Here we are with half the year gone and the summer heat crisping the entire country. Hopefully things cool off by the end of August or I'm going to melt when I go to DragonCon.
Let's hit the old news first. Antecedents' Legacy 3: Terran Tactics came out at the tail end of May. There was drop off from book 2, but that might have been because I hadn't run a preorder like I had for book 2. It wasn't a big drop off so nothing to worry about on that front. I'm really looking to what happens in book 4 when things start to snowball from the actions in book 3. Between Zander's love life looking like it's about to grow further, plus the Assembly going to want to talk with him, it's going to be a busy book.
As for the audio, there was a small snafu there, because it runs through Podium and we're working out the small bumps with that, they didn't have AL3 slated for audio like they normally would. Andie was amazing in moving her schedule around as much as she could, so it'll come and far sooner than it looked originally, but it's going to be delayed more than was optimal.
Now onto the new. Luck's Voice: Emerita Divided will be coming out this month. I just moved the date up to July 25th, and will hopefully be able to shift it forward again in the near future. It's going to be a wild ride, especially if you consider the title. I can say that book 9 will end the series and it'll land right in line with my original prediction on the conclusion. It's going to be a crazy ride to get there, but Doc has never wavered from his path.
Now the bad news the audio for LV8 will be delayed even further out. Andie did the best she could, but we might be looking toward the end of the year or even next year for the audio for it. We've gone over what my publishing schedule is looking to be for the rest of the year and into the next, to do our best to not run into a similar problem again. But please bear with us over the short term as we get things evened out.
Onto the future news. After LV8 will come Aether's 9: Empire's Orders. The Patreon chapters will start up when LV8 publishes but that's looking like the end of the month. So if you want the preview chapters you know when to go, but if you want to save some cash, wait for August 1st before going to Patreon for those.
Gregory and family left a lot on the table at the end of book 8. And for those who were hoping for the meeting of the gods in a chapter or two more, it takes a bit longer than that. There was a lot that had to take place after the festival, and the start of the book will show that. Where book 9 ends also wraps up nicely while also leaving a big new thing to look forward to.
I'd put the estimated date for AR9 at October 2nd currently, but as always, I will move it up if things allow.
Then to just mention that Heavenly Chaos 2 will be after Aether's. Ben and Atropos were left waiting for the shuttle to take them to the mock-war. It's going to be a blast as they do their best to take the top spot, while dealing with tricks and traps that will try to pull them down. I don't want to say to much...but, man was it amazing to write.
For those wondering the July Live chat will be on the 15th at 6pm Pacific time. Join us over on twitch for your chance to win one of the series coins.
Stay safe until next time.
