February 2025

 Well, here we are...February...man the 2020's really need some help.
Let's get to good talk about books.

This month has seen the release of the last book in the Luck's Voice series. Luck's Voice 9: Blessed Nations was released on preorder on the 1st of this month. Doc's story comes to its conclusion as he does something he never wanted to do...play politics.

A comment about audio, Andie has told me we're still on track for her to record LV8 at the end of this month. She'll then follow LV8 with recording LV9. That should mean late March or early April should see the audio for LV finish up as well.

Since LV is now done, that means the rotation now drops from 4 series to 3 series. The next book will be Aether's 10, then Heavenly 3, before we get to Antecedents 5. Aether's is currently slated for April 1st, and no that's not an April Fool's joke. I'm trying to move to a book every 2 months on the 1st. Aether's as they tend to go long might mean we miss the mark, but we'll be doing our best to hit it. I won't put up a preorder until I know we can meet the date.

I've already started writing Aether's 10, and man it's going to be so good...no spoilers but I love the hell out of the book and series. There is so much for you to look forward to and I can't wait for it to happen. A couple of months and you'll understand.

Once I finish writing AR10 I'll actually be moving onto AL5, because HC3 has already been written. For those hoping I'll shift the schedule, it isn't happening, but June 1st will see you with CH3 in your hands. You'll all have a few answers to things you've likely been curious about in the series, but it just means more questions.

I think that's about it for updates. The next live chat is the 15th at 6pm Pacific this month. Come and hang out and get the chance to win one of the challenge coins. They're live on Twitch for those who want to show up.

Oh wait, some people did ask me. AL4 actually took the record for top sales spot for the series. It did more for the 1st month then the first 3 books did for their respective months. Not often a book 4 outshines the rest of the series, normally you see a drop off not a swing up. I'm gratified and happy that so many people jumped in with Zander and gang. IF you've read it you know what's coming and if you're waiting on audio, that's in Podium schedule. I don't know when they plan to have it recorded or put up for sale yet, but I will update once I know.

That's it, so stay safe out there and I'll see you in March.

January 2025

 Here we are January 1st of 2025...can this be the year to break the Dumpster Fire 20's?

Well let's focus on good news like books, shall we?
First off, we just published Antecedents' Legacy 4: Antecedents' Assembly. It went out on Dec 23rd, and looks to be in line with the rest of the series, possibly even bumping things up a little. Sounds like good news for Badger on his war with the Entoma.
The audio for it is likely to be a bit out as it's a Podium book and had to be scheduled with them. I'll of course tell you more when i know more.

Speaking of audio though we have a firm preorder now for HC2...

Also on the audio front we should see LV8 being recorded in February. Even better news if things go right LV9 will be getting recorded right after it.

Luck's Voice 9: Blessed Nations will be the last book of the series and is hopefully going to publish on February 1st. This is going to run tight into my new release schedule, but it looks like we'll pull it off without trouble. Not sure if I'll get a preorder up for it though.

After Luck's Voice 9, it'll be Aether's 10. I'm hopeful to hit the new release schedule of April 1st. But if things run long with it we might end up bumping it into April past the 1st.

Then after AR10, it'll be HC3. And that'll start the 3 series rotation going forward of AL, AR, HC.
It's going to be a different year for me. The start is going to be a little more frenetic as I wrap a series and shift to a 3-book rotation. It's more the set release dates that'll do it more than anything else, but I have a lot of hope for things to work out.

On other news, my conventions are just the LITRPG in Denver, DragonCon in Atlanta, and the reader day at the Author Nation in Vegas. I stepped out of JordanCon this year as between life and the new schedule it was looking too busy for me to juggle the con in there too. Sucks as I will miss the good people I met there, but life is life. The only plus side of missing it is my allergies won't try to murder me, as spring in Atlanta nearly did last year.

For those who want to try hitting the live chat this month it'll be the 15th at 2pm pacific time. Hope to see you there for the chance at free loot.

Until next month, stay safe and let's hope this year breaks the trend of the decade.
