July is a very busy month for my book sales!

I have a special Smashwords 50% off selected books for the whole month. A great chance to buy the first book in my Series at 99 Cents and the rest of the series at half off!  

I am still promoting my latest book, UTOPIAS - Book 0, Climate Crisis, at 99 Cents. I would appreciate reviews to help promote the Series. It is a good way to learn about Climate Change and its effects on the world. I just spin it a little to provide entertainment. 

As an extra bonus the entire UTOPIAS Dystopian Series ebook is available through Amazon KDP Unlimited and is on a Count Down Deal at $3.99 until July 11!

Please post some Reviews if you like this series of books. I appreciate your support. Also, check out my new YouTube book trailers as well found on my Website.

I released my latest book, UTOPIAS - Book 0, Climate Crisis! It's available on Preorder for $0.99. Official release date is May 27, 2020. Available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble (Nook) and Smashwords. I plan to release Paperback formats in June, then an ebook boxset in July. I updated all three books in this UTOPIAS Dystopian Series.

A brief book description follows:
By 2098 the human race is faced with a Sixth Mass Extinction Level Event from extreme climate change conditions caused by humans. The planet is dying. Humans will not be able to breathe the air within five years. They are presented with two choices; enter cryosleep for at least 100 years or die slowly from lack of oxygen, deadly carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and rising temperatures.

Promotion events to follow including a New Book Trailer I created using PowerPoint and Windows Live Movie Maker. Its available to watch on YouTube at this link:

Keep safe and keep reading Science Fiction!

March Madness! Not what we were all expecting-is it?

I started the month with a two week vacation in Florida visiting friends. I left two weeks later at the start of the Pandemic in the US.

To say the least, we were not prepared for the fast spread of the virus in all 50 states. The Federal government response was too slow and ineffective. We are still lacking PPE for our frontline doctors and nurses and others. Testing has been a joke. We can not predict how fast the spread can be stopped or slowed down to the lack of everything we need. At least the public is now mostly staying at home to slow down the virus. I hope we all learn from this pandemic and prepare for the next one like we should have prepared for this one.

As for my writing I am still editing and proofreading my next book and the two other books in the series. I plan to complete this project by the end of April. My cover designer is helping to fight the pandemic in Madrid. I hope to see my new covers soon. I never thought I would experience an apocalyptic event as bad as this outside of reading a Sci-Fi novel or watching a movie.

Please, everyone, do what you can to slow down this virus and help our doctors, nurses, delivery people and anyone else who is trying to stop this pandemic as soon as they can. Stay safe and stay at home if you can.

It was a busy year in 2019. I'm looking forward to more success in 2020.

I spent a great deal of time editing and proofreading my books. I decided it was time to release Paperback versions of my books, which required another round of edits for each book.

I released PB copies for The Guardians Series and Nanomachine War Series. Each series is a three book Trilogy, which are Space Opera Military Science Fiction stories. I believe they are very entertaining and have received 5 Star Ratings on Amazon.

In addition, I did the same for my very first novel, Alien Storm. This is a 400+ page novel about First Alien Contact that leads to a surprising conclusion. I hope you enjoy it. I giveaway free ebook copies on BookFunnel promos if you are interested.

I plan to release all my books in PB formats by the end of 2020. I do all the editing and proofreading myself to save money. I believe I find 99% of any errors by the time I release a book in PB. I use Amazon KDP for all my PB books. They look great.

I am currently working to complete my third book in the UTOPIAS Series. I decided to write a prequel I am calling Book 0, The Dark Years. It will cover the period from 2098 to 2099 when humans finally entered Cryostasis Sleep Chambers in underground bunkers due to the Climate Crisis. I am having a good time writing the novel since in pulls characters and events from Books 1 and 2. Of course, I am adding a lot of new information how everything began and the reasons behind it. I hope to release before summer 2020.

I tried a lot of new promotions, both free and paid, to promote my books in 2019. I am a bit disappointed it did not result in that many more sales in units or dollars. I believe this is due to the tremendous amount of Free and 99 Cent Only book sales in the marketplace today. I am also disappointed in the low response rate for Book Reviews for my books. Apparently, more work needs to be done to increase sales and reviews in 2020.

One new thing I will try in 2020 is to attend Book Fairs now that I have PB books available for sale. I already purchased what I need to attend my first fair. I just need to find some local library book events near me this year. If you hear of any, let me know.

Thanks to all readers of my Newsletters and participants in my BookFunnel Sales Promos in 2019. I hope to hear from you in 202o! Keep reading Sci-Fi if you are a fan.

December sales Have Begun! 
I reduced several of my books to the lowest prices ever. Check them out on my website or go to one of my online stores at Amazon, Nook or Smashwords for purchase.

I started my next book in the UTOPIAS Series. It will be a prequel story set in the year 2098 before humans had to go into cryostasis to survive the catastrophes caused by climate change. I hope to show what happens when world leaders refuse to do what is necessary to save our planet from too high CO2 levels. I hope to make this book as entertaining and educational as Books 1 and 2. It will be released in 2020.

For those of you who have read my books, please take the time to post a Review on Amazon or other site to encourage other readers to purchase my books. I have updated most of my work and released paperback versions in 2019. I will complete my updates for the remaining titles in 2020 with the release of my next book.

Thanks for following me on Facebook and Twitter. And don't forget to read my Book Reviews on Goodreads. I only post reviews for Sci-Fi Authors, so you will find over 186 book reviews to help you find your next read.

I recently had the privilege of giving an author interview with Author Voices, an online Gazette for writers and authors. You can read the whole interview at this link:
 https://authorvoices.com/authorvoices-author-interviews/interview-don-viecelli/.

​I decided to release a new Paperback book for Alien Storm, my first story released in 2002 and revised several times since I released it as an ebook. I completely updated the story and broke several long Chapters into smaller sections for easier reading.
The ebook is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords as usual. The Paperback book is only available in the US market at $15.99. The novel is a standalone book at 439 pages long. I hope you enjoy it and post some reviews.

My September Newsletter released on 9/13/19 offers several BookFunnel Sales Promos and free Giveaways, including several of my books. Sign up for the Newsletter at: http://www.subscribepage.com/donviecelli
and get Alien Storm for Free! 

I am currently offering all of my books at 50% Off on Smashwords for their Summer July Sale, except for books already priced at 99 Cents. Good time to get them at
​https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/donviecelli.

I am editing and proofreading all Nanomachine War Series books to prepare for the release of paperback versions by the end of July. Books 1 and 2 have been completed and released as version R4. Book 3 is in progress. I am confident I fixed 99%+ all previous errors. Its the best I can do without paying for expensive editors.

I just reduced prices on The Guardians - Books ​1-3 paperbacks from $14.99 to $12.99 each! These prices include free Ebook version with each purchase. Time to get them for beach reading.

I still need more positive Reviews for my books to reach more readers influenced by Amazon ratings. I appreciate those readers who already posted reviews for my books. It really helps Indie Authors a lot.
​

I released Nanomachine War - Book 3, Killer Nanoboids on May 27, 2019. This completes my NW Series Trilogy. Book 3 will be 25% off at $2.99 for a limited time only. It took longer than I had planned for my new cover, but it looks great thanks to the efforts of my cover designer based in Madrid. All three covers match and tell my story the way I planned.
I was not sure how to end the series until I learned more about nanoweapons in development by the military. They are scary and very deadly. I used the concept of tiny drones built by nanomachines or nanorobots/nanobots to create the killer swarms I used in the story. I created the name Nanoboids to describe how they swarm like a flock of birds or insects to attack their prey. I hope this type of nanoweapon is never developed for warfare.
Book 3 is my tenth full-length novel. It propelled me past One Million Words as a Sci-Fi writer and author. I hope the story is entertaining and thought provoking.
I will spend the summer promoting my series. I publish online through Amazon, Nook and Smashwords. I offer reduced pricing and special promotions throughout the year. I also use BookFunnel to giveaway Free books and Sell my work.
Everything I write can be found on my Website. It is very helpful for Indie Authors to get book reviews, so please take the time to post reviews on Amazon and other sites after reading my books. Thank you for doing this.
Sometime later in the year, I will offer print copies of Nanomachine War Series. It will require one more round of editing and proofreading, which takes time.
Lastly, consider signing up for my Newsletters, which emails 2 or 3 times each month. I include books from the Writers Of SciFi Indie Authors, which I am a member.
