I just received the foreword for Android Planet, together with an author bio. I just need to put together a few more things and we’ll be ready to go to print! What things you ask?
I’ve decided to start adding an “Other books by…” section in the front of each book. I have asked John Mason to confirm that my list of novels, series and collections is complete. John Mason is also a publisher and I have offered him some space at the end to place an add for and/or link to his site–where ALL of John Rankine’s (Douglas R. Mason’s) non-Space: 1999 books have been reprinted.
I need to send the back cover text to Ken Scott so he can finish the cover. Then I need to get the final cover approved.
Finally, the arduous task of formatting the book to Lulu’s specs begins–and luckily it’s not me who does it!
See, spending time here on the Powys Media site is not just fun, it’s EDUCATIONAL! 😉

I have now received the bio on John Mason and a DEFINITIVE list of John Rankine’s published works. These will be incorporated into the text. I’ve sent the back cover text to the cover artist for this book, Ken Scott. Once the book is formatted and the cover is done, we will be ready to go!
Look for SPACE: 1999 ANDROID PLANET, now part of the Powysverse, coming January 2011!

-Pat.
I incorporated the final bits and sent it off for formatting. Once the cover is done, I’ll send it for approval. Once the approval is given, we’ll release it via Lulu.com.
How sweet it is! Bang zoom! Right to the Moon! (I’m talking books here, not women.)
Books, books, books… :woohoo: I’m one happy customer Mateo. Remember to take some time out to celebrate the holiday season… 😛 We don’t want you getting burned out or anything. :laugh:
Yeah, I know you’re just the front man and that there is that huge Powys machine operating behind you. Please pass on my best Christmas wishes to each and every person involved in the publication of thse books. I love each and every one of them… 🙂

Zack, thank you! I’ll tell everyone at Powys that you love them!
Oops, or did you mean you loved the books??
Too late, you love us–and that’s cool. We could all do with a little love once in a while.
Happy Holidays–whichever they may be–to all and to all a good night!
Love the books and I love each and every one of you guys. The people who make the books that I love the best…. Thanks again.

I agree with Steve F, Mateo. Is Android Planet coming out before the 5th of January. LULU has a 25% off coupon that expires on the 5th and every little savings help 🙂
Those pesky androids! Always interfering with our publishing schedules. 🙂
No, the cover is still being worked on and has to be approved. Also, we have to format the book to Lulu’s specs and do the usual revisions once we are issued an ISBN number and barcode (inside the book and on the back cover, respectively).
Expect it later this month.
There’s a lot to getting a book published–as you all know from my numerous updates. It’s all about transparency! 😛
