Pilgrimage: ALIEN 777

Less a blog post, more a news item, I want to alert my readers that I've changed the title and republished "PILGRIMAGE" as "Pilgrimage: ALIEN 777". There are a couple of reasons.

One: Sales have stagnated. And while I am working on numerous other projects (of which I am expert at procrastinating) I thought I'd try repackaging this book and see if this new-ish title (it was in the running and could have been the original title) and previously used image (I used the current cover image for a while as "PILGRIMAGE") might jumpstart sales.

Two: One of the books that is coming (eventually) is a direct follow up to Pilgrimage: ALIEN 777 which has a working title of Pilgrimage: AFTERLIFE. There is an image of a possible cover included in the collage of covers on the "BOOKS" page of this website.

Pilgrimage: AFTERLIFE includes several of the main characters from Pilgrimage: ALIEN 777 (for those that have read ALIEN 777 here's a bit of a teaser, the True Believer team has grown with a couple of the ALIEN 777 participants working full-time with the Jonathan and Julia Shipmate researching the paranormal and televising their findings) however I am not calling it a series, yet. I am looking forward to writing more about the characters in the Pilgrimage books, but for now only the second is in the works.

For the cynics out there here's the good news. If you bought "PILGRIMAGE" through Amazon before (and the same should apply elsewhere) you will not be tricked into buying it again as the ISBN and ASIN numbers (which track sales of the books in eBook and paperpack format) have not changed, just the title and the image have changed. Amazon reminds you that you've purchased the book before when you pull up the listing for it. And besides, I don't want accidental respurchases, I want new readers for ALIEN 777 and I want previous buyers to come back for the next installment and the other titles I am preparing to release.

But please let me know what, if anything, you think about the altered title and/or cover. I am interested in receiving feedback. As for future releases, the best is yet to come. And THE INTERVENTIONIST is on the way.
