Greetings and welcome to the Gregeration X Newsletter for August 7th, 2021. If you are receiving this message, it means somewhere along the line you signed up to receive my newsletters in exchange for downloading the novella, Duel of Destiny, or you found your way here after reading Pax Machina, or seeing a post on social media. No matter how you found your way here, WELCOME! And while I hope you stay subscribed, you are free to unsubscribe at anytime.
I can’t believe we’re already in August. I hope you are all staying healthy, safe, and enjoying some good books.
August has always been a special month for me as it is my birthday month. I also know a lot of people and relatives who have birthdays during this month. In recent years, August has been a very busy time of year for my regular job, so I don’t always get to enjoy my birthday as fully as I’d like, and this year is no exception. Never fear, I always take steps to enjoy my birthday, just not always on the actual day. This year to celebrate my birthday, I’ll be doing something really special!
I am releasing Unexpected Contact, the second Mechhaven novella!!!
As I mentioned in previous newsletters, I’ll be sending out some advanced e-book copies of Unexpected Contact in exchange for an honest review. If you’re interested in being an ARC Reader please sign up here: ARC Reader Sign Up. I’ll be sending the messages out with the information on how to get your ARC copy in a few days, so don’t wait too long.
The good news about Unexpected Contact is that the e-book is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The paperback format is actually available to order now! It will also be available in Kindle Unlimited beginning on August 17th.
If you want to pre-order the e-book, or order the paperback now, that would be great and I always appreciate your support! If you want to give me the best birthday present ever, hold off and place your order on August 17th. I’ll be running some additional promotions to get the word out on the release date and would really like to concentrate my sales on that day. That being said, that’s still ten days away, so I will send a reminder on Tuesday, August 17th.
Oh, by the way, did I mention the e-book will have a special introductory price of $0.99? I didn’t? In that case, yes, I’m releasing the e-book for an introductory price of $0.99. I’m not sure how long I’ll keep the price at $0.99, it might be a week or possibly a month…I’m not sure, but I want to keep the price low so all of you can get for this low price.
Also, if you enjoy the story I’d love for you to leave a review on Amazon or Good Reads, wherever is best for you. If you leave a review and have purchased a copy on Amazon, your review will show up as being a “verified purchase”. I’m told this has more weight in the world of Amazon algorithms and such. Okay, enough of the blah, blah, here are the links for Unexpected Contact:

Mechhaven Missives
- I’m hoping to wrap up edits on Mechs and Machinations in the next few days. I have a couple of final scenes to fill in and some inspiring speeches to write. I hope to send this off to the editor by the middle of the month. Its longer than Pax Machina so it will need a little more time to edit and apply the edits once I receive them back, but I think we are still on track for an October 25th release date!
- If all goes well with Mechs and Machinations, I’ll start work on Book 3 in the beginning of September. I’ve learned a lot writing the first two books and novellas over the last year and a half. I hope to put everything I’ve learned to good use and make Book 3 something special.
- In the small gap between sending Book 2 off to the editor and starting on Book 3, I have a fun little project I’ve been working on. I’ll use that time to try and finish that project off. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be able to share it with you before the end of the year.
