Ending the Kobo Experiment


A few months ago, we tried removing Becoming Real from KDP Select to try cross-listing it on Kobo, at the request of a number of our readers who prefer not to buy from Amazon.

To put it mildly, this was not a success. The cross-listing generated one sale.

For those who really do not like Amazon (believe me, we understand*¹), we still have a plan for implementing a way for you to buy Fenian House books in epub3 format *direct from Fenian House. That plan is not near to fruition yet, but it’s still on the roadmap. We ask for your continued patience. There are a perhaps-surprising number of moving pieces involved, and some of them we cannot run ourselves.

¹ Honestly, if I had a non-Amazon alternative that would pay my bills, I’d gladly use it. But so far it appears there isn’t one. Amazon is the 800lb gorilla in this market.

Unitary Problems


NASA famously destroyed a Mars mission by making an error of units, performing a vital orbital-entry calculation in feet that should have been done in meters.

I didn't do that. But there is a typo in Appendix 2 of A Line In The Stars that I only spotted today. A Warlord class missile cruiser is of course 454 METERS long, not 454 MILLIMETERS.

Oops...

Publication issues with KDP


Be advised that there are issues with the softcover print edition of In Flux. At this time, the softcover edition is (at least in the US Kindle store) not properly linked to the Kindle edition, and may not show up correctly in all stores. (The link for amazon.de for example does not resolve.)

However, this is STARTING to clear up. If you cannot find In Flux in softcover in your Amazon store yet, please be patient.

In Flux is officially released


In Flux is live TODAY

Years ago, Justin—we’ll call him Justin—escaped from a hated orphanage, and from his own time. Now he will give a woman whom he does not know a last-second escape from hers—and also from her imminent brutal murder. Together, they will learn and share mysteries and wonders, pain and joy, make new friends and face new challenges, in a strange place outside of time and space as we think of them, where possibility can become reality—if your will is strong enough, and your vision clear and firm.

But be careful. There are deadly dangers hiding within the Flux.


In Flux is officially released, in Kindle eBook, EPUB3, and softcover print formats.

Sean Fenian's upcoming novel In Flux draws inspiration in part from sources including Jack L. Chalker and Julian May, in a setting with distant echoes of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to tell a vaguely steampunk-era tale—without the steam. In Flux is in the final stages of production and should be on sale before Hallowe'en.
