Holy fucking hell, we made it through eight months already. I swear it was just February. Fuck it onto the post.
Okay let's start with the big news. Dragon Con by now is basically over. Not sure how many of you made it there or met up with me, but I'm sure if you tried, we managed it. I love the Con and will have more to say next month about it.
As for books...Our last book published was LV8: Emerita Divided. The story is one book away from finish, which is bittersweet. It's great to make it to the end of what I saw in my head when I started. But it's sad because book 8 was a big step down on the business side of things. With only book 9 to go, it's fine to finish it off as it should be. Besides the end of a series normally sees a pick-up in sales as completed series brings back people who put it down earlier.
Doc's story had a lot of fun in it. Incidentally I had a panel at Dragon Con about weird westerns. Hope it was a good panel, I won't know until after this post is published.
Of course what your all wondering is about AR's release date... Some of you probably noticed but it went up on Preorder on the 27th. So go and grab it if you want. It'll release on September 11th. I didn't want to do it over Con week as if something goes wrong, I can't fix it. And I didn't want to do it right after because I might be fighting off con-crude or CoVid. So, I settled on the 11th, which is still 2 weeks sooner than my last estimate.
Here's your link...
Next up on the docket after AR publishes is HC2. Wow I've been eager to get this book out. Ben and Atropos off to the mock-war and delving tournament. With enemies behind them, and a single group of friends that might be able to help. Lots of theroies hit the Discord server chat group. And Patreon readers will start seeing those chapters on September 12th. The release date stays currently at November 25th, but...well we know how I am about early releases.
As for audio:
Podium put up the preorder for Antecedents' legacy 3: Terran Tactics.

As for LV8 audio:
We'll be getting it recorded and out when it's possible, but it's going to be fitting it into Andie's schedule because of my fuck-up on informing her about it. So bear with us as we work through when it can be managed.
I think that's it for now. Stay safe, and hopefully see you next month.
