Tellurian Suns (Book 2) progress

So I officially started "production" of book 2 in the Tellurian Suns trilogy. I had written bits and pieces before, but now I'm in full swing writing mode. It sure feels good, let me say that. Also, the ideas have just been flowing and it's turning out to be an awesome book. I can't wait to finish it.

Inspiration

So I've been trying to develop an origin story for Zeck to put into book 2: Rock of Divisions. (Hopefully all you Tellurian Suns fans are excited for that) I was asking my wife yesterday for some good ideas and after bouncing some ideas back and forth, we came up with an awesome origin story for Zeck. Not only does it tell why he is the special (is the the right description for him?) way that he is, but it helps us understand his targeted loathing for some of the characters in book 1. I'm extremely excited about it and thanks go out to my inspiration not only for this small part of book 2, but also my inspiration to keep being a better person: my wife Milexis. Thanks, honey

March discount

Until the end of March, the print version of Tellurian Suns is 10% off! Lulu is doing a promotion, so now is the time to get it if you haven't already. Go here and use the coupon code IDES at checkout.

To follow up with the "Read an e-book week," there are now 35 people who have bought (for free) the e-book version of Tellurian Suns. It's not Dan Brown, but it's a good start. It's impossible to know who or if they even read it, or what they thought of it, but at least 35 more people have a copy. And 6 people have downloaded a free sample, which by the way is always free at smashwords

Free book to ...

So today I gave a free book to where I get my hair cut. I figure when people are waiting for a hair cut they can glance at that and maybe take note of the contact info and/or google the title when they get home. It's kind of an experiment in marketing. I know it will be hard to know if I get any sales from that book I placed, but who knows what could come of it.
I wish I had my own business cards, though. I wrote some info on the back of the business's business card and stuck it in the book (with their permission, of course), but it would have been much nicer to have a little stack of my business cards in there for people that are interested. I'll have to work on getting my own business cards.
If you have any other marketing ideas, lay them on me in the comments. I'm open for suggestions!
