Good on you Boyd, hope you get a good deal from the publishing companies (believe me, you deserve it, your stuff is easily better than most of the thrillers I read last year).

Congratulations, Boyd! Well deserved. I've raced through all three of your freebies and they were very good (with the obvious caveat that The Adamas Blueprint was written years before the other two). The class you've shown in interacting with the MR forum members have earned you much respect and loads of future customers.

Congratulations Mr. Morrison. I really enjoyed The Adamas Blueprint, and am looking forward to reading the other 2 soon. You have a lot of people here eagerly awaiting your future published works. Good luck.

Bummer, guess I'm late to the party. Still, if they aren't too expensive I'll pick them up when they reappear on Amazon.
EDIT: And might I add congrats to Boyd. I hope the books are a big success in the "real" publishing world. Last edited by carld; 06-28-2009 at 05:34 PM. |

Hi everyone!
Sorry for my long radio silence, but I had to keep quiet during negotiations. But now they're over and I can make a big announcement. Simon and Schuster's Touchstone imprint will be publishing The Ark and the second novel in the Tyler Locke adventure series! I'm so excited! The Ark will come out in hardcover in the US and Canada in 2010. In addition, the rights to The Ark have been sold in seven foreign markets, including the UK, Germany, and Italy. We're still working on possible deals for The Palmyra Impact and The Adamas Blueprint, but I will make sure those are in readers hands again at some point. Thanks to everyone here for their kind words and their support. I know it made a difference, and it's quite an honor that so many of you took the time to read the books of an unknown author like me. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll tell you what I can. I look forward to getting to work on my next Tyler Locke thriller. Thanks again! Cheers, Boyd |

Wow... that's great.. no one would touch it, and now they are going to hard cover.... amazing.
...but 2010... bummer! What takes so long to print a book? I assume there will be some tweaking and editing... but wow. You didn't mention anything about ebook formats? Don't they have their own ebook store (I'm thinking Star Trek books here)? BOb |

Simon and Schuster/Touchstone and my foreign publishers all have the electronic rights, so I'll be working with them to figure out how to do the e-book releases. |

Well done - it's good to hear someone we 'know' (or at least know of!) has got a contract! I suspect 2010's pretty fast too, as it's only 6 to 18 mths!
Just out of curiosity, do you have any indication if it was just a matter of finally getting the manuscript to the right person at the right time, or if they'd been following the ebooks, e.g. the Kindle bestseller lists, or a combination? |
