My agent, Mike Kabongo, liked it and suggested I expand it. The story could quite neatly become a novella, but to turn it into a novel I was going to have to add a lot of content, which would in some ways be completely separate arcs. At the same time, I was starting to read a lot more self-published fiction, and had come across several serials of novellas and novels that caught my eye and gave me the idea of releasing Starship’s Mage as a series of novella length episodes. I was also having problems at the time with completing novels, and figured that writing what was basically a full novel in multiple shorter pieces would help me break through the barrier I was struggling with. As it turns out, announced release dates are a very effective motivator for me! The first month that "Starship’s Mage: Episode 1" was out, I sold twenty novellas. In October 2014, ten months later, I sold over two thousand. This Omnibus is the culmination of the year of effort that went into the Starship’s Mage serial, fuelled by the interest of you, the readers.
What do You think about Starship's Mage: Omnibus: (Starship's Mage Book 1)?
