Spooky season is upon us, October has returned.
First things, I survived the Convid-Convention Covid- that most people I know seemed to get hit with. I was negative but all my friends had it from mild to terrible. Which includes are favorite narrator Andie. Hard to narrate when you got plugged sinus and a scratchy throat. Good news she's over it now and nearly done with TWI1 Remastered.
That means she'll be moving onto one of my books in early October. The twist is due to deadlines she'll be recording AL2, before she gets to AR7. I believe she'll be recording them both this month, but Podium needs AL2 since they already have the preorder listed for it. So good news-bad news there depending on what you are waiting for. Oh, here's the link for the preorder.

Speaking of AL2: MX Hub...It came out on the 6th of September as a preorder. We did have a couple of bumps with it, mostly on the back end, as I wasn't at my desk to double check everything. I do apologize to those Patreon people whose names got missed in the author note. The update was sent to Amazon and you should be on the updated version now.
It has been doing well, not Aether's well, but well enough. I'm gratified as I love being able to do this sci-fantasy series, and hope you will all stay with me as I get to expand and evolve the universe Zander has appeared in.

Which brings us on to what comes next. The next book to be published will be Luck's Voice 7: Rail-Laid Plans. Current release date is slated for November 15, but as always I will be trying to move it up. That will depend on edits, but we have a good track record on early releases. I really enjoyed writing this one as it expands Emerita outside of Coalrud. Things were set in motion with book 6, and I wonder how many guessed what will happen in book 7. Hope you all enjoy it.
As LV7 is with the editors though that does mean I've moved onto BW11. BW11: Divine Agreements, that's the working title I have at the moment. This should be the last book for Binding Words. Things were put into play with book 10 and it should all be coming to a close. I'm not sure how surprising some things will be, but I'm sure some will love it, some will hate it, and others will mostly just enjoy it.
It'll be odd to wrap the series, it's been 5 years since BW1, that came out August 2018. Wow that takes me back as I've only been published for 7 years...more on this in a bit...Five years with Sean as he tries to understand the world Morrigan sent him to. The tentative release for BW11 is January 17th, but there's a chance we might see about slipping it closer to the start of 2024, or even into the end of 2023...maybe.
Now as people will be asking, I've had 2 different series both ask me to use my free time...the little bit of time I give myself to game or read...to write them. One is a cyberpunk-ish theme but with demons. The other is more of a cultivation-LITRPG feel. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the Cultivation one. It'll have stats and skills, with a clear guide on how people advance. Most importantly though are the characters, the MC and main heroine are...flawed. It'll be interesting as I touch upon things I haven't really touched on in a while. Ah well that's all in the future.
Now back to the published author for 7 years thing I put off. October 3rd is my anniversary for that. There is a contest running until the 2nd, so you don't have much time if you want to get in on it. Facebook, Discord, and Patreon all have the contest running. You can enter once per platform, so a lot of winners who will get prizes, including a limited number of the red shirt/cameo spots. So if you haven't entered yet, do it quickly.
That's everything. Hope to see you in Thanking Season, aka November.
