Took far too long to finally reach this point, but here I am after a few months of relative silence. The title of this post makes things pretty clear off the bat, but there's some details to go over.
Firstly, because I know quite a few people glance over author notes, I don't intend to drop this story with just half of Book 5 left to go. At the very least I have somewhere between 20-40 chapters left for this book (from where the advance chapters are, Chapter 272 for reference). Book 6 may take significantly more time just due to its overall structure, as well as avoiding entire chapters spent on worldbuilding and exposition. Guess I'll find out when I start writing it. Anyway, onto the main topics...
A New Kind Of Freak: Sweet Revenge releases next week on the 3rd of April 2023!

The Book 2 Pre-order is now available on Amazon, currently as a purchasable ebook, but those with KU will be able to read it there on release. As for the date, 3rd of April, I chose the soonest possible with everything ready. I am just waiting on the high-res version of cover art from a typographic artist, which is why the current listing has a blurry image. The price is $4.99 like Book 1, although a pdf/epub copy of the RR chapters will be made available before the book goes live. These are free to access on my discord server, but following the release must be requested so that I follow KU's TOS. In the future, there will probably also be short-term deals on earlier books in the series during new releases, whether this means you'd rather wait for a discounted price or just pay the full $4.99 is a possibility I want readers to be aware of. This discount will like be between 50-80% off the base price, I have yet to decide an exact amount. And now the other serious news which I wasn't here to announce.
The AudioBook for A New Kind Of Freak: Bitter Reality is available on Audible!

This one is on me for the problematic silence during this time period, the Audiobook released ~2 weeks ago. Because almost everything was managed by Podium there's very little for me to say here, but overall I can say they were generally a great help throughout the process and I was satisfied with the choices they made. I'm looking forward to the releases of Books 2 & 3 as Audiobooks in the future, and if they perform well I see no reason the whole series couldn't find their way into the format.
To end off this matter, we also have several pieces of artwork that I had commissioned including a few possible repeats because I cannot remember which were already posted to RR.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
