August 2018
Welcome back everyone, this month is going to be a busy one.
Dragoncon is at the end of this month, I've already made airlines and hotel reservations, as well as having my ticket. So come August 30th I'll be in Atlanta for the event. I have no planned meet ups or anything yet, and I need to look into anew phone so I can twitter and such so those attending have a chance of finding me. I'll have a handful of shirts on hand to give out, not many with a slim selection of sizes but I'll give them out to people here or there if they can answer a question or three of mine.
Remember that AW5 audio is coming out in a few days.
Here is the US Link:
https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Keeps-Alpha-World-Book/dp/B07DLJGBJ3
It's up for preorder for those of you that want to make sure you have it ready to go on launch day.
Speaking of audio, I'm proofing through AG2 right now. It will take me a day or two to get it done, then I'll hand it back to Andrea for a few small tweaks, which will be a bit delayed as she is on a much deserved vacation. Once she gets it back to me I'll be handing it over to ACX and they take 10 days or so to finally hand it to Audible for sale. My best guess is late August, or early September on when it becomes available.
I've also talked with Andrea about doing the audio for Binding Words, she thinks she can start on it after Dragoncon, which would be amazing.
Binding Words is my newest series, the first book is Morrigan's Bidding and should be out around the middle of August. It features a portal/reincarnation story, with an overpowered main character and a harem which is clearly started by the end of book 1. It will have graphic imagery in it, but not as much as Apocalypse Gates.
I'm currently writing Bing Words 2 right now. AW6 is in edit and AG3 is waiting for the editors to finish AW6. So I have things lining up to get them out to you all, just bare with me. I'm still on pace for a book every 2 months. If things keep going well I'll be able to turn them out every 6 weeks, I hope.
The Fan page over the last month on Facebook has exploded, we're rapidly approaching 800 people. If you haven't already joined you should. I do Fan chats every 100 people and a week or so after a release, though this one might be cutting close to Dragoncon. Here is the link to join us:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/364674377283655.
Patreon has been slightly restructured, I added in an art tier for those who want to see the art before anyone else. On top of increasing chapter releases to twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays. I'm considering making it 3 times a week, but haven't decided yet. I'll be asking my Patreons their opinions in the next few weeks. Here is the link for that page as you can't search for it at all.

As my last mid-month post explained, I'm no longer in Kindle Unlimited. Amazon has been a bit vague and heavy-handed with their suspensions and bans, as such I decided the risk wasn't worth losing my ability to sell with them. My books are still for sell on Amazon, and I'll be getting them up to the other booksellers when I can but it will probably be after Dragoncon before I do.
On the website front, it is moving forward. The store is going to be part of it and I have ordered t-shirts to sell to all of you. As soon as I have the address and its stable, I'll do a post and get you all the information.
That about wraps up everything going on with me and my works. Thank you again for your support and taking the time to read this post.
See you at the Con,

Quick update July 2018
A small update for you all,
Kindle Unlimited is being volatile again. As such I'm going to be pulling my books from the program. This is hard for me as I've always been a supporter of it, but I can't risk them suspending or terminating my account. If they did I wouldn't be able to put my books onto Amazon at all.
I'm deeply sorry to those of you that have used KU to read my books, but I hope you understand. As a fulltime writer now, if I can't sell to Amazon who owns 70%+ of market share then I'm not able to be a writer.
At the moment it is just the automatic renewal that is unclicked, but I have contacted KDP and asked for the books to be removed early. I'm currently waiting on their reply.
Thank you all for your support, and again if you've only been reading my books through KU, I'm deeply sorry for taking this step.
Regards,
Daniel Schinhofen

July 2018
A little late getting this out, I suck. I'll be switching back to the 1st of the month, instead of the first Thursday starting in August. With that said, let's jump right into the madness shall we?
Okay first things first, Audio update. Alpha World 4 is out on Audio, has been since June 19th, here is the US link;
https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Keeps-Alpha-World-Book/dp/B07DLJGBJ3
Secondly about audio, Andrea is signed on for AG2, and is recording it this month, hopefully I'll have it out in late August for you all.
Thirdly for audio, I'm in talks with Andrea to do the narration of my next series, but if we do that she'll be running behind as she is booked until the end of the year. Popular narrators have busy schedules. We're firming up on her being the one for it, and she has already set aside time for AG3.
Okay now onto books:
Apocalypse Gates 2 (Author's Cut): Valley of Death is out, here are links.
US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F5M1TTZ
UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F5M1TTZ
AU: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07F5M1TTZ
CA: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07F5M1TTZ
It is doing well, not as well as Alpha World, but still okay. Please leave reviews once you've read it. And yes there is only the Author's Cut, the PG-16 edition is in violation of Amazon's ToS, so only Adult content going forward.
Next for books, the next one out is going to be Binding Words book 1: Morrigan's Bidding. It's the first of a new series that is part portal/part reincarnation. The world is ruled by the two queens Summer and Winter. it is slated for September, but I'll be at Dragon con so maybe it will come out before.
On that note, Let's talk conventions.
I'll be at Dragon Con this year. This is fucking huge, I'm not a people person, so this is a major step for me. I'll bring some shirts to give out to people. And will gladly talk to any fan who wants to chat at me, but please be aware if I'm distant it's not you, its me. I hope to see some of you there at least, and I'll be there for the entire con.
What else do we have, oh the website... yes I'm getting one made finally. Which means there might be a store with things you can all buy. I still need to make physical copies of books, its something I need to look into still, but they are coming closer too.
The fan page on Facebook is going to be having a live chat the week after a book launch that will contain spoilers of the last book released, so if you've read it and have questions come on by. This one is July 7th at 1PM PST.
It looks like a book every two months is going to be doable. The editors haven't started a revolt yet, so it looks like a go. I'm still looking at the idea of every six weeks, but that isn't a thing, yet at least.
And on that bombshell, I hope you all have a good month, and I look forward to telling you more next month.
P.S.
Almost forgot, the Patreon page has a super subscriber currently which means short stories are coming. One coming July 15th for supporters, and maybe for the next month or two if someone continues to fund the top tier.
And this time I mean it, see you in August.

June 2018
Welcome back folks, not sure how much we have to talk about but let's dive in, shall we.
Firstly Apocalypse Gates 2: Valley of Death is with the beta readers right now. Looks like a July 1st release on that, barring unexpected issues happen. The beta readers have been enjoying the book, so it makes me think you all will enjoy it as well. A side note, there is only going to be the Author's Cut edition going forward. The PG-16 version did abysmally and it comes really close to breaking ToS with Amazon, so I have to discontinue it.
Secondly is Audio. Podium tells me AW4 is June 19th but I don't have a preorder link to share yet. AG2 audio will start recording right around the time of release, Andrea Parsneau has agreed to come back aboard for continuing the narration, which I'm super excited about.
The editors are currently picking apart Binding Words, Morrigan's Bidding. The 1st book at least is decidedly shorted the my other books, at a little over 80k words opposed to the normal 100k+, but I think it got to a very nice stopping point and let it end there.
AW6 has been finished and is now under first revision pass by me. That normally takes 2 days, and then I will be moving on to the next project.
The next big project will be AG3, I'm super excited to continue this story and show you guys more of the world, and maybe even beyond it. So many things lined up for it. Can't wait to jump into it.
Before I dive into that though, I have a Patreon fan who is funding the big reward again, which means more short stories to come again. In talks with them now to find out which series and topic they would like, but if the pledge holds through the month then middle of next month should bring a nice short story for you all if you are a Patreon supporter.
I've also been trying to pin down artists for book covers and maybe some extra artwork. I've worked with some amazing artists, but getting scheduled in to get a cover out on time can be decidedly tricky. I'm going to be getting at least one artist to do covers for one series at least which will be done on time and exactly the way I want. The artwork might not be the highest of quality but I'm taking the trade off.
As I'm sure most of you know I'm full-time now for writing, which means I should be able to get a book out every 2 months, which is a step up from every 3+ months as it had been previously.
Live Chats on Facebook are going to happen with near every book release and with every 100 fans. The number of prizes will be reduced but as the Live Chats will happen regularly it means a good chance people will win things, so stop by during the streams, undecided still if it will be the week before with no spoilers, or the week following with spoilers, but I'll have to figure that out soon.
I think that about covers it all folks. Things are going to be busy, and I should be getting you books with a regular release schedule so you can all be looking forward to them.
P.S. Dragoncon later this year is a go, I have rooms and plane tickets all lined up already. So if your in the Atlanta area that weekend, you'll have a good chance of catching me to say hello.
And on the bombshell,
Until the next time.

May 2018
Holy crap is it May already?
Wow, time flies. Between working the night job and writing I am surprised to find it already into the 5th month. However this month does bring us plenty of news so lets dive in, shall we.
Alpha World 5: Fractured Spirit is live, it went out on the 1st of May.
US:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CRZXSH1
UK:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CRZXSH1
If you search for the title in your region you'll find it. I don't think Amazon's linked it to the series yet. It takes them awhile sometimes. I got it out almost a whole month faster then i had thought I would. The reason why, I'm trying to streamline the editing and beta reader process. If it works the way I hope I should be able to get you a book every other month. The next couple of books will tell me if its really possible or not.
Speaking of Alpha World, Podium has given me the date of June 19th for AW4 to hit Audible. If you've been waiting it's going to be a bit longer. They have the manuscript for AW5 so hopefully they can turn that one around sooner. They will have time to catch up though as AW6 is currently being written and I have two other books ahead of it in editing right now.
The next book out will be Apocalypse Gates 2: Valley of Death. I'm hoping for a July release but we shall see how the new process goes. I know a number of you have been waiting for more Alvin and Gothy. I just hope you like where they take the story.
Following that will be the first of a new series that I wanted to test the waters with. I'm still working on the series name but the first book is Morrigan's Behest. It is a reincarnation/portal fantasy book with an Overpowered Main Character. Depending on how well its received I hope to have it run for a bit as Alpha World is slowly coming to a close.
I'm currently writing AW6, it will have more hunting in it then the last couple of books as most of the deep character storylines are wrapping up in AW5. It won't change the tone much, but it does mean more action for those who enjoy that.
I hope to have some great news next month, but I need to wait and see how AW5 does first. I really hope you all enjoy it as much as you have the others. If it does really well... well, let's just say things can change for the better of everyone who likes my writing.
Just a few days back i did a 2-hour live stream on Facebook. it's over on the fan page if you want to check it out. I'm considering doing them for every 100 members, so another one will be coming at 600 fans. I give away prizes during the stream, tshirts, beta reader spots, audio codes, even a few cameo appearances where people die horribly in a book. Maybe you want to come join up if you haven't already.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/364674377283655/
Well, that should about wrap it up for the month. I'm seriously excited and hope to share more with you all in the coming month. If not for you, my fans, I wouldn't be able to even contemplate what might be. So, from the bottom of by being, THANK YOU!
Until next month, I hope you have a good time reading and living.

April 2018
It's that time again folks, and I see you came to check out the blog.
Not a lot to talk about this month. AW5: Fractured Spirit is with the second editor now. It's still on track for a June release, it might get kicked out a bit head of that but I wouldn't expect much ahead of that.
AG2 is done being written and has gone off to the first editor. If you don't like sexy times in your books, you will want to stay away from AG2 it is going to follow the same style as AG1. I won't be making a pg-16 edition of AG2, due to the books having to be 20% different from each other if I was going to. Amazon frowns on multiple copies of the same book that don't have that 20% separation and as Amazon is how I get all of my books to you, it makes me have to follow their rules.
I did already let you guys know that AG1 is up for audio in my quick update last month. If you want to see the wonderful tones of Andrea Parsneau tell you the tale, it is well worth it. She did a fantastic job with the book, especially those lewd moments.
I'm currently in the middle of writing the 1st book of a new series, it doesn't have a real name yet just a working title; MC OP YO. Which does indicate the MC is going to be Overpowered. It is a reincarnation/transported to another world style of book. Like all of my books it is a bit slow, the first book especially as he is trying to learn about the world he finds himself in and what he can do.
The facebook fan page is doing amazing, we are rapidly closing in on 500 people. I'm thinking of holding a Facebook Live Chat and giving away prizes. It seems the prize most people are interested in is a cameo appearance in the book, (most likely to be brutally killed), which was a little surprising to me.
I'm getting closer to going fulltime as a writer, which is entirely due to you all. Your continued support is making me believe I can do it and not end up one of the starving artists of the world. I'll of course let you all know when that day comes.
I also should thank everyone for the shocking March sales. AW4 sold very well, even without the preorder. The fact there was no preorder helped me get into the top 100 of amazon and stay there for a week. That was because all of you buying it and reading it. Truly I'm humbled that so many of you enjoy my work.
I'm still waiting on the cover for AW5, the artist has been busy and it is a fairly involved cover that I asked for. I can't wait to show it to you all, and as soon as he gets it back to me I will be of course showing it off in the Facebook group.
Well that looks to be about it for this post. If you haven't come by the fan page please do, you'll find a number of others who enjoy the books that will gladly chat with you.
Until next month, have a good one,

AG2 is done being written and has gone off to the first editor. If you don't like sexy times in your books, you will want to stay away from AG2 it is going to follow the same style as AG1. I won't be making a pg-16 edition of AG2, due to the books having to be 20% different from each other if I was going to. Amazon frowns on multiple copies of the same book that don't have that 20% separation and as Amazon is how I get all of my books to you, it makes me have to follow their rules.
I did already let you guys know that AG1 is up for audio in my quick update last month. If you want to see the wonderful tones of Andrea Parsneau tell you the tale, it is well worth it. She did a fantastic job with the book, especially those lewd moments.
I'm currently in the middle of writing the 1st book of a new series, it doesn't have a real name yet just a working title; MC OP YO. Which does indicate the MC is going to be Overpowered. It is a reincarnation/transported to another world style of book. Like all of my books it is a bit slow, the first book especially as he is trying to learn about the world he finds himself in and what he can do.
The facebook fan page is doing amazing, we are rapidly closing in on 500 people. I'm thinking of holding a Facebook Live Chat and giving away prizes. It seems the prize most people are interested in is a cameo appearance in the book, (most likely to be brutally killed), which was a little surprising to me.
I'm getting closer to going fulltime as a writer, which is entirely due to you all. Your continued support is making me believe I can do it and not end up one of the starving artists of the world. I'll of course let you all know when that day comes.
I also should thank everyone for the shocking March sales. AW4 sold very well, even without the preorder. The fact there was no preorder helped me get into the top 100 of amazon and stay there for a week. That was because all of you buying it and reading it. Truly I'm humbled that so many of you enjoy my work.
I'm still waiting on the cover for AW5, the artist has been busy and it is a fairly involved cover that I asked for. I can't wait to show it to you all, and as soon as he gets it back to me I will be of course showing it off in the Facebook group.
Well that looks to be about it for this post. If you haven't come by the fan page please do, you'll find a number of others who enjoy the books that will gladly chat with you.
Until next month, have a good one,
Daniel Schinhofen
