Exodus: Perfects by James Kemp
book cover for Exodus 2: Perfects by James Kemp Exodus: Perfects, Part 2 of my NaNoWriMo 2012 novel, has been released on amazon for kindle. It takes a different tack from Exodus part 1, which followed a US Space Command Colonel and his part on the trigger event that will lead to (some) people leaving the Earth because either they personally aren't welcome there any more (as is the case for the 'Perfects' in part 2) or what they want to do isn't tolerated. Who are the Perfects? So the 'Perfects' of the title are a group of people that are the result of some unauthorised, and unethical, experiments conducted by a genetic therapy company in the 2030s. The embryos were supposed to have been destroyed, but Haephestus Genetics had them implanted into surrogate mothers instead. In the meantime the…

Marketing the Story – free promo
I was unexpectedly unwell at the same time that the two days of free promo kicked in, so I didn't get to push it, nor to ask those getting a free copy to give me feedback, so I'll just need to hope that some people do. Certainly, if I get a book for free I'll write a review, as I did for Farewell Horizontal (although I quite often write reviews anyway). Anyway, the result was that for the 48 hours that Exodus: Mike's Thread was free, 6 Brits and 127 Americans (or at least people living in those areas) downloaded it. So that means that, I hope, 133 people have read my story. That's a good start and probably more than I hoped without having pushed it much. The next step is to finish off my Maths TMA and when I've made…

Short Story – Exodus: Mike’s Thread by James Kemp
I've made a short story from my NaNoWriMo 2012 event available as a Kindle book, which is available from Amazon. Exodus: Mike's Thread tells part of the story from the point of view of one of the characters, it isn't his whole story, but tells a large chunk of it and ends on an appropriate point. The gist of the story is that Mike is an officer in the US Space Command, and one of the insiders in a conspiracy within the US military to circumvent the inconvenient parts of civilian control. He tells his story in the first person to the interviewer after the events. The rest of the story is still in for editing, although I won't release more of it until I've got through some more of my open university maths course, I've got some catching up to…
