Nominated. Good luck!

I'm not much a fan of steampunk (I'm not sure why exactly, maybe it's simply because I like general sci-fi more), but the rest of RonCo's description of it sounds very interesting! I especially like that you're including a detailed map in it, which I always find helpful in picturing everything. I'd be interested to hear why some of the place names were changed. Did you have to for legal reasons or something else?

You can never have too many fictional baseball books. All the best with it!

Yes, the book has been in the "Hot and Trending" category much of the time since my campaign began. That, I've learned, means it has received a good number of nominations over a sustained period of time. That helps its chances of being chosen, but of course does not guarantee it.

Thanks so much Ric. I'll let you know.

In some instances, I needed to shorten the original names, as my beta-readers found them difficult to read. In other instances, I just needed to simplify things. For example, the original maps has names for two regions within each country. Those regional names ended up never factoring at all in the novel, so I just removed them to make the map a little cleaner.

Character names also ended up changing over the course of writing it. Although three of the OOTP-generated names (using my own names.txt file) remain as the names of primary characters.

Shameless bump to say that the Kindle Scout campaign for my novel is in its final two days. Thanks to those who nominated. If you haven't, check out the excerpt and please nominate if it floats your boat (or airship, in this case). If it is accepted for publication by Kindle Press, those who nominated will get a free eBook edition.

And we all like free.

The email arrived just after midnight: my novel had been turned down by Kindle Press. Aw . I appreciate all of you who took the time to nominate it, and appreciate everyone putting up with my shameless pestering for support!

It was a great experience, though, and I learned a lot about internet marketing. I'll keep you posted about my future plans for the book. Again, thanks!
