Here we are at august already, good gods time is flying by.
Let's start with old news first. LITRPG con was on fire...literally and figuratively. The small fire that got us evacuated from the hotel was definitely something to remember. For those of us there it again brought home the family feeling the genre has as people pitched in to help calm each other and also to help track down those who were staying in the hotel. A major thanks to those who stepped up in the moment.
Now the figurative part, it was said that 1,200 tickets or so were sold for the convention- I do not have the real numbers- and that's amazing. A first-year con pulling in 1k people is insane, but then again most of us are passionate about the genre. I know I came with 800 shirts and we got rid of around 600-ish of them. Along with dozens of coffee cups, 150 signed copies of Heavenly Chaos 1, and then the complete, or near complete, signed sets of every paperback I had.
There was never a moment something wasn't happening, between panels and games on offer. It was a packed three days of fun and comradery. I got to see all my friends in the genre; plus see fans I've met before and fans I hadn't met before. Sure it personally taxed my introvertedness to be so extroverted, but I did my best. I can't wait for next year to do it again, they already announced it'd be July 10-12 2026, once again in Denver.
Okay let's shift gears now and drop back to book stuff.
Audio stuff is smaller so we'll cover that first:
Luck's Voice 9: Blessed Nations- is now out: https://www.audible.com/pd/Blessed-Nations-Audiobook/B0FHL31JC2
For those that have been waiting enjoy.
Antecedents Legacy 4: Antecedents' Assembly is supposed to go up with a preorder on the 15th, according to Podium. We will have to see if that happens. I will post to my socials if it does.
Heavenly Chaos 3: Heavens Reflected audio was recorded and handed off to Podium as well, but I don't have any date for that yet.
That covers audio stuff for now.
Book stuff is next.
HC3: Heavens Reflected did amazingly well, not discounting the negative reviews. I'll be looking forward to how you all enjoy the next book when it comes out.
But what you might be here for is the fact that Antecedents' Legacy 5: Assembly's Folly is out by the time you read this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHMFTX27
Hope you all enjoy Zander doing Zander things. It was fun to write and it's going to be amazing to write the next one in the series too.
Of course, with AL5 out the door that means the next book up will be AR11. It's with my editors now and we're looking at October 1st for the release of that. Greg and family in Krogga, lots of things happening before the Krogga arc closes out.
This does mean that Patreon chapters will be shifting to AR11 for those who want a taste before the book comes out.Just remmeber to keep Patreon info in the Patreon discord channel if you bring it to discord.
And of course we have the Kickstarter for the deluxe AR1 book that officially launches on the 25th, but the pre-page is up now if you want to be emailed by Kickstarter when it launches to get the early bird discounts.
I will be showing a little something off this live chat too, sooooooo....
Live chat this month will be 6pm pacific time on August 15th. Join us on twitch for that if you'd like.
It is the easiest way to grab a challenge coin too, by being there and giving me a question or a talking point. That gets you entered into the drawing for coins. I give away five every Live Chat.
And now onto DragonCon news:
I know I have at least 1 panel. But I don't know if there will be more or even when the 1 is yet. I'll post to socials when I know more, which is normally a week prior to the con.
I will be there though, and I should be at a signing table at least once as well. So easy to find me to sign something if you are coming.
Wow that was a lot of stuff to cover.
I think I touched it all though, so we'll call it done here.
Until next month, be safe and best wishes on everything in your life.
