Okay, this is my first post on the new website, so I’m still learning my way around this thing. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to kick things off with a cover reveal for the new Kid Sensation book, Replication. So without further ado, here it is:
As with the other books in the series, the cover was done by Isikol and I think he did a great job, as usual. As I keep saying, this one has been a long time coming, so I can’t wait to hit the “Publish” button on it.
So when do you think you’ll be hitting that button exactly? I know im really excited for it to be out.
Shooting to release this month. Have to get it back from my editor, review, then get it to my formatting guy. Once I get it back it’s usually a pretty quick process. Right now, I’ve pretty much got everything set up on Amazon; I basically just need to upload the manuscript and hit “Publish.”
Sounds great can’t wait to buy it.
Looks dope
Thanks.
Who’s on the cover this time?
What’s the latest projected release date?
That’s actually Jim (aka Kid Sensation) on the cover this time. For me, he’s a difficult character to put on a cover because of the way his powers manifest, but I decided to go for it (and I think it turned out well).
As noted above, no specific release date. I mean, I could pick a date far enough out that I know the book would be ready and then place it on pre-order. That would give readers certainty regarding the release date, but it would also likely add time because I’d be picking a date well after the book would actually be ready just to make sure I didn’t bust the deadline. (I believe Amazon punishes you harshly for messing that one up.) The best indication is probably this: as soon as I get the manuscript back from my editor, I’ll let everyone know. Hopefully, release will be something like a week later – assuming I can review it in quickly and then get it to (and back from) my formatting guy in a reasonable time.
So the blue aura and glow is supposed to be his healing ability? And the lightning is his speed powers?
The blue is his healing ability; the lightning is more a side-effect of other things, not in relation to his speed powers.
Is that the Caelesian battle armor?
No, this is a version of the Alpha League uniform.
Sweet, can’t wait to read it.
As a fyi one of my gamer tags is Kid_Sensation. Do you mind overmuch if I use your cover art as my profile pic?
Shoot me an email at kevinhardman@ihrpublishing.com.
Loving the new cover :). Can’t wait for the release, definitely looking forward to it!
Awesome (even more when it gets published, yeah? Hehe)
Jim somehow reminds me of Nick Sagar as Kevin Richards in Princess Switch — cute, charismatic and easy going (at least in the movie). And he’s got nice abs, too (really, have to mention that as well)!
LOL. I’ll let my cover artist know his work was well-received.
Kevin, Kevin…
I can barely wait. While I certainly enjoyed the in-the-interim Electra and Mouse companion novels, Jim’s novels are the ones that really appeal to me (and, no, not because that’s my name too; smile). After waiting ‘somewhat’ patiently for years, I’m now checking a couple times a day as I know release for Sensation #6 is near. God, the pure cruelty you’ve inflicted. I don’t know if my heart can take much more waiting; grin.
(Despite having a Kindle Unlimited membership with free Kid Sensation reads, I have enjoyed the series & companions so much, I have bought every single novel as I feel I need to have my own copies. {With #1 and #5 being my absolute favorites.} That’s how much enjoyment these works of yours have given me; smile.)
Thanks for the compliments and your support. For the record, I’m shooting to make the wait time until Book 7 much, much shorter.
That sounds very interesting would this shorter wait be say oh a day or so away from release? Maybe hopefully?
LOL. This one is going to be Kid Sensation #6. I’m going to try to get #7 out relatively quick thereafter.
Oh whoops your right guess I need to pay closer attention but I’m just so excited for the release.
Can we have a update when its coming out again?
Don’t have a set date yet. As soon as I get the manuscript back from my editor (which I’m hoping is any day now), I’ll review and then fire it off to my formatting guy, who is on standby.
*waits patiently*… checking the site everyday is being patient right?
Nope it’s not but don’t worry I’m right there beside you 🙂
Right! Checking it a couple times a day on the other hand wouldn’t be…
Oh, dang, I guess I can’t say I’m being patient; grin.
Even though you have kindle unlimited on most your books i still buy them to show my support. That being said Was wondering if you could post 1 more excerpt from replication so that it can hold us over till the release and you can see how well your new website works. If not thats cool ?
Thanks – i really do appreciate the support. As to another excerpt, ask and you shall receive. Sort of… Rather than another from “Revelation,” I’ll post an excerpt from an upcoming Kid Sensation story.
Awesome I remember you posted something about any more excerpts and you’d ruin the story. glad though that were getting something to tide us over.
