April 2019

Man, that month went by too fast. March was a pain in the ass. Let's digress into life issues for a moment. My best friend's dad died this month, that sucked. Losing a loved one is always hard, family doubly so. I had a plumbing issue that took a full week and 2 plumbers to solve, needless to say the first plumber will never get my business again. The good thing this month was purchasing the land I plan to build a home on.

Okay now that we've done life shit, let's get to the part you all really want to know about, books and audio.

Binding Words 2: Life Bonds is out on audio, preformed by the lovely and talented Andrea Parsneau. I was thrilled to have her once again voice the characters there. If you enjoyed her first rendition in the series you'll love the second.

The next big news is that Alpha World 7: Darkhand is now live for you to read.

Those are the two big things to speak about first. The big news isn't over though, I'm almost done writing Alpha World 8 at this point, and it is the last book of the alpha World Series. I know that makes a lot of you sad, but I have many more stories to come, so please stay with me.

The next book that will come out is going to be Apocalypse Gates 4, around June 1st. Following that will be Binding Words 3, around August 1st. Both of these might move up, depending on the editors and how fast they can get through it.

I held a small live chat when the book was released and gave away 6 copies for free. I'm considering making that a normal release event, not 100% certain yet, but there was a lot of chatter for the hour I did it and it felt good. Speaking of Live Chats, the next monthly one will be April 15th @5pm PST.

I think that about covers everything to touch on this month. What I plan to do with the Alpha world slot once I finish AW8 is still up in the air, but I'm leaning towards filling it with a new series, but time will tell, because I'll be writing AG5, and then BW4 before that happens.

One last thing before I go, remember to review books. Not just mine, but everyone's books. The more reviews a book has the more it gets bumped in Amazon's system to get it in front of people via also bought, and recommended. Reviews matter a great deal to indie authors, so please take a minute or two and leave a review.

Until next month, may the books keep you entertained.

  3. I've read both Alpha world and Apocalypse Gates series, and AW is by far my favorite. Specifically, I enjoy the read & listen option on the kindle app.

    Do you have a release date for the audiobook of AW7?

    Thank you for your hard work! I've enjoyed it.

    1. Audio is in the hands of Podium, so I don't have a timeline for it. Based on previous releases through I'd guess 2-3 months.

    2. Thank you. I just finished reading it without the audiobook, and am looking forward to listening to it when that comes out too.

      I am not sure how many other women read your books, but I sure do enjoy your characterization and story telling.

  4. Well I just devoured the Alpha World series, glad to hear the final book is almost finished. The last 3 days I have spent all my free time reading that series..its been awhile since I've had a series that has made me choose reading over sleep..lol. So thanks for some awesome writing and a few tired days at work. Now I have to go leave some reviews on all the books since I couldnt be bothered to write a review when the next book was a click away. Sorry..and Thank you

  5. @Schinhofenbooks this question is about Binding Words and i don't know if you would be able to answer this (if you didn't mention it for a reason only to be revealed later on or you wanted it to be a surprise i understand but one of the characters had been acquainted with the Winter Queen at least) but what races are the queens of Summer and Winter? Again if you can't answer i understand was just curious because any time i read a book series i always have things going on in my mind like "well if i was in this situation i would have asked this question" and so on...Anyway loved the last Alpha World book myself and can't want for the audible book to come out also keep up the great work and can't wait for the 3rd book of Binding Words!
