Multiverse 1 to go live June 11 2014

   Ayup, I just got the manuscript back from Goodlifeguide. Shelley and crew did it again, delivering ahead of schedule. Awesome. It all looks good, I'm going to start uploading it tomorrow morning sometime. So, you can look for it tomorrow afternoon or Thursday. :D


Multiverse 1 is a collection of short stories (some very short) spanning Fantasy and Science Fiction.

    The fantasy stories are Magical Audit about a school of student wizards, and Portal, a story of a magical war that spills over to Earth.
In sci-fi there is The Cull, a story about an ancient evil techno-sorcerous... Then my Metalwar 2305 material, timeline, and stories Yo Ho Ho, Trapper, The Meat Grinder, To Roar and Soar, Sleigh Ride, Hunters, and Ambush. Also there is Survival of the Fittest, a Bootstrap Colony story. It will tie into the book I am currently working on.
   And finally there are 3 Federation stories, Higher for hire, (Founding time period) Siren Call, (just before the Gottenburg time period) and finally Bringer of Fire and Light. (Prometheus's first flight)

   That should be an interesting first outing for Multiverse 1. I've already got Multiverse 2 waiting in the wings for next year. (or this year if I decide to table Alive again)

    In other news I'm past the 400 page mark (412 as of a few minutes ago) with Bootstrap 2 Second Chances. I am still muddling along with it. If any Betas want a go at it, I can send you the first 2 parts like I did Jory. (I dunno if I sent it to Thomas or anyone else... did I? Brain faaarrt moment!)

   I'm still pumped over Multiverse 1. Tomorrow will be an interesting day. But for now, I need to get away from the PC before I overheat and go cross eyed permanently. lol

EDIT: I just finished uploading the manuscript to both B&N and Amazon. It should go live by the end of today or early tomorrow!

EDIT 2: We're live on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXARN0M
EDIT 3: And here it is on B&N: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/multiverse-1-chris-hechtl/1119715682?ean=2940149417070&itm=1&usri=2940149417070

I encourage everyone to please post a review when you finish. Every little bit helps!

Multiverse 1

   Rea at Goodlifeguide got the manuscript back to me yesterday. I poked around with it, added the missing bits, then a few minutes ago I pulled the trigger and sent it back to GLG for the final formatting. I expect it back in the next 7-10 business days, if not sooner!
 
So, maybe this week... most definitely by next weekend! (the 14th)
EDIT: Oops! Shelley just corrected me and said "I've added the book to the que. You'll have it by or on the 17th". My bad. She's pretty good at getting it back quick though...
 
 
That is all... you can return to your regularly scheduled mayhem! :)
