Newsletter 1: Sent - Mon, Aug 18th, 2014
Dear Ancient Origins reader
Welcome to the first Ancient Origins newsletter! Brought to you by the author of 2040: Revelations, Robert Storey. It’s been a while coming but now it’s underway I’ll be sending these newsletters out 3 to 4 times a year to keep you updated on anything and everything Ancient Origins related. If you’d rather not receive these please click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email.
So what’s the big news today? Well, after a slog to end all slogs I have finally finished the second book in the series, which follows on from where 2040: Revelations left off. The title of the new book is 2041 Sanctuary (1: Dark Descent). Why the number one you may ask? Well Dark Descent is actually part one of book two of Ancient Origins. Confused yet? Let me explain; Dark Descent can be read as a standalone book even if you haven’t read 2040: Revelations, however, I initially envisaged a book for each year in the Ancient Origins series which I have plotted out to 2045. Despite this the characters' lives took on a life of their own as I was writing, so much so I was forced to split 2041: Sanctuary into two books, the first being Dark Descent and the second will be called Let There Be Light. Just because Dark Descent is part one won’t mean you’re short changed, though, as it’s over two thirds longer than 2040: Revelations. Dark Descent is 868 paperback pages (including Appendices) whereas Revelations was only 494. Although we all know it's quality not quantity that matters, hopefully I’ve been able to provide both, but that will be for you to decide and for me to find out.
2041 Sanctuary (1: Dark Descent) will be available to buy as a paperback from Sancturian.com and as a Kindle eBook from Amazon within the next seven days (unless the print process goes pear shaped then it could be a tad longer). After this the paperback will then be added to eBay and Amazon and the eBook distributed to other outlets via Smashwords. If you’re buying a paperback and want the book signed specifically to you or a loved one, please include a message when ordering on Sancturian.com with PayPal. It’s also good to note eBooks will not contain all the images of emblems, logos, maps and diagrams in the Appendices due to file size constraints; however, we will endeavour to add these to the website when possible.
I hope this newsletter is well received; however, if you have any ideas or questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I will do my best to respond as soon as I am able. I will also be sending out another newsletter within the week to inform you when the book is available to buy.
Well, that’s it for now.
Take care and enjoy your day
Robert Storey
