Welcome to the Gregeration X Newsletter for May 1st, 2021. This is science fiction and fantasy author, Greg Sorber. If you’re receiving this message, it means you signed up for my mailing list on my website, downloaded Duel of Destiny (A Mechhaven Novella) from a Story Origin group promotion, or you know me (and I made you sign up).
My first newsletter went out to 19 people on April 16. This one will be going out to over 100. Thanks for signing up! No matter how you found your way onto my list, welcome to Gregeration X! If you’ve already read Duel of Destiny, I hope you enjoyed it. It’s just a small taste of what’s to come in the Mechhaven series.
Mechhaven Missives
- In honor of Pax Machina releasing this month, I’m dubbing May as Mechhaven Month. Actually, who am I kidding? Right now at Gregeration X, every month is Mechhaven Month…at least until I write another series.
- Final edits are proceeding nicely on Pax Machina. I’m looking forward to wrapping up those so I can format and finalize the ebook and then work on formatting the paperback version.
- I’ve have had several people ask about the paperback version. With any luck I’ll have that ready to go on or at least very close to the May 25th release date. There are a few extra steps to take to prepare the paperback version and I’ll need to work with the cover designer to finalize the cover as that is dependent on the final page count of the book. If there’s demand for it I’ll also get a hardback version out in the coming months.
- In the last newsletter I mentioned the cover for Mechs and Machinations (Mechhaven Book 2) was almost done. Pax Machina is going to get a lot of promo this month, so before I launch into that, here’s the unveiling of the cover for Mechs and Machinations created by the awesome Jeff Brown!
- In other projects, no new news regarding Book 3, however I did start a new novella that I think everyone will enjoy. More details on that later.
Podcasts/Audiobooks
As a commuter, I’ve listened to countless hours of audiobooks and podcasts. From time to time I’ll highlight some of my favorites here. As a long-time podcast listener, I love discovering new podcasts. What’s cool about Geek off the Street is that it’s hosted by a close family friend, Marc Pope and his friends, Trent and RJ. I like their deep-dive format, but they talk about a lot of other topics in each episode. Their most recent episode has a shout out for Pax Machina and the Mechhaven series. Their reactions are humbling and inspiring. Thanks, Marc, Trent and RJ!

Promotions
Below are three group promotions in which I’m currently participating. Many of you probably found me through one of these. The first one is new, the second two are previous promotions that are still running. Please click and take a look and see if any of the stories interest you. You’ll need to provide your email address in exchange for a free short story, novella, or novel. This is helps authors increase their reach and establish followers that are not dependent on social media algorithms for visibility.
