The Martian Diaries: Vol. 3 Gateway To Mars

The Martian Diaries: Vol. 3 Gateway To Mars (The Martian Diaries: An Alternate History and Time Travel Adventure, Continuing The War Of The Worlds)

Picture
Multi-volume, science-fiction author, H. E. Wilburson introduces us to the latest volume in the Martian Diaries series, "Gateway to Mars": 
The War Of The Worlds Continues On The Moon And Mars!
Time is running out for planet Earth. Marseria, the insidious Martian plague, has been infecting our planet for over twenty years and has resisted every human effort to eradicate it.
With all life on Earth facing extinction, the only solution left is to directly access a specific piece of Martian technology. But, according to diaries left behind by Ogilvy the astronomer, the Martians have hidden it at the lake on the moon.
In 1945, three rockets converted from Martian cylinders take off on the vital lunar mission, and amongst the crew is Ogilvy's nephew, Jack Stent. Will the astronauts locate the Martian shadow-weapon, thought to hold the desperately needed cure for Marseria? Can it really be used to instigate another timeline on Earth so that mankind can survive? The stakes are high and so is the risk of contact and conflict with Martians.
Nearly two hundred years later, at a scientific colony on Mars, a shocking discovery is made about Jack Stent, and Ogilvy's Martian diaries are once again pivotal to human survival and the continuation of life on Earth.
Gateway To Mars is the third volume of The Martian Diaries series that continues the classic H.G. Wells Mars novel in a compelling, unmissable action adventure. If you're a fan of The War Of The Worlds you won't want to miss this story of survival, despair and hope, that brings the original tale full circle. Get your copy today!

I have read/listened to the first two books and this series' conclusion is shocking and satisfying on multiple levels.
I won't give any spoilers, but each section of the book is well done and left me breathless. The alternate history timeline is an exciting way to move through the story and is quite relatable.
If you like science fiction you will love this story and the time travel angle is not overdone in the least. This story is a worthy extension of the work of H. G. Wells, the father of science fiction and gets 5 stars from me.

I love the series you have created to continue the classic "War of the Worlds". The first section of this book surprised me quite a bit. It was very dark and quite well done. The plotting of the rest of the book was a lot of fun, especially the alternate history timeline.

First question.

Are you a full-time or part-time writer?

What kind of work do you do if you are a part-time writer? Feel free to skip that question, if you would rather not answer.

Hello Mark, that's an interesting question and to be honest, I consider myself an extremely reluctant writer. I have had to write full time in order to have any chance of completing the project, which has meant living modestly on a tight budget, keeping the same car going and having no holidays to speak of.

Writing the book is only one part of the process as you know, and I am more comfortable in the studio working on the audio version with sound, rather than words.

However, volume 3 of the Martian Diaries is now finished and I am humbled that the ebook series has been well received. Covid changed so many things and if the pandemic had not
happened, and there were no restrictions, I am certain volume 3 would have been completed sooner.

It always feels good to finish a book, and to be away from the toil of choosing and justifying why each word exists in the text. Book 3 is written for fans of The War Of The Worlds and is an extension to the original story.

That kind of passion does require many sacrifices, without a doubt. Your audio books are quite good. I was reminded of when I was a boy and I listened to old-time theater on the radio. I loved the images that were conjured in my mind by the words and sounds coming from my crystal radio.

I am a man of written words. I read quite fast and learned at an early age to tune out noise when I was reading. Many decades later, that talent works against me when it comes to audio books. I have found that if I don't speed up the playback to 1.5 times the normal speed, I cannot maintain my focus on the audio book. At least, technology allows me to do that now.

It's wonderful that you have the gift of being able to see words effortlessly. That's something that is a challenge for me. I'm an auditory person and I prefer to hear words.

My writing for The Martian Diaries hasn't stopped entirely as I'm now working on bonus material for a later edition of volume one. This is a personal perspective from the astronomer Ogilvy, one of H.G Wells' original characters in The War Of The Worlds, who features heavily in my first two books. I'm excited to be creating some of his most significant diary entries from the time of the first invasion from Mars in 1906 until his death in 1920. One of the things he reveals is how the Martian cylinder was transported from the mountain in Wales to London, and how he set up his acclaimed Exhibition of Martian Artefacts at the historic Crystal Palace. It's been an interesting new challenge which I hope to complete in the near future.

Thank you. No question, I am definitely a visually oriented person.

Your fans will be pleased to have some supplemental material like that. Ogilvy's diary might also be a fun piece of merchandise to offer in a deluxe, leather-bound edition. You might find some success with that in a crowdfunding project like on Kickstarter or some other platform. Here is a copy-and-paste link to a blog about one author's success: https://kriswrites.com/2020/07/22/business-musings-the-kickstarted-game-changer-part-two/ Or you can hit the search box below.

New question.

Since the writings of H. G. Wells are in the public domain, my assumption, have you considered giving any of his other sci-fi books a similar treatment as The War of the Worlds?

Thanks for the crowdfunding suggestion. It's something that I'm planning to do once I have new book covers made next year. Hardback books, special editions and other merchandise are part of my forward planning.

In answer to your question, I have thought about it off and on, and my H.G Wells book of choice would be The Invisible Man simply because, like The War Of The Worlds, there are a lot of questions left unanswered. It would be challenging but a lot of fun to explore what happens next, especially with Dr Griffin's notes, leftover chemicals and formulae lying around. Who might find them first – and why – after which, anything could happen.

I'm glad I wrote The Martian Diaries when I did, even though it has taken seven years to complete all three books. Any other project would be a single volume.

You are welcome.

That is an exciting choice. The Invisible Man is an interesting choice. I saw a movie with that title, as a boy, it was black and white. I found it exciting and scary!

Single-volume projects are a good idea and will likely go faster because you have honed the necessary skills.

The audiobook versions of volumes 1 and 2 of The Martian Diaries were each awarded 5 stars by Readers Favorite. The audio of volume 2, Lake On The Moon, was a bronze medal winner in the Readers Choice Awards 2020. Later in 2020 I was invited to submit both volumes to the Los Angeles Science Fiction Film Festival (Audio Drama category) and was thrilled to receive Gold awards for Best Writer, Best Audio Drama and Best Sound Mix, a Silver award for Best Soundtrack and The Asimov Gold Award. I've been too busy recently to think about other contests, but it's definitely in my future plans.

I noticed that your book is not in Kindle Unlimited. Is there a reason for that?

Have you ever gone through the query process? Were you seeking an agent or submitting directly to publishers and why did you choose that path?

I have chosen not to put my books in Kindle Unlimited because I wanted to make them available to a wide range of platforms, rather than be exclusive to Amazon. However, Amazon does have an advantage over other platforms by offering a book series page. This means I can use one universal Amazon link for my whole series https://mybook.to/themartiandiaries and people can read about my continuation of The War Of The Worlds all on one page. Unfortunately the reviews for each individual book do not accumulate collectively on the series page, which has to be reviewed as a separate entity. I am actively promoting The Martian Diaries series page at the moment to increase my Amazon visibility, and asking reviewers to also leave a comment on the whole series.

When I originally conceived the idea of a continuation of The War Of The Worlds it was more of an immersive audio experience than as books. I wanted to showcase my own music compositions and, with the added sound effects, I initially believed that was the USP (unique selling point) of The Martian Diaries. As I developed my writing for volumes 2 and 3 (which are very much longer than volume 1) I realised the potential of multiple options for the customer. I published volumes 1 and 2 as ebooks in 2021 after I saw a demand for text versions. However I wanted to complete the audio versions of the whole series before publishing in a variety of formats. The next stage will be to make physical copies available, and expand all the options, such as special editions, large print versions, audiobooks without the music, and the music on its own. I'm not sure I would consider placing my books in Kindle Unlimited in the future because that would prevent me from selling direct from my website which I would like to do. Book Funnel have developed some exciting ways that self published authors can do that quite easily.

Earlier in the course of this project I made approaches to two or three traditional publishers but it became clear that The Martian Diaries cannot be easily categorised, and they had trouble seeing a niche for it. Independent or self publishing has now become mainstream and I can see the many benefits of staying in control of my own creations. I may decide to query agents at some point in the future.

I think going wide is a wise option. It never ends well when you put all of your eggs into one basket. Several years ago, Amazon started cracking down on paid reviews, review mills and authors swapping reviews. Many innocent reviewers got caught up by the algorithms and lost all of the reviews they had placed; some were even banned from Amazon. Quite a few authors saw their entire catalog disappear from Amazon. Some were able to navigate a lengthy reinstatement process and some weren't. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Thank you for reminding me, I will leave a review for the series.

Many audio books have little or no sound effects. I found that the story was enhanced quite a bit with the extra sounds.

I think you and other authors are much better off, in the long run, as independent or self-publishing authors. The Traditional publishing industry has suffered extreme contraction since Amazon started allowing anyone to publish books. Truly a novelty in the beginning, now indie publishing is the mainstream for authors. Many traditionally published authors are discovering the independent market and are selling books quite well.

I don't know how different my books would be if published by a major publisher, except I would hope for an increased awareness of The Martian Diaries. I would like to think I could keep control of the content and have it pretty much as it is. A new publisher would probably want fresh covers, which I'm planning for 2023. Although my existing covers were professionally designed, I want new artwork that features Martian tripods, to make it obvious that that my books are linked to The War Of The Worlds, even before people read the book description.

I'd like to go back to your comment on being surprised at how unexpectedly dark the first part of Gateway to Mars is.
The book feels different to my first two volumes because it is from the perspective of a new protagonist, Part one of the story has difficult tasks to perform, necessary for the storyline. Writing it kept me awake for months on end and I came very close to giving up on the whole project because of the challenging complexity of the concepts. That first part of the book is of pivotal importance to The Martian Diaries, and how my series connects to The War Of The Worlds, and had to be written a certain way. Once I had finished the final draft of part one the editing of it was the most difficult in the book to complete. I am pleased with the way it turned out and it would be wonderful to watch the entire sequence of events play out on a very large screen one day.

So many authors have lamented about the changes the publisher required in their book. One friend and client had several volumes written in a series that was well received. She submitted the fifth book to several publishers. One responded positively and wanted her to rewrite the story taking it out of the series. She declined.

I understand the first priority of a publisher, like any other business, is to stay in business. Publishing at any level is difficult and fraught with many variables that the publisher has little or no control over. They are doing their best to stay in business, but the profit margins are very slim. The traditional publishing industry is down to the big 5 and it looks like it will stay that way because the federal government seems unwilling to permit the joining of PRH and S&S. For most publishers, a book is merely a product to sell and make a profit from.

I think your idea for the new covers is a good one. Send them to me when they are done and I will replace what is on my website now.

It has been said that easy reading is very hard writing. I believe the first section was very difficult to write because it came off so well. Dying is a difficult concept because not many live to tell us about it. Much research and rewriting had to be the order of the day.

Seeing the first section on the big screen would be interesting, without a doubt. I visualize a mashup of "The Martian" and "Castaway". Both of those actors had to struggle against hopelessness and despair.

New question.

There are many unethical practices in publishing, which one is the most unbearable in your mind?

Reply
H. E. Wilburson link

To me, the most unethical practice revolves around audiobooks, which are apparently big business at the moment, and my thoughts here are about fiction audiobooks.

My biggest concern is authors are being paid tiny royalties on their audiobook sales by the big retail platforms, who prefer to give away the audiobook for free in order to build huge monthly subscription libraries. If the customer signs up to the subscription because of a particular audiobook, virtually nothing is paid to the author for the giveaway. Authors are reluctant to leave popular sites because they would lose their hard-earned reviews. The platforms probably know this and they are not playing fair.

Authors are creative people and there's always a way around a problem if we work together. I think a way forward is to sell directly to the public from our own websites and I have begun to see a shift towards that idea, with new technology that makes the transaction smooth for the customer. Book Funnel has recently implemented some great tools and payment facilities that are really going to revolutionise direct selling for authors and they are reporting a big uptake from the self-publishing sector. We authors should help our customers by doing everything we can to make their purchase experience pleasant, easy and trustworthy. Only we can educate them about how they can support creative people in the fairest and most ethical ways. I'm sure if the public knew how little we're paid for our work they would be shocked and perhaps keen to support us more, by buying direct.

I have known for a long time that audiobooks are expensive to produce. But I didn't know that Amazon was compensating authors so little. The platform should still be paying royalties to the author whether the product was paid for or not by the consumer. Books and audiobooks are merely another product in the eyes of Amazon and other sales platforms.

Amazon is notorious for messing with authors' royalties, a little over a year ago I heard about a lawsuit against 'Zon because they were allowing consumers to return books up to a year after the purchase and they were deducting that refund from the royalties in a very non-transparent fashion.

New question.

You have written the story, composed your own music for the audio books and others provide the narration. I am assuming you assemble the different parts to create the audio books. Do you have your own recording equipment and studio, or do you rent a studio? What kind of equipment and software do you use?

Being on a limited budget it was cheaper to build my own recording studio using second-hand equipment, rather than rent one, in order to produce The Martian Diaries. I certainly kept eBay busy with all the equipment I required! I had a lot of technical issues and ended up feeling like a computer engineer, but eventually I found out why an Apple Mac Pro 'early 3.1' was the best and only machine for the job, after countless hours learning Logic Pro 9. Thankfully my initial gut feeling about having my own studio was right, and I have paid just once to have 365-day access to my own equipment, at any time, day or night.

Very good, you have the equipment and a dedicated space, so your only limits are your choice.

Years ago, I helped a musician friend from church with his home recording studio. In the basement with the furnace, he was bedeviled by noise from the furnace. I ran a 20"-diameter flexible duct for the return air away from his studio, that was enough to dampen almost all of the noise.

In order to breathe in my studio, I had to install 4” ducting directly through the wall. It had to be done in such a way as to allow the air in but keep noise from outside to a minimum.

I'm old enough to remember the moon landings but at the time I had no idea what was actually happening in the grainy pictures being beamed back from the moon. As a child, BBC astronomer Patrick Moore, who later became Sir Patrick, used to be my hero with his infectious excitement about all things space. Then there was Tomorrow's World, a tv programme about innovation and futuristic design. I was very excited about space exploration, especially when it was suggested humans would have a base on Mars by the early 1990s. Imagine my delight when I came across a set of fiction books at the local library, set on other planets. I knew there were more titles out there by the same author but it did not occur to me to ask the librarian to reserve copies from elsewhere, so those four books got read to death! The books were by Hugh Walters and the titles I read and enjoyed were: Spaceship To Saturn, Mission To Mercury, Nearly Neptune and Expedition Venus. Not only would it be great to re-read them but I always wanted to get my hands on a Passage To Pluto!

We all need fresh air to breathe. When I retired from construction, 5 or 6 years ago, I was a sheet metal worker and an HVAC technician. I had to ensure that a certain amount of fresh air was constantly available to the occupants.

We are much alike; the space missions were very exciting for me also. The video of activity on the moon mesmerized me as well. The NASA missions to space stimulated my interest in science fact and fiction. I read little else beyond science fiction for several years. It is still a favorite genre with fantasy being a close second.

I am sure I would have enjoyed those books also if I had known of them. I grew up in a small town, with less than 2,000 people living there. Our public library was not very large, but I proudly had my own library card as a pre-teen.

I like all three books in The Martian Diaries, not because I am the author, but because they were specifically written to entertain fans of The War Of The Worlds. Yes, there have been other sequels to H.G Wells' iconic book, and likely others will come along, but I wanted to explore why there are no Martians on our Mars today.

Whenever I listen to the audio versions I notice details I've forgotten, which always comes as a surprise, and I can enjoy the plot of the story just as a listener.

The stereo in my car has a major fault: when the engine is turned on the mp3 player automatically reverts the audio back to the very beginning and you have to manually locate where you were listening previously. The opening of volume one, The Day Of the Martians, gets repeated often and I find it just great to listen to. especially chapter two - Train Journey. Harry Preston's voice, the sound of the train and the music all combine to create a scene which I am reluctant to turn off. “Dappled light of summer... the cathedral of the locomotive...” With soaring polyphonic strings and the distinctive sound of steam trains, it's feel-good stuff for me, every single time. When I first heard that chapter in the studio I knew I had acquired the necessary skills to actually do what I had set out to achieve: create The Martian Diaries.

Then there is life itself, which is a strange concept if you think about it. You have dark or light, hot or cold, jagged or smooth, yes or no, but what is the opposite to life? Children ask, “Where do babies come from?” and perhaps that question is the elephant in the room for more than one reason. I think that whatever the moment is, before the start of life, that is the opposite to life—but nothing like death, which is the end result.

Volume three, Gateway To Mars, is growing on me. This is my question to anyone who has read it: is Alan Sterling, the protagonist, a likeable character?

Rediscovering forgotten details in a story is a delightful experience. I have experienced it many times in the past but not recently because I haven't reread anything in quite a long time. My TBR pile is lengthy.

While somewhat annoying, the car stereo fault has also brought you pleasure from the sounds of it.

Many have pondered life and its purpose. You are not alone in this regard. Before life there is a void, the living bear witness to that. For me, death is a transition from a temporal form to a different and permanent form.

Your question is pretty good. I find Alan to be very relatable, doing the best he can with what he has, even in the face of professional censure.

A friend gave good advice about reviews once: although no one likes to get bad ones, a review is a review—move on!

I find writing plots very easy. I can map out a story quickly and accurately, but it is the conveying of difficult ideas, simply and precisely, which takes time and much effort. Although the plot for volume 3 hardly changed from the first draft, the words did, and as I have already mentioned, part one of volume 3 cost me twelve months, perhaps more, of ongoing agony, lack of sleep and self doubt before I could finally say I was happy with it. The only thing that kept me going was not wanting to disappoint fans, friends and family. I'm glad that horrible time is long gone and I look forward to sitting back and listening to the story once the studio editing of the narration is out of the way. Adding the music and sound effects should be far less stressful and, dare I say it, enjoyable.

I tell authors that a bad review proves that the good reviews are written by someone other than your mother and her cats. Readers are smart enough to recognize a troll review also.

The first section was hard to write? I believe it, because the feelings that were generated within me, by your prose, were difficult to cope with, the anguish and despair were palpable! That is some great writing! That year of self-doubt and agonizing over word choices allowed you to write an amazing story!

You may have answered a question for me in this interview, about why part one of Gateway To Mars was so draining to write: it never once occurred to me that it was the nature of the storyline itself.

Most of the characters in The Martian Diaries actually come from, or are inspired by The War Of The Worlds. I don't want to give spoilers away about those in volume 3, but I wanted them to have the same depth and level of purpose as any found in H.G Wells' original book.

Just like Jack Stent, my protagonist in the first part of volume 3, Alan Stirling acts on his gut instinct, which is a huge problem for the rest of the Mars team, and I especially feel sorry for his exasperated team leader.

The antagonists for me are, and always have been, the Martians themselves, from the beginning of The War Of The Worlds to the end of volume three of The Martian Diaries. Their thoughts and persistent idea of invading Earth ultimately cause them to fall foul of their own cold and merciless nature – or does it?

There's room for a fourth book to The Martian Diaries, set in 2171 and starting ominously with, “I remember Alan Sterling...” But don't tell my long-suffering editor, whose first choice of book isn't science fiction!

Dying from dehydration and starvation is very painful and puts the sufferer in a strange mental state. You must have studied quite a bit about those topics because Jack's experience was so vivid for me.

A fourth volume? That is exciting news for me and your other fans. We look forward to a continuation.
