I think I mentioned a few months ago that I paid for a commercial ad with a podcast I really like (“The Greatest Generation”, a podcast originally about Star Trek The Next Generation, but has now moved on to DS9… and will probably soon be making the jump to Voyager).
This Monday it finally aired! It was fantastic to hear the hosts read my copy out, and they seemed to appreciate my sense of humour and one of the hosts (Ben) even talked about how he loved the cover of “Caitlyn Morcos, Interplanetary Marshal Service”! I got happy shivers at that. The other host (Adam) slightly mispronounced the book title (“Marcos” instead of “Morcos”), but who cares!? They did a great job, and it was fantastic to hear.
Book sales have picked up immediately as a result, and I’m hoping that this will continue to result in a few more sales over time as people listen to the episode on their own time. It wasn’t a financial success by any means (yet), but that’s okay… I was mostly doing it to support a podcast I love, and to hopefully let more people know about my work that will eventually see more of my books in people’s hands (or e-readers, I suppose).
Ooh, speaking of which, after I get “Tintian and the Chimera’s Secret” out into the world, the next task is to make a dead-tree format of Caitlyn Morcos. Ah, always more plans, never enough time.
Right! That’s some fantastic news from me that made me happy… now back to work! Stories to write and all that!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
