Move over, November is here!
Nov 01, 2023
Hi everyone! We are back again! Happy November! I hope that you’ve all had a great end to the spooky month and a very, very happy Halloween! Now that the last big holiday is out of the way we can start the Christmas countdown!!! (Haha – please don’t hurt me!)
Impending seasonal festivities aside, it’s been an incredibly busy month on my end of things to wrap up the year, so let’s go and take a look at what I’ve been up to and where things are going from here!
Threads of Fate Is Nearly Wrapped!
Look at the wordcount jump this month! This last month has been an absolute frenzy as I’ve been finishing off Book 5 of AsO, and I am happy to say that I am expecting to wrap this book within the next week or so if I don’t hit any surprises along the way! (Yaaaay!) If any of you want to read the book immediately, the best place to do that will be over on YONDER where the whole book will be available for you to binge before this month is out.
For those of you who are interested in the Audiobook version, I am happy to announce that this book will be going into recording with Luke Daniels early next year, and we will do our best to have it out ASAP afterwards. It is still a little too early to peg a date as to when it’ll be as I have a ton of books coming out next year, but I think it’s safe to say that spring sometime is a good time to expect its arrival! Soon as I know more, I’ll let you all know!
New Series Reveal – Hat Trick: Drop of a Hat!
So this one has been a long time coming, but I am happy to formally announce a new series with GD Penman and myself called Hat Trick, and even better, it’s available for pre-order on Amazon and Audible already! Both will be live at the same time come December 5th!
So if you’re interested in trying something new and hilarious from me, check out this blurb here, and grab the pre-order now!
***
Absalom Scryne, the greatest wizard of his generation, has been murdered.
There’s no other explanation for why his consciousness now resides in his well-worn but perfectly pointed hat.
Well, he isn’t going to take that lying down . . . or hanging from a branch, as the case may be. Instead, he’ll hop on the head of the first foul-smelling kobold that comes along and convince it that it’s in everyone’s best interests for them to undertake the epic journey through the Badlands—past horny necromancers, rustic werewolves, and rampaging ogres—back to the shining city of magic at the heart of civilization, where he will promptly kick the backside of whoever it was that finally managed to stab him in the back.
Assuming, that is, he can teach a kobold how to use magic, survive all the roaming adventurers who consider a kobold to be a very minor payday, and prevent anyone else from claiming the wealth of arcane knowledge that is now bound within the rather handsome piece of haberdashery that he has become.

Hopefully that sounds super fun for you all! If you’d like to check it out, please hop over to either Amazon or Audible for the pre-order information! And even more exciting – Gray and I are happy to also announce that Book 2 of this series is already finished and that we are both expecting to wrap book 3 by the end of the year! That means you’ll all be able to enjoy the whole series without any long delays!
Also – since Hat Trick is a brand-new series for us, Gray and I are looking for ARC readers to help give it the best launch possible! If you’re interested in helping us out – please take a look at this ARC Form for more information!
Paragon 3 Is Done!
Adding onto the book frenzy, Alex and I are also happy to announce that book 3 of the Paragon series is now in editing as well and we will be submitting it to Audible as soon as we can for recording along with book 2! We’ve had a bit of a delay here with how busy Travis is to record the book, but we know that it will be both it! Especially when we can get both of these books out back-to-back for you all this coming year! As soon as we have more details on when to expect it, we will let you all know!
Taking A Break To Finish Off The Year
As I am sure you can all tell from my updates, it’s been a crazy hectic end to the year and with all of these projects coming to a close, that means it’s soon time for me to return to a primordial ooze state for the next little while to regroup and recharge. My plans right now are to finish off and deliver all of the above manuscripts then take some desperately needed time for rest and relaxation – as well as to prepare a pair of fun Kickstarter Projects we have coming up soon! So stay tuned for those announcements still to come! I have no doubt that you will want to get your hands on both of them! In the meantime, I hope you all stay healthy and happy for the month and see you all soon!
Luke
