we expect to meet the officers who fly Cobra's now that there are so many of them?

What is the highest rank you would give to a Cobra commander?

Do Cobra commanders get promoted into larger ships or would we expect shuttle crews to be promoted into Cobra crews, or would you keep them separate?

Love your work, cannot wait for 2.3

Ryk,

We are all wondering when the next book will be out. Estimated release date for part two book three?

In "Escalation" towards the end of the book, the Alliance was getting ready to launch a KKV strike against the Jung home world and infrastructure. Then in "Rescue" we never revisited the issue. Did I miss something? Did the KKV strike happen? Or will the issue be discussed in the next book?

Also, If the Jung now have jump technology, wouldn't it make sense that the Jung have KKV capabilities now?

didn't know where to report this, found an error in the latest s2e3
there is a reference at one point (trying to be spoiler free here) where Conner says he felt that Marcus and LOKI had taken care of him for 5 years. Obviously that should have been Marcus and Josh... this was in the Amazon digital edition
