That is the last ebook published for this year. The next one is going to be Binding Words 4: Forged Bonds, with a hopeful date of Janurary 20th. Patreon is starting to get chapters of that now.
Speaking of Patreon, it will be getting an overhaul late in December, so it'll be fresh and new come Janurary. All the information for that is already up as a post on Patreon, but it includes more chapters, and at the higher tiers even merch from the online store.
Audio is next:
Alpha World 8 is slated for release Dec 10th per Podium. I don't have a preorder link yet, but when I get one I'll be giving it out to all of you as soon as I can, via; Twitter, Facebook, Discord, etc.
Audio for AG5 is being handled by Tess Irondale, she has the script and will start recording it soon. Likely a couple of months out though, think February.
I think that covers the now, and short term future. Now we can rove a bit further afield.
With RQ not having done well, I'm pushing it to a series that will get hit here or there, and trying a new series to see if it can be as well received as AG and BW. It's a magic academy-cultivation mashup, don't want to spoil anything, but the MC is a magi and taken to the academy to train so he can serve his time for the empire before he is freed from service. It also mashes eastern and western themes, heh, it's going to be a different book, but that's normal for me. I'm almost done writing it now, and it's hitting over 120k so far, which is pretty lengthy for my books, and it doesn't finish the first year, just the first half of the year at the academy.
That wraps up everything for me to talk about, so let me thank you for taking the time to read my rambling mess of a blog. The year has gone, and the next one is coming fast, I hope you will continue to enjoy my works. Have happy holidays, which ever ones you celebrate, and I'll see you in the new year.

Just discovered the Binding Words series on Audible and loved it. Will check out more of your stuff. But I am curious as to how long it will take for BW4 to hit audio book after its release in January.
ReplyDeleteNormally it runs at least 2 months behind for audio. I'd say maybe April for the audio.
DeleteWell just in time for my birthday then. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find a link to the Discord?

DeleteIn next blog will there be word about Delta World my heart needs to know if i need to let it go?
ReplyDeleteDelta World isn't on the slate any time soon.
DeleteI hope that if you decide to do Delta World (and really hoping you do because myself and a group of friends love the series) I hope that you can get Peter to do the audio book. I'm absolutely in love with the book and the way that he brings life to every character.
DeleteI second this. I'm a trucker and I listen to a lot of books throughout my runs. Alpha world is one of my favorites by far. Ill be checking out your other books for sure. But I really do hope for a Delta World Series.
DeleteI want to thank you for always keeping us up to date with release dates and other info, I've enjoyed all your books from audible and cant wait for the next book to come out keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listening and enjoying them.
DeleteDaniel, thank you for sharing such an exciting update. I am thrilled to learn BW 4 is underway, as that is currently my all time fave series..that is saying something, as I read a fair few books. Your new series' (magi training at an academy etc.) sounds really interesting and right up my street. I eagerly anticipate 2020 now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you and your loved ones and once again, thank you for all your excellent work this year!
Thank you for saying so. I hope you enjoy them both.
DeletePlease please please do a Delta world series I promise to preorder and buy every single book
ReplyDeleteThere might eventually be a delta world, but it won't be for a year or more as I have a lot of stories I want to tell.
DeleteI just finished AW and really need a DW
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but Delta World won't be coming soon.
DeleteNoooooooo I just finished the audio version and my heart broke! Five stars across the board. Can’t wait to hear if delta world will ever start!
ReplyDeleteI have plans for a Delta World, but it'll be a while before I get to it as I want to tell some other stories as well.
DeleteFor a future AG book have you thought about having the team find a huey or blackhawk. Also Kuro found a key to a truck what did she end up doing with that? Just curious
ReplyDeleteFlying in a world that has dragons could be problematic
