If you've been following along on my Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr accounts, you've seen that I've been re-reading all of my Lords of Kobol books. And taking notes.
First off, I aim to do some slight editing. "Slight," meaning "spelling, grammar, etc., corrections." Yes, even though I read these things a dozen times before they were published, I still missed some punctuation and such.
Secondly, I plan to insert color versions of the maps. I used black-and-white versions because I thought it would be most fair for people who had plain Kindles. I see from my download stats that most people are downloading it for laptop reading or iPhone/iPad reading, so that concern is nigh moot. (Also, on a graphical note, Smashwords wants me to increase the size of the covers, so they will have to be redone. Sigh.)
Thirdly, I may do some pruning. I found some chapters of Book One to be a little redundant so I may shift some things around and delete a chapter or two. I'm still reading Book Three, and it's the longest one, yet I don't recall much that could be considered chaff.
So ... what else am I planning?
You may recall that I said some time ago that I would delve back into the BSG-verse after I finished my foray into erotica. I said I would write Lords of Kobol - Book Zero.
Well, I might not write Book Zero.
Maybe Book Five.
Same thing? Sure. But why the odd numbering scheme?
My greatest concern is that a newbie would see all the books and download Book Zero first, thinking it should be read in that order. Sure, I could include a forward to warn against such foolhardy actions, but it may do no good.
Eh. I don't know. Maybe I'll stick with Zero. Let me know what you think. Should I just stick to Book Zero and hope the n00bs figure it out before they get spoiled?
Tick...tick...tick...
