WordFire Press Teams with Humble Bundle for Innovative “Sci-Fi Specials” Bundle WordFire Press and Humble Bundle have announced their second partnership with an ambitious “Sci-Fi Specials Bundle” featuring 18 major titles in a pay-what-you-want grab bag, for a limited time.

Kevin J. Anderson, publisher of WordFire Press and an international bestselling author in his own right with 23 million copies of his works in print, says, “Bundles offer an exciting and innovative way for a new independent publisher to draw attention to a lot of titles at once—and everybody benefits, from the authors, to the readers, to the designated non-profits.” Last year, Humble Bundle ran a successful bundle featuring only WordFire Press titles which sold over 11,000 copies in only two weeks.

“The new Sci-Fi Specials Bundle is the best one we’ve ever run,” Anderson says. Instead of just a grab bag of books, fully half of the 18 titles in the Sci-Fi Specials Bundle are not available to the public at the time of the Bundle launch on April 6.

One book—the new anthology Decision Points, featuring stories by bestsellers and award winners Jody Lynn Nye, Lois McMaster Bujold, Robert J. Sawyer, Jonathan Maberry, Kevin J. Anderson, and a never-before-collected Ender’s Game story by Orson Scott Card—is included here as an advance pre-production proof. The remaining books in the bundle have never previously appeared in any other bundle. The Sci-Fi Specials Bundle includes books by Alan Dean Foster, F. Paul Wilson, Dune author Frank Herbert (a collection of four previously unpublished novels), Kevin J. Anderson, J. A. Pitts, Andrew Mayne, Mario Acevedo, D.J. Butler, Ramon Terrell, Neo Edmund, Jason Henderson, Shean Pao, Quincy J. Allen, Peter J Wacks and J.R. Boyett, Josh Vogt, and Aaron Michael Ritchey. Readers choose the amount they want to pay, and the bundle unlocks more titles at certain bonus levels. A portion of the proceeds goes directly to the designated charities—the Challenger Learning Centers for Space Science Education and the Emergency Medical Fund for the Science Fiction Writers of America.

The Sci-Fi Specials Bundle will run exclusively from April 6 through April 20, after which it will no longer be available. https://www.humblebundle.com Humble Bundle sells digital content through its pay-what-you-want bundle promotions and the Humble Store. When purchasing a bundle, customers choose how much they want to pay and decide where their money goes—between the content creators, charity, and Humble Bundle. Since the company's launch in 2010, Humble Bundle has raised more than $71 million through the support of its community for a wide range of charities, providing aid for people across the world.

Nominate Yesterday's Tomorrow for 5-Year Publishing Deal

WE NEED YOU!

From Saturday, March 19, 2016 for the next 30 days, author G.W. Pomichter’s latest novel Yesterday’s Tomorrow is participating in the Kindle Scout program, competing for a publishing contract with Amazon Publishing.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow is a near future thriller about a world forever changed by a devastating terrorist attack that could either cripple the free world or pull communities together as never before.

This will be the 5th book released by author and journalist G.W. Pomichter, who is the host of the growing internet series, the Hangin’ With Web Show, on which he promotes indie authors, artists, filmmakers and other creators through fun and casual interviews. Pomichter was joined in this project by co-author William DuPree.

The pair have been friends for more than a decade, but this is the first time they have collaborated a project of this kind.

If selected for publication, Yesterday’s Tomorrow will be granted a 5-year e-book and audio publishing contract by Amazon Publishing, and DuPree and Pomichter will also be releasing the book in paperback.

“It is a great privilege to participate in the Kindle Scout program and to give readers a chance to help bring this story to life,” said DuPree.

“We have been working on this story for the past year, running various scenarios and narratives to give this world a very 3 dimensional and real-to-life feel,” Pomichter added. “It is going to be something that readers will find completely immersive.”

To help produce Yesterday’s Tomorrow, visit the Kindle Scout campaign page and nominate it for publication.

Let The Games Begin: What are They Spending Millions On? From the Author of Mapping The Road Less Traveled

As the American Presidential primary season goes into full swing, people in early states are going to thee mail boxes and pulling out huge stacks of mail from candidates, and likely wondering, "Why?"  Why are such well known people spending millions at the mailbox?

Well there is no easy answer to that question, but there are some familiar themes that voters will notice.  While Television news has frantically covered the goods, bads and uglies between candidates, the war for the hearts and minds of Americans will be fought as it has been for generations at the mailbox, and below are some of the reasons why.  As the author of Mapping The Road Less Traveled, I wanted to share some of these insights with you as you head to the mailbox this season.  

As you sift through the piles of mail, ask yourself a few questions, and see which candidates have been successful!

Direct mail is the most targetable for of campaign advertising. For this reason it is the most used. Because this will be one of the campaign’s most critical resources it seems prudent to spend a moment examining the elements of a well though out mail plan. There are several strategies for direct mail, but all seem to consist of some basic psychological elements. Since the purpose of any advertising in the campaign is to giver voters a reason to support a candidate and to give then their vote, a mail plan must address one of, or all of the fundamental reasons people will vote: Sentiment, Commonality, or trust. A traditional mail plan consists of all three of these elements in varying degrees.

Sentiment: A traditional mail plan will include introduction and biographical material as one of the candidate’s first mail pieces. It is important that recipients of the piece get a sense of who the candidate is, and where they come from. There are a couple of ways to accomplish this.

Smaller campaigns may choose to reserve their resources and introduce their candidate by telling both their personal and professional stories in a single mailer. This should include the candidate’s upbringing, education, their family life, marital status, professional resume, and personal philosophy. These are elements that help to establish a sense that the reader is getting to know your candidate, and building a slight sentimental connection to them.

Larger campaigns with greater financial resources should consider breaking this introduction into smaller parts and sending separate mailers. This is because the sentimental illusion will be stronger if the information takes more of a period of time. These mailers should begin with the personal introduction with information about the life, family and personal goals and philosophies of the candidate. This will establish a feeling of familiarity with them. The next phase of this strategy is to send the professional history of the candidate which will include a kind of professional resume, and mentions of any political experience the campaign deems relevant. By receiving these separately, voters may perceive a more lasting bond forming, and the sentiment factor on Election Day is stronger.

Commonality: A select but vital group of voters choose candidates much more carefully, based on the perception that a candidate has a common view of issues? These more informed voters want to know that a candidate is on their side. Mailers showing that your candidate’s views are important. This may also be achieved through single or multiple mail pieces.

Smaller campaigns may elect a single mail piece containing positions on multiple issues. It is strongly recommended that a mailer of this type be limited to and include three issues and your candidate’s position on each. This will not overload the reader, but will give them a well-rounded look at the top policy opinions of your candidate. Remember that most people receive dozens of mailers and have a limited amount of time to spend on your so keep it direct and short.

Larger campaigns should focus each mailer on a single issue. This will give the more studious voter a more in depth look at The candidate and the less anxious will at minimum receive The candidate ’s name to look at multiple times. When organizing these issue mailers, identify the most important three issues in an area or race and send a single mailer addressing each. Again, the long term nature of this promotes the perception of many conversations with the candidate and an impression that a voter is more informed about the candidate.

Trust: The final phase of the mail plan is to establish trust about the election with each recipient. By encouraging them to vote, you illustrate that you trust their judgment, and ask them once more for their support. This is also the phase where candidates may choose to distinguish themselves from their opponents.

Life After Lucky (The Philandering Fella)

PREVIEW

It was 7:30am on a hot August morning. The alarm clock rang out, murdering a restful night’s sleep. A knock at the door seemed to echo through his one room loft apartment and office.

Will slowly sat up from the sofa where he’d laid all night. He rotated his legs to one side as if they were weighted — first one and then the other. The rhythmic knocking continued and hastened.

“I’ll be right there!” Will said as he stood abruptly, shaking the final moments of his slumber from his muscular shoulders.

As he passed by his desk, he pulled off its top a half-full coffee cup, and smelling it first to test it, he took a sip and placed the cup on the side of a small sink that appeared to jut from wall of the room. As he turned the sink on, he reached behind him to the doorknob on the left, turned the knob and opened the door dismissively.

“Good morning, sleepy head,” said the bouncy Molly as she walked happily into the room.

Molly had been coming by each morning, almost without exception, since Lucky had left the police force and moved from his apartment into the office flat. Each day she brought Will a fresh cup of coffee and a cardboard take-out container in a plain, brown paper bag, filled with eggs and bacon from the corner drug store.

As she had done hundreds of times before, it seemed, she swept through the door while Lucky washed his hands and face, and placed the plain paper bag on the desk. She proceeded to walk to the sofa, pick up the blankets Lucky had strewn beneath, folded them and placed them gently on top of a steel filing cabinet in the corner of the room.

“How’s tricks, Will?” She asked cheerfully.

Lucky turned from the sink and passed Molly as he reached into a pile of clothes on top of an end table near the sofa and grabbed a clean shirt.

“The same as yesterday,” he said half-heartedly, holding up his shirt before he put it on. “Just doing somebody else’s laundry.”

A few months after leaving the police force, Will had applied and been granted a license as a private investigator by the city. The past several months since hadn’t been exactly the life he thought it would be.

Most of his clients were middle-aged men or women, looking for an estranged spouse or sibling that had disappeared quite intentionally. Some were jilted lovers or wives and husbands suspecting unfaithful partners. The work was more jading than adventurous.

“Nope,” said Molly. “Today is going to be the day you get a big case. I just know it! At least you’re not stuck in the basement digging up old ‘perp files for that ritzy robbery case they’ve all been figuring.”

Lucky finished dressing and searched from the coat rack to the table top for his favorite tie. Finding it rolled up on the corner of the desk, he wrapped it around his neck and began to fumble with it.

“I sure hope so,” he said, reluctantly surrendering to her optimism.

Molly stepped toward Will and finished adjusting his tie and folding down his collar. As she stepped back away, she smiled.

The Lucky Marks Mysteries

“I’ll see you tonight?” she queried playfully. “We’re going to dinner after I get off at the station, right?”

“Sure thing,” Lucky replied. “I can’t wait.”

He smiled back at her. He couldn’t help but remember how dismissive he had been to her when he first arrived home from the war. He wondered, now, why she was so happy to be around him after all that had happened.

“Stay out of trouble, and I’ll see ya later, handsome,” she said as she straightened her hat on her head, opened the door and left, pulling it closed behind her. The foggy grey glass window on the door made a rattling sound as the door latched.

Lucky waved as she departed and smiled as he peered at his companion through the etched letters, that from his vantage point, spelled out “Lucky Marks: Private Investigator” backward in the grey glass.

He reached behind him to the coat and hat rack, grabbed his suit jacket and slid it on confidently, then rounded the corner of the desk and sat behind it in the wheeled wooden chair. He placed his interlaced hands at the back of his head and rocked back and forth with a satisfied contentment. No longer in surrender to Molly’s morning cheer, he could feel his own sense of hope and optimism rising inside him.

“Today’s going to be a good day,” he said rhetorically.
