Here’s wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
and a pleasant holiday season in general.
We will do our usual Friday blog later in the week, which will delve
into some interesting results from Amazon’s Top 100 Kindle books list. But for now here is a Christmas wish list:
·
For writers who want to be traditionally
published – here’s hoping your query letter strikes gold and you find that
agent.
·
For writers who are self-publishing or indie
publishing – here’s hoping you finish that novel, polish it up nicely and put
it up on the various ebook sites. Maybe
you can do a shelfie too (i.e. a paperback that can live on a shelf). And here’s hoping your sales are a pleasant
surprise.
·
For a certain special writer – keep up the
stories, the world needs more Kati (and Mikal and Sarah and everyone else that
you come up with).
·
For big publishing houses – best of luck in
managing this transition.
·
For independent publishers – even more best of
luck in taking advantage of all the new opportunities available during this
transition.
·
For bookstores – best of luck in managing the
transition, too. It is still nice to
have you around, even if you only carry a small proportion of the books out
there.
·
For artists – here’s hoping you get to do lots
of cover art.
·
For Dodecahedron’s artists – continued success
with your amazing artwork, for us and in all your other artistic endeavors.
·
For our astrophysics consultant – here’s hoping
for a nice postdoc and/or faculty position (or equivalent in job satisfaction).
·
For our beta readers Kaye, Ken and Karlyn – many
thanks for your help and here’s hoping we can carry on the collaboration. And keep writing Karlyn.
·
For our Dodecahedron Books readers – thanks for
choosing our books and we hope that you will continue to follow Kati, Mikal,
Sarah, Coryn and all the rest in the future (plus some we haven’t even thought
of yet).
·
For readers in general – here’s hoping you find lots of entertaining
books, regardless of whether you prefer ebook or print book (and please read
lots J).
·
For anyone I forgot (even those who don’t read
many books) – have a great holiday and a prosperous new year.
Oh, and look, here’s Kati of Terra, helping Santa deliver
gifts on a world that looks strangely like London of the mid nineteenth
century. Isn’t parallel evolution wonderful? Plus, there’s Kordean psychic Dian, wishing
Earthlings a happy new year. By a
strange coincidence, the Kordean New Year’s Eve falls on the same night as
Earth’s does.
