Well, the day has finally arrived! The Metal Within: a Cyberpunk Novel second edition and Angels – Book 2 of the CYBER Series OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED today! I’ve decided to keep my website prices what they are for the first week of the book launch in celebration of them finally seeing the light of day. In the meantime, the presses should be running for anyone who has pre-ordered the books.
Last night, my wife and I hosted a book launch party to celebrate. It was a lot of work, to be honest, but SO worthwhile. We had several family, friends, business associates, and co-workers out to help celebrate and just have a good time. Good food, good music, good times, and GREAT people!! We raffled the last two remaining hardcover copies of the Metal Within first edition and a reading basket with signed hardcover copies of both The Metal Within AND Angels, plus a few goodies to munch on and sip while they read. We also had a few readings from yours truly, and a Special Guest reader: my daughter, who is an aspiring writer herself (and who writes dialogue that flows like silk, by the way. I aspire to be as good at her style of dialogue that she has mastered), read the prologue for Angels as the crowd leaned in. As a father, it was really cool to see!
Thank you for all your support along this journey! Quite a few people told me last night about how far I’ve come, but my cover artist David Triplett said it best with how he signed the guest book: “Congrats on 2 down@ Now just 5 books, two graphic novels, and a movie screenplay to go!” (Spoiler: No, I do not really have the graphic novels and screenplay in the works. Maybe someday, but not today.)
