Hi everyone! April is finally here and I hope you’ve brought your floaties! I don’t know what you’re all looking at weather wise in your parts of the world, but let me tell you, here we have been, and are going to continue to be, soaked. It’s been raining hard for the last week and it’s going to keep raining hard for the next couple weeks! But as it happens though, that’s a good thing on my end of things, because it’s kept me nice and close to my work so I can keep on top of this schedule of mine! So without any further ado, let’s see how this month shaped up!

Back Into The New

I know last month we talked about finishing and I am glad to say that everything there went well! We had all our stuff locked, loaded, sent off, commissioned, and so on to make sure that everything from Starbreaker, to Eternal Realms, to Paragon 4 were ready to fall into your hands. That meant that this month was largely a split between a little R&R as those things finished off for good and refocusing as I switched gears back into pure ‘writing mode’ on Requiem.

Oh, and uh, well, some World of Warcraft too. These expansions don’t play themselves, you know?

In any case, things have been flying along on both the Requiem and Last Sovereign fronts and I am hoping to make great progress on the both of them this month now that I don’t have to switch between so many projects. If all goes well I am ‘hoping’ that we’ll see the end of Requiem sometime in May, and maybe sometime mid-summer with TLS, that book in particular is shaping up to be another one of my slower paced ‘mega-chonker’ type novels, so it’s a bit difficult to say just how long it might end up yet.

There Are Releases Abound In The Meantime Though!

I know we’ve had a little bit of a quiet stretch since Starbreaker 4 released in Janurary, but I am happy to say that the next little while is going to be anything but! This past week we had the release of Paragon of Time (Book 4) and over the next 4 weeks we are going to be celebrating the releases of Aetherforged 2 as well as Starbreaker: Volume 5!

But wait, there’s more too! Starbreaker: Volume 6 and Eternal Realms Book 1 are now serializing on my Website and Royal Road! If you’re itching to see what my next projects will look like, now is the time to jump in!!

In any case, I know there are a heap of things I’ve mentioned here, so here are a crop of links so you can end up where you want to be!

This is Going To A Staple, But Pre-Order Ascend Online’s Traditional Edition!

I know we had this up last month, but in the interests of getting the word out, this is going to be a staple line for the next few months: Ascend Online is getting a special traditionally published hard cover version through Aethon and if you want to see more from the series, please help me by pre-ordering it!

Available at Barnes and Noble this book is a fancy new edition that will be available at all major retailers across the world and like I said before, I need your help to make that happen! The more copies we get pre-ordered the more shelf space they’ll reserve for us! So all the support that you can give us now, will only help us down the road for more!

And We’re Wrapped Again!

I hope all this was exciting for all of you to kick this hopefully warmer, and hopefully not so wet, month off! We’ve got plenty of things to look forward to over the next few weeks and I hope you love everything that we have on deck! Until we see each other again, I hope you all stay happy and healthy and I look forward to seeing you all in May!
