September 2023

 September here we are. Except I'm letting this post a couple of days early as I'll be at DragonCon when the blog should normally be posted. Busy end of August and start of September for me.

First things first, Antecedents' Legacy 2: MX Hub is up on preodrer. Doing this so I don't have to rush trying to get things ready to publish as soon as I get back from DragonCon. Zander gets to his first space station, or Hub as they're called in this universe, and gets to see more of galactic life. I hope you all enjoy what he gets up to during his time there.
I really love this story hope that you'll all continue to enjoy it with me. There is so much to cover in this series and how things can change and grow. More hints about why the Galactic Civilization is the way it is trickle out. If you pay attention you will begin to see why somethings are the way they are.

The Patreon chapters will be getting pulled down the day I get back from Con so that the book publishes without trouble. September 7th will see the start of Luck's Voice chapters.

Speaking of Luck's Voice, I really look forward to how you enjoy that book too. Some may have seen what is coming others will not have. But the stage for Book 7 was set in Book 6. I can't say more but it'll become obvious as you read it.
I love all my books, but the fact you have all supported my weird western story makes me very happy. When you limit a story down to specific settings it can limit the audience too. Luck's made me varied worried because of that.

Luck's Voice is in editing already, while Antecedents' gets its last polish. But that leaves me with Binding Words 11 on my plate. That is what I'm currently working on, and man is it going to be something. BW11 should wrap up the series, I've been wrong before about how many books it takes, but I'm pretty confident on this one. There are only a few things that have to happen for the story to reach its conclusion. You should know what they are, and I'm not spelling them out here.
If things go right, we'll see BW in early 2024. Which will put it at a little over five years for Sean's story to be told. August 2018 is when the first book was published launching Sean's story into the open. What a ride.

For those who are waiting on audio, Andie should be recording AR7 in late September. Which might mean we see it in November. As for Al2, it'll be on her schedule, the good news is she won't have any more TWI this year, so she should easily clear the small backlog.

Well that about wraps up what i had to say for the month. DragonCon will dominate the first week for me. If you are there or in the area and want to know where to find me I've attached my schedule below. The Under the Sea event and Meet and Greet are not Con events so you don't have to attend DragonCon to show up for them. If you are around stop in and say hi.

Until next month, stay safe,

August 2023

 Seven months down for the year. We made it to August, which has a fun point right at the end of it, DragonCon.

We'll start with books news:
Aether's Revival 7: Moral Stand came out last month. It was a different one as Gregory didn't have any of his wives or wives to be around him. Just a couple of dreams to help him keep in touch. It also encompassed all of his Adept posting to the northern fringe. It was an interesting book, with problems that Gregory had to handle, and did show his growth as a person. I'll be looking forward to the next book which will take him to Krogga.

Audio for this one will be after September as Andie won't be recording it until after DragonCon ends and her throat is healed up from the travel and convention. Which is fully understandable, we hope she doesn't have too much downtime.

Speaking of audio, BW10 audio went out mid-month in July. Andie is amazing as always, the surprising part was ACX/Audible turning the book around in a single day. Normally it takes them 2 weeks. So cheers for that. Sean and Truestrike come to blows in this book. Hope you enjoy it.

Next up on the schedule is Antecedents' Legacy 2: MX Hub. Zander on an alien space station which has never had a Human on it before...I'm sure it'll be fine. Preview chapters of it are up on Patreon and will be until the book is ready to publish. I really enjoy this sci-fi series and hope you will all continue to enjoy it too. I can promise that Zander will be his normal self, so if you like the sarcastic asshole MC, who is interested in alien women, good news for you.

That book is with the editors as we speak, which puts me currently writing Luck's Voice 7: Rail Laid Plans. It's been an interesting story for me, some twists I didn't expect, but a solid book so far. I know where this book will end, and what that means for the future of Emerita and Doc. You might not expect some of the things coming, but what a ride.

Now let me slip into a bit about DragonCon. I've been invited to at least two panels, about for the Apocalypse Rising Track and another for Gaming and Alternative History. They might tap me as a secondary panelist for another couple or might not, we'll find out just before DC, but I'll update social media.
The big news for fans who are going to the con or are just near the Atlanta region, is the meet and greet. I've arranged a fan meet and greet at the Ritz Carlton on Peachtree street, for Thursday August 31 at 3-5 pm local time. I won't have books, but I will have shirts to give away. If you bring books, I will sign them for you. I have verbal confirmation from Andie that she will be there as well, so you can double dip on the goodness. Well, that should cover everything to this point. I hope to see those of you attending the con, or just in the area.

Until next month, stay safe.
