Well here we are again, a new month, and a new blog post.
Let's get things rolling. Andrea finished recording Binding Words 2 audio. Now it is going to her proofer. Once they finish it she'll put it up for me to proof it. Once I sign off it will go to ACX to hand it over to Audible. If everything goes as it should we are looking at late March release of it for you all to grab.
Revisiting my post from last month about AG becoming a once a year series. I've heard a lot from you guys that you really enjoy the series and would like it to continue as it is. I'm currently reconsidering due to the outpouring on this front, and on Facebook. I'm on the fence right now about which way to go, especially with AW wrapping up.
Speaking of Alpha World, book 7 should be ready for the April 1st release. The news that a lot of you don't want to hear though is book 8 is going to be the last of the series following Alburet/Seamus in Alpha World. I'm wrapping up the tale with book 8.
What does that mean for Alburet? Still not 100% certain, I've heard the outcry that people want Delta World. It's not 100% certain he'll complete the quest he was given by Victoria, if he doesn't then well Delta World wouldn't be a fun series at all. If I immediately follow AW with DW, that wouldn't let me explore any other series that I have been bouncing around, without sacrificing AG or BW.
So I'm sure you can all see the conundrum I'm in with what to do here. The next series I want to write is the more tabletop-esque, with a slower level growth but with definite abilities that are granted at each level.
What else do I need to cover this month...maybe the long awaited store?
Yeah, you heard me right, I finally have the beginnings of a store. It's starting small but will likely grow with more items offered once we see what you think. Where is this mythical store you ask? It can be found via my website, or by taking this handy link:

I understand that not everyone can throw cash at things, and as such I'll still be giving away things during the Live Chats on the fan page. The next one will be held on March 13th, 2019 @1200 PM PST. So, if you would like a chance at a shirt, ebook, or audio, make sure to show up and join in on the fun.
Which brings me to another question I'd like to hear back on from you guys. Would you like a Live Chat the day before the books go live to let you know and maybe have the chance at winning a free ebook for the one coming out. It would be held on the fan page over on Facebook. Leave me your comments on a yea or nay.
Until next month, keep on grinding that XP, the next level isn't far away.

This just won't do at all MORE BW or I swear I'll make an agreement with the Queens myself! PS I hope Ryann falls for Sean too.
ReplyDeleteAG need to stay as a priority
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! Any word on BW3? Just tore through the first couple, and can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteBW3 is going to be around August as my other series have books coming out before it.
DeleteFor what it's worth, I'm all for keeping the AG train a-movin' at full speed! That said, I do think it's important to work on what you want to work on.
ReplyDeleteAG is in turning a point and leaving in the dark might not be the best move, Ryann might realize that she could be so much more woth a lifebond as for Alburet if he fails his quest, Marysue is rich and so is 'Francis' they've already promised to help him and his wives
ReplyDeleteI took a look at your store wanted to see the merch for AG I like the shirt and cup. I showed my dad and he thought it was merch from stargate sg-1 good show. Am looking forward to you next book. I am loving all your series so far.
ReplyDeleteIn ref to the store have you considered asking your artist to do copies of his work for you that can be sold as i like his work
ReplyDeleteMy current artist I could do that with. The art I had previously there are a few I can't sell as I don't have the rights to the artwork beyond the cover.
DeleteI ate up all the current books for AW on audible and i can't wait to see what would happen next with it....*crossing fingers for DW* as for BW I really didn't know if i would like it when i picked it up from a suggestion on Kindle and i was happy i did really can't wait for a 3rd book. in the mean time since book 2 is coming out of audible i may pick up both of them and listen to both of them again while i wait. I may also check out AG if my reading choices open up. keep up the great book though i am a fan.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like 2 of my 4 series so far. AG is a lot more adult then the others, so be aware of that. BW2 audio should be out any day now.
DeleteI love all your work, i have all of AG and AW, Going to give BW a try. I'd love for Alburet to finish his quest and move on to delta world with all his family and friends. P.S your my favorite author keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletePraise like that really helps out after a bad day, Sam, so thank you. I hope you enjoy the continuation of AG and AW. Let me know how BW sits with you once you get to it.
DeleteI've finished BW And i love it! Can't wait for the next book to hit audible, it just seems i can't get enough of your work, great job!!!!!
DeleteI would love AG to continue as it is but if not im sure i will love the new project as much as all your other work so its still a win win for me either way. Thankyou for the many well spent listening hours so far and looking to have many more.
