Now Released: The Lens, by Steve Jordan
Our very own Steve Jordan has finally granted us access to his latest Kestral novel! There was dancing in the streets! there was overjoyed celebration! For some reason, there was at least one llama named Steve Jordan. - - pshrynk
Yes, the crew of the Mary are back, due to popular demand from the readers! And in this story, they're dealing with something more mysterious than viruses and uppity aliens: Quote:
Don't forget: During Read an E-Book Week, Berserker, the first Kestral story, will be available for free download! (It is also available at the Stanza Store, also free during Read an E-Book Week!) Last edited by pshrynk; 03-02-2009 at 08:47 AM. |

Congratulations! Off to order.
As an aside... where do you get the models for your cover art? They're hot. |

Looking forward to reading this. I like the crew of the Mary. They do, indeed, remind me of Firefly, but without the western motif.

Thanks for all the kind words... hope you all enjoy it!
Now I get to take a mental breather... before I go back to working on my site redesign, before starting my next novel! |

Just a day into release...
...and already, a typo found! (Who says editors aren't necessary in publishing?) It's amazing how many times you can go over a manuscript, and still miss simple things like that!
Rest assured, I will fix it and upload a new book. However, the book conversion process usually takes me most of a day (what with converting to 8 different formats--one is PDF, and the other is Word 2000 down from Word 2007), and only a few of those conversion processes allow me to save time by editing the doc after conversion, so it may be a bit before I can get to it. Still, it's a distinct advantage to digital self-publishing that I can make this edit within a few days, and upload it pretty much instantly (not to mention sending a fresh copy to anyone who asks)... compare that to the print world, ye mighty, and despair! |

The paragraph spacing was corrected in your ebook(s)? The onuissance one had a big space for each paragraph. Sometimes, I only had two or three sentences in a single epage. I stopped reading since then, but I'm willing to try that one again and then check out any your other works.

Belated congrats on the release of the Lens, Steve. And don't worry too much about that typo. Ebooks allow, as you've said, for quick corrections, and I can't tell you the number of pbooks I've read that are filled with typos and errors. 1 typo out of thousands of words is a great average

Yippee - New SJ Book!
I love it when a new Steve Jordan book comes out!
Just bought The Lens (plus a copy of Factory Orbit for a friend). I really enjoyed Berserker, and am looking forward to the sequel! Sherri |

Glad to finally see a second book. The first book was crying for a sequel.
BTW, slightly off topic, I'm reading Factory Orbit right now and noticed some typos (mostly with an organization acronym). Any way to let you know about them? |
