News: Bad and Good. And a plea.

8/4/2020

54 Comments

 
Over a year ago I posted to this blog to tell you that I’d been struggling with my health, but that I thought things were looking up. I’m sad and humbled to come back and tell you that feeling of well-being was overly optimistic and... it didn’t last. I continued to wrestle with fatigue, weakness, lack of concentration, and brain fog. 
 
It’s hard to describe accurately. It’s deeply personal. And I don’t think there’s any need to go into all the details, but I’m sure you can imagine that it was difficult to write under those conditions—the fear of producing an inferior product that would ruin my career was very strong and very real. I continued to seek answers with my doctors, but with symptoms that vague it can be very difficult to find answers.
 
I do see light at the end of the tunnel now, however, and it seems to be lasting.
 
The good news is that I received a new medical diagnosis in January. I am receiving treatment that has helped a great deal. Since January I’ve been slowly seeing my concentration come back, my problems with finding words slowly receding, and the general feeling of malaise easing. This new treatment has made a world of difference. 
 
I am writing. It’s slow-going, however I’m hopeful that I can deliver Convergence in early 2021. I’m still not fully recovered. I’m still pursuing further diagnosis and treatment, but I’m able to write again.
 
Now, to the plea...
 
I’ll cut to the chase and just be honest: If I’m not publishing new books regularly, I’m not making money. We’ve put on our grown-up pants and cinched up our belts, but it’s becoming rapidly apparent that is not enough. If I can’t find a way to generate some income I will have two choices: sell my house or get a job outside the home. Both options would be disruptive to my health, my family life, and my writing.
 
If you’re here, it’s because you’ve enjoyed my books. And I know there are other readers out there who would enjoy them too—they just haven’t heard of me yet! I’m going to ask you to help me find them… in a rather round-about way. 
 
(The direct way—telling friends and family—is always welcome too!)
 
I’ve created an omnibus of the first three books in the Confluence series, plus the three related short stories. It's called Confluence Codex 1, an Omnibus of the SciFi Series, Books 1-3 

(Click here if you reside outside of the US--this smartURL will redirect you to the Amazon store in your country.)

It’s well over 1000 pages of content, some of it never published outside of anthologies before. Perhaps some of this is new to you!
Picture
Normally, I will sell the digital version of the omnibus for $7.99 US (less than the cost of my first three books combined), but for a short time—just 48 hours—I have marked this collection down to $0.99 for my most loyal readers and I really hope that you’ll consider buying it while it’s set at that low price.
 
I know you probably already have all three of these books (Fluency, Remanence, and Inheritance), but you may not have read the related short fiction: “The Fall of the Percedus,” “Carindi,” or “The Grove.” And I believe that 99 cents is a very fair price for roughly 100 pages of story about some of the concepts and people you’ve come to love in my universe.
 
I have never set up a Patreon page because I felt that fulfilling monthly pledge requirements would take away from my writing time. But now I’m asking you to support me. I’m asking you to buy this book while I have it on sale for 99 cents.
 
How will such a small sum help me? Two ways.
 
First, it will tickle Amazon’s algorithm. It will show Amazon that there is interest in this book so that the Almighty Zon will start showing it in search results. If that were to happen, the effect could snowball, and when the omnibus returns to full price, it could continue selling well on its own—helping me find new readers who will hopefully go on to buy more of my books over time.
 
Second, I’m also hoping that you’ll find it in your heart to leave a review (an honest one, of course!). I’d like to be able to advertise this omnibus as soon as possible—but the best marketing I can buy requires that the book has enough reviews to display a kind of social metric. I could wait for those to populate organically, but honestly if this gambit is going to work, I don’t have the luxury of waiting months and months for that to happen.
 
So, if you can, please help me out and spend the 99 cents on this omnibus. Then consider leaving a verified review about the collection. I’ll do the rest. And I’ll keep working away at bringing you Convergence, which I believe will surprise and delight you. 
 
It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but I hope you’ll consider it—but only if you can. Times are tough all around right now. If you’re struggling too, please put your family first. 
 
99 cents. For you, the price of a candy bar. For me, if enough of you choose to help, the chance to keep working on my dream—writing more books for you to enjoy.
 
If you can’t help—I still thank you. You’ve purchased my books in the past. You follow my social media. You’re curious about me and my life. That’s more than I could ever have asked for. I know these are hard times. I’m grateful for each and every reader.
 
I wish all the best for you and your loved ones during this troubled time and I sincerely appreciate your support.

​Convergence in 2021!

 
Read on!

I want to thank you for your contribution to the literary world. When I picked up Fluency for the first time I fell in love with 1. the texture of the cover (weird I know) 2. Jane (she has my dream job) 3. The entire storyline (it really just spoke to me). You are one of the two authors I will buy one of everything you sell. I have the audiobooks and the paperback books and the omnibus on the way. I really hope you get to live your dream. Good luck. Remember to smile.

I can only repeat the things others have said here: i love your books, i would've bought the codex for 4.99 and i'd also gladly support you if you did decide on a Patreon page. I know the value of supporting writers and content makers in an age where so much content may be free to access but where you get the exact value for money you'd expect when you get things for free.

So let me turn it around and ask you to reconsider to let us support you however we can. Patreon is (for me) not about getting rewards/pledge requirements from you. It's about supporting you so can take the time to write the stories i really want to read. And letting you know we're all invested and interested in you and the stories. A monthly 50 words update is reward enough for me :-)

Take care and i'll let the people in my bookclub and social media know they should really buy the codex when it hits the 7.99 price. It's still an amazing bargain then.

I will order it Jennifer. I teuly conmesurate with you. I am in a similar position as you. Have left my job on sick leave due to personal problems, which refuse to be resolved, and likewise my writing has suffered as well due to this. I am trying to complete the story arc of my heroic fantasy book(s); yet, my health problems keep pushing its resolution further down the line.
I love your book(s), and I have to say you have impressed me immensely with your storytelling skills. Your first book filled me with the longing to wish my first one could even fare slightly as well as Fluency did. I admire you, and envy your skill indeed. Wish you the best, and I hope you get better. Love...Carlos

We both know you are a great writer & I enjoy your books or I wouldn’t be on your mailing list so forgive me if I skip that part of reaching out to you.

Thank you for opening up about your struggles. I am not a medical doctor but I do know the symptoms you described & some you didn’t. You are not alone or crazy. Look up Fibromyalgia on any medical website. There are support groups on Facebook & probably any other social media site you may use. Not a joiner? Feel free to write me at the email listed above. In any case, I wish you the best with the treatment your doctors have you on & like everyone else I look forward to your next new release. There is one good thing about the memory loss, I can reread all the books & while I’ll have a feeling I’ve read them before I won’t remember enough to to make me stop reading so while your other fans are waiting I’ll get reacquainted with your works. (There aren’t many perks to having a condition like Fibromyalgia so I try to make the best of the ones I do find).

Hey, Laura--thank you! My medical diagnosis is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's related to Fibromyalgia and thought to have the same cause. It flares up from time to time and for the past year or so it's been a bad one. I also have two sleep disorders which were just diagnosed in January. And I'm pursuing another diagnosis which may help with some of my symptoms. I do NOT like being sick! All my best to you for as many pain-free days as possible. <3

I’m so sorry to hear about your continuing health troubles! I bought the omnibus for $0.99 but I would’ve been happy to pay full price. I found you and started reading your books through Kindle Unlimited so there may be one or two I don’t own yet. I’ll be sure to go check and complete my collection later. Have you considered selling signed copies of your books? I’ve bought several signed copies of books I’ve loved from small, independent authors before and I would be happy to do so again! But most importantly, please take care of yourself! I can’t imagine any of your fans would want you to prioritize writing above your health.

I'm sorry to hear about your health struggles. I know what it's like to visit doctor after doctor, trying to find answers. I was fortunate to eventually find mine, but I was also hurt by my family during the journey as they started to believe it was just laziness and that if I moved more, the pain would go away. In the end, my pain was validated and it was really amazing how I managed to endure it as well as I did. I was lucky that surgery helped. But it's a chronic problem that has required multiple procedures.

Anyway, I probably should have asked this question before I ordered the set. I paid for it separately, but I'm now a Kindle unlimited subscriber and noticed that it was available free to me with it. Does that make a difference or was it better that I purchased it independently? I already owned the first two (and read the first). #2 is buried in my massive collection of "need to reads" and I probably need to reread Fluency all over again because I have absolutely no book recall anymore. But I'm looking forward to moving it up the list for reading since I recall enjoying it immensely. My problem stems from reading books before the following books are available and then I have to start from the beginning to refresh my memory when the next one comes out. I hate my memory issues, so I can totally sympathize with what you are going through.

Wishing you the best luck with your health (and future writing)!

I'm sorry to hear that you've had to struggle with health problems too, and glad you got that validating diagnosis. It can be so hard with invisible illnesses. It doesn't matter how you read the books, Kindle Unlimited or not--I still get paid! Unless something drastic changes, my books will be in Kindle Unlimited for the long term.

Hi Jennifer,
I'm think I came across your omnibus from something Kindle sent me. I thought what the heck I'm only out a dollar. I was hooked after a few chapters. I just purchased volumes 4 &5.
I know your illness has slowed you down, but don't let that worry you. There's no way you'll make me wait over ten years as George Martin has.

Dear Ms. Wells,

First, let me apologize for the length of this little missive — but, I have number of things that I feel I must convey.

Second, let me also apologize for NOT buying your omnibus. I have what I think (and, hope that you agree) is a legitimate reason — namely, I already own ALL five books in the Confluence series (plus, ALL of the related short stories — which I tracked down in their respective volumes, and, then, purchased just for YOUR stories).

Third, I'm in my early sixties, and have been reading science fiction for a little over fifty years. My favorite type of science fiction has always been “hard” science fiction. Therefore, not surprisingly, some of my favorite authors are Isaac Asimov (whom, until recently, I considered to be the best), Murray Leinster, Clifford D. Simak, Robert A. Heinlein, Henry Kuttner, Arthur C. Clarke, Larry Niven and (though not quite as “hard” on the science) Robert Silverberg, Fredric Brown, Theodore Sturgeon and Harlan Ellison. All of whom are, above ALL else, in my opinion, excellent writers; and, all of whom I also consider as the kings of science fiction!

Fourth, most of the so-called science fiction that I've read from more contemporary authors seems to be much closer to fantasy than science fiction. Also, most of it isn't very well written, either — since, most of the writers these days seem to be more concerned with being “cinematic” and showing how clever they are by, for example, inventing new slang (or even whole new languages), instead of writing a coherent story. Thus, I despaired of ever deriving the pleasure from the contemporary version of the genre that I still do from re-reading the “classics” of the genre.

Then, a few years ago, an interesting thing happened. I chanced upon a synopsis for a first-contact story that sounded mildly intriguing, to wit: In the 1960s NASA discovered an alien ship lurking in the asteroid belt; and, years later, when they finally developed the technology, they sent out a ship of their own to investigate the alien craft. Now, I didn't have high hopes for this book because it was by an author that I had never heard of (turns out, because it was her debut novel) — but, since I could borrow it as a free read-of-the-month, as part of my Amazon Prime subscription, I said: “What the heck, let's give it a try”. And, lo and behold, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Here, finally, was a contemporary science fiction author who REALLY understood science! Not only that, but she REALLY knew how to tell a story!!! And, she wrote in a clear, crisp, unadorned style that reminded me a lot of Asimov's style (which, by the way, I think, is HIGHLY underrated, because most people don't understand how difficult it is to write CLEARLY and CONCISELY). Needless to say, I was VERY impressed by this new author — but, could she do it again, I wondered?

Then, about two years later, she came out with the sequel (which, I again, borrowed as a free read-of-the-month) — and, lo and behold, it was EVEN BETTER than the first novel!

Then, eight months later, she releases her third novel — though, it was not about the characters in the first two novels, still, it was set in the same universe — and, it was also EXCELLENT! Now, I break down and buy ALL three novels; because (like with all of my favorite books) I just HAVE TO read them all again (and, again...and, again...) until the next installment, in EITHER, story comes out!

Then, about a year later, she came out with the fourth novel (which I BOUGHT as soon as it dropped) — and, lo and behold, it was the BEST ONE YET!!!

To make an already too long story a bit shorter, I sought out (and bought) EVERYTHING that she (meaning you) has written. You, Jennifer Foehner Wells, are now my favorite science fiction writer (eclipsing the late, great, Isaac Asimov)! And, just like in chess, when the QUEEN (you) comes 'round, even the kings (Asimov, Simak, Clarke, et al) must bow down! Long may you reign! And, I hope that you feel MUCH BETTER, very soon!

Lastly, until your next masterpiece arrives, I'll just keep re-reading everything that you've written thus far.

As ever, your loyal subject, me.

Dear Chic,

My goodness! Thank you so much. You just made my day so much brighter. I have heard similar comments from other people in your age bracket (meaning: only ever so slightly older than myself!) and I always find it flabbergasting (because I think of myself as an entertainer).

I can only say with certainty that I read a lot of the classics as a teenager and during those formative years, some important elements must have stuck deep in my subconscious. I have never tried to emulate a style, only to use my own voice and let it shine through--sometimes hopeful, sometimes cynical, just as I am. So I can only guess about where this comparison comes from, but no matter--it's a pleasure to hear. Thank you for sticking with me.

When books aren't selling well I will have to remember these comments and remind myself that all I need is more advertising because once people find me, they generally enjoy my work.

Bless you for taking the time to type your thoughts. They helped me today.

Dear Ms. Wells,

Thank you for your kind response to my rather long winded musings.

Now, after getting some sleep and coming back to re-read my rambling missive, I find that I must apologize to you yet again! After going on and on (and on...) about clarity and conciseness, I see that I only implied my second most important point for writing to you in the first place (the first point, of course, being my desire to express my wish for your speedy recovery). The only (admittedly, weak) excuse that I can offer in my defense for rambling is that as a STEM-personality male, I have a penchant toward monologues (which, as you can see, I'm doing, yet, again).

Anyway, finally, to the point: YOU WRITE BEAUTIFULLY!

My comparison of your style of writing to that of the greats of classic science fiction (particularly Asimov) was meant as the HIGHEST form of praise! For, in my opinion, like the greats, you have that rare gift of clear, concise, unadorned, BEAUTIFUL prose (only better than them, in quite a few cases). Also, unlike many of them (particularly Asimov [his ONLY major failing, in my opinion]) your gift for dialog is OUTSTANDING! When your characters interact verbally (or, telepathically, as the case may be) it's as though we, your reading audience, is eavesdropping on the conversations of real people. Your plots, character development and pacing are all EXCELLENT! Your staging (i.e.—the description of WHERE the action takes place) is almost always perfect — that is, not too much extraneous detail (a MAJOR failing these days with most writers of nearly all genres), nor too little.

In short: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE!!!

And, by the way, beautiful writing is HIGHLY entertaining (so, yes, you are a gifted entertainer, as well)!

As to the matter of advertising for your books: I couldn't agree more. Work like yours deserves to be known about far and wide. In my little corner of world, I tell all my friends who read science fiction about your books (and they all love them); and, I also tell all of my friends who read romance novels about your work (admittedly, many of them are reluctant, at first, to try your work because they don't think that they will like science fiction). Other than word-of-mouth, however, I have no idea how to introduce more people to your work — so, maybe you should look into that, and other ways, to introduce people to your work, he humbly suggests. ;-)

Again, as ever, your loyal subject, me.

P.S. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue back in 1985; and, as a professional computer programmer (who, obviously, relies on his ability to think for his livelihood), I know all too well the MAJOR frustration of NOT being able to think as clearly (or as creatively) as you normally do (that, coupled with the additional MAJOR frustration of being TIRED ALL OF THE DARN TIME). So, please, take all of the time that you need to get better.

Hi Jen. Seeing how 2020 has been the year of "Incision" for me (2 surgeries, one more coming) and some rather perplexing health issues, I can fully relate.

I just wanted to let you know that I would be more than happy to pay for Book #6 upfront, if that is something you want to or can explore.

I am sure others feel the same way.

Other than that, keep trucking along, eventually the light at the end of the tunnel will be just that... the light!

Jennifer, I hope your healing continues in rapid fashion. I just got this blog after having finished Vengeance today, Aug 23, 2020. I had first started reading Fluency in Sept 2015, so I am a long-time fan of yours. I just happily paid $7.99 for the Confluence Codex, so I can read the short stories. If you have another way to donate money to you towards your healing, please let me know!

I wanted to thank you for many hours of pleasurable reading. I recently read Fluency from a local library (through Overdrive), but couldn't find any of the others in the series locally, so I came to your blog and saw your post. I missed the $0.99 deal on Amazon, but was happy to pay the regular price on Amazon for the Omnibus, which I greatly enjoyed. I'm now eagerly looking forward to reading Valence and Vengeance for the first time (having now also purchased them from Amazon).

Thank you for sharing your delightful imagination with us.

Your writing is very enjoyable. I'm not a scifi fan boy, and it is hard for me to connect with a lot of scifi writers. The Confluence series is great.

I too would pre purchase a copy of the next book in the series at full Kindle price. Even if it did not come to fruition, it would be a worthy investment.

In my late 20's I had a similar health crisis, that was never fully diagnosed or treated. After about two and a half years of feeling like death each day, and having odd and disturbing symptoms, I just had to decide to live until I died. This didn't make the symptoms go away, but it refocused my mind from dealing with what felt like dying to focusing on trying to live and appreciating every moment with my family more.

Over the years, I guess my body learned to deal with whatever had happened, and most of my issues got better, or I accepted them the point of not noticing them. It is interesting to hear the effects of the novel coronavirus, as medicine starts to understand these. It certainly makes me think what happened to me could have possibly been viral. It just was not something the medical community could label at the time.

Anyway, time will likely improve your condition.

Best wishes. Take care.

Dear Jennifer I just came on here to see if any update on book 6 and I read that you have been struggling with health issues which I am very sorry to hear and I send you my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I too would be happy to pay for book 6 upfront if that's a possibility and I will happily purchase the trilogy also.
All my very best
Liz

Hi Jen, I loved your Confluence series and came here looking for the last book. I find your health challenge matches mine exactly and have much I can share. Your regular doctors have not a clue and will drain your bank account "looking" for the cause. I k ow the cause but cannot divulge here due to liability. Contact me at my email left with this post. I have a vested interest in your health because I wish to read the next book! I love your work....hope to hear from you. Much respect and love.
