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.
