Convention Prep Update

27/9/2016

As you may have read, Armada Wars will be making its debut at the Sci-Feb convention in February 2017, with plans to attend at a number of other events including Comic Con.

Preparations have started months in advance, and here's some of the kit that's been acquired to make our participation both smooth and slick.

Not pictured: Haribo.

Many Site Improvements

18/9/2016

Various changes have been made to the web site in the past few days and weeks, to improve your experience:

The Events page was added to the News section, to let you know about upcoming conventions and other real world commotion.
Clutter has been removed from the home page.
You can now preview the Kindle version of all published books (e.g. Steal from the Devil) using the buttons under the cover image.
Book pages now include snippets of reader feedback for published volumes, with a link to see more. The volume's acronym is included in the volume details. The 'position in series' box now gives a natural language description as well as a bullet list.
The Universe page now has a list of subsections before the main content. Wouldn't want you to miss anything!
A site map was added to the About section.
The main menu was reorganised. Reader feedback now appears under Books. Features and Newsletter sign-up have been made children of the News section.
The series page for The Great War of the Shaeld has been redesigned, to improve its appearance and include all the future volumes.
Various subtle layout improvements have been made throughout the site.

Phew! Think that's everything. If you have any thoughts about these changes, please do leave a comment.

Armadaverse Joins PayPal Here

9/9/2016

Armada Wars is now signed up to the PayPal Here programme, which also means it is now a PayPal Check-In location.

What does this mean for you the customer/fan? RCV will start to promote the Armadaverse in the real world in 2017, so you'll be able to get paperback books, posters, or other paraphernalia signed right in front of you. This site and the official Facebook page will pre-announce all appearances.

Thanks to the little guy shown in the image, payments can now be made in person by swiping a card, chip and pin, contactless, Apple Pay, cash/cheque, and of course PayPal transfer.

If you're a fellow indie author, or a small/home business owner, I recommend taking a look at PayPal Here.

The card reader works in conjunction with the PayPal Here app, which lets businesses put together a product catalogue. It allows product options, tipping, tax calculation, Check In, and email or print receipts, plus it can integrate with the Constant Contact service so that customers can be added to your CC mailing list (if they so desire).
