…and there is a Pennsylvania Fanfic Anthology in the works that will include a new canonical Pennsylvania novella by me, and a dozen or more short stories written by the top Indie authors out there. In addition to that, I know of at least ten more authors who are currently penning stand-alone Pennsylvania fanfic stories. This is all very exciting, and I hope you will join me in celebrating all of this art set in a world I dearly love.

Pennsylvania is a story I’ve wanted to write for a long time. Amish sci-fi, because it seems so contradictory, is the perfect mechanism for telling a great story about the decisions we make about how we live, and the ramifications of those decisions. In my mind, Pennsylvania is the beginning of a longer tale that needs telling, but, as I was writing it, I had no idea if anyone would even be interested in an Amish sci-fi series. I’d love to tell more of the story, so I’ll wait and see what you readers think about it; if you like Pennsylvania as much as I do, then I’ll dive into it and give you more of the Pennsylvania tale.
Please follow me on Facebook so you can keep in touch with me and receive updates on the Pennsylvania idea.
It has become obvious in the publishing arena that people are looking for episodic stories that are inexpensive and that tell a great tale. Part of this revolution in publishing means that readers have more options in what kind of stories they buy—and in what format they receive them. The flipside to that reality is that authors—especially authors that serve as publishers as well—need the readers who love their stories to become teammates in the process. Pennsylvania is a self-published story, and I hope that it will be the first in a line of Pennsylvania stories that will eventually make up a larger work. That, of course, is up to you. Readers have more power than ever in determining what succeeds, what sells, and what stories are expanded.
As I’ve said before, the single most helpful thing that you can do to help me get the word out about Pennsylvania, other than get all of your friends and family members to read it, is to review the book on Amazon. It’s free for you to do so, and if you enjoyed it, it’s an excellent way to let other people know what you thought. You may not think a single review carries much weight, but in the new publishing world, reviews are critical to any work’s success. So, I am asking you to PLEASE, while it is still fresh in your thoughts, go to Amazon.com, or wherever you purchased the book, and write a review for it. Your review doesn’t need to be long; just a paragraph will do. It is a fact of the modern market that books with more reviews will sell more copies, get more attention, and have more credibility.
Again, I’d love to share more of the Pennsylvania story with you. I’ll wait to hear from you all so I’ll know that the story has an audience.
I would also be very pleased if you would share links to Pennsylvania on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else on the Internet where such things are shared and discussed.
And I’ve set up a Facebook page so you can keep up with news on the series:
